LPFF returns with a four day festival of queer and feminist porn
Full Programme, Tickets and Information
Local Heros
The British queer and feminist porn scene is blooming! So many new possibilities, from the students, to the emerging filmmakers, to the ambitious big projects bringing together experienced producers in new configurations. So quintessentially local, from the Turnpike Lane corner shop, to the Victorian cemetery, to the Regent’s Canal riverboat. This selection spotlights some of the most exciting new voices to emerge in London & UK in the past few years, our community, and the future of porn in our city.

What’s a porn film festival without a little pain? These shorts explore BDSM from light and funny to shut-the- fuck-up. Expect meat hooks, humiliation, golden arcs of ejaculation, body fluids in unexpected places, glitter, leather and much more.

Latin American Post-Porn
London Porn Film Festival is proud to host this selection from the dynamic Latin American feminist and queer porn scene, curated by Brazilian filmmaker and academic Érica Sarmet, gathering films spanning the last decade from countries such as México, Brazil, Colombia, Argentina, Chile and Peru. And the variety is huge. There are films here that deal with gender troubles, queerness, body patterns, the machismo culture, dictatorial pasts, estate violence, abortion legislation and blasphemy, but also melodramatic approaches that link pornography to love, partnership and intimacy.
Guest curator: Érica Sarmet
Érica Sarmet is a filmmaker, screenwriter, curator and academic film researcher from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. She has a Master’s degree in Cinema and Audiovisual and a BA in Media and Cultural Studies, both from Federal Fluminense University, where she wrote an awarded thesis on Latin American post-porn, “Sin porno no hay posporno: body, excess and ambivalence in Latin America (2015)”, which will be published in 2019.

All The Babes
It takes a village to raise a perv. We are taught to believe that sex is a two person thing that happens behind closed doors; in fact, sex, like everything else, is social, and we rely on others for our sense of pleasure, our sense of humour and our sense of self. These shorts explore sex in all its collective glory, whether that be the trusty threesome, ritualistic gang-bangs, tinder-fuelled sexcapades or people coming together to discuss their sexuality and their work. These shorts prove that the more fingers, bodies, asses and mouths, the merrier!

Transhuman Romp
Why be such a bore and limit yourself to just the human body? This collection ranges from hilariously weird fantasy freakery via glitchy cybernetic constructions to profound art meditations on the limits of human biology. Genitals that you can change at your whim or that detach from your body and escape, alien boxes with surprisingly human tongues, bodies that melt end meld into each other – it’s a veritable smorgasbord of the outer limits of sexual imagination.

We’re not taking it lying down
Time to rise up! Britain’s draconian censorship laws – made even worse with the addition of unsafe, data-mining age checks this year – are hitting hard against the queer porn scene. That makes our whole festival a political protest at its core, but this programme zooms in on films that directly deal with the politics of porn itself. Channeling sex workers’ realities, challenges to the hegemony of commercial porn and raucous pornoanarchic protests, this a call to join us and take on the censorship laws head-on!
