NL Porn Film Festival Amsterdam presenteert korte films tijdens Kissable Screens, het maandelijkse sekspositieve programma van Cavia. Dit is een kans om de PFFA-selectie die je misschien hebt gemist alsnog te bekijken. Om ons lichaam te laten ontwaken in de lente, schilderen we onze eigen Tuin der Lusten opnieuw. Een tuin is een droom, de fantasie van een onderdanige natuur. Een waar we ons aan kunnen overgeven zonder levend verslonden te worden. Achter heggen en hekken genieten we veilig van de zon op onze huid, het gezoem van bijen, de geur van warme aarde en mango's die groot en sappig worden. Maar de natuur slaat graag terug naar ons. Elke dom weet dat zijn rol zorgzaam zou moeten zijn, maar als de problemen van de maatschappij als onkruid onze tuinen binnensluipen, is het misschien tijd om de rollen om te draaien, op onze knieën te gaan en een rots of twee te kussen.
EN Porn Film Festival Amsterdam presents at Kissable Screens, a monthly sex-positive program of Cavia. This is a great chance to visit the PFFA selection you might have missed. To awaken our bodies in spring, we repaint our own Garden of Earthly Delights. A garden is a dream, the fantasy of a submissive nature. One we can indulge in without being devoured alive. Behind hedges and fences we safely enjoy the sun on our skins, the humming of bees, the smell of warm soil, and mangoes growing big and juicy. But nature loves to lash back at us. Every dom knows their role should be a caring one, but when society's problems creep into our gardens like weeds, perhaps it’s time to reverse the roles, get on our knees and kiss a rock or two.

Pandemic Exercises
Rafał Żwirek & Aga Szreder | 2020 | Poland | 8’
Pandemic Exercises is just the way to show how things are connected and how much an anthropocentric point of view ignores the power of nature.
Żwirek and Szreder explore the area of post-pornography, focusing mainly on the fields of visual arts and exposing the counter-fictions of mainstream narratives. They organise the Post P_rn Film Festival in Warsaw, of which they are both curators and participants. They presented FROM OPPRESSION TO PLEASURE: a brief history of Polish post-porn art at the Porn Film Festival Amsterdam 2025 at Cavia.
Hoe’s Radish. A desert’s forest tale
Gay Bar Production | 2024 | Poland | 18’
What happens if you wander too far off into the desert's forest? This boy*scout is about to find out. It's a sticky, dark and super sexy fantasy on forest creatures and their magical horse radish. There might be pissing involved.

Biczysko, Buzia (Nasty Organic), Daniela Weiss, Ellie Love, Mii Boreck, Hannah Withlow, Hubert Fiebig each put in a overflowing cauldron fantasies and practices coming from a lived experience of a Bledowska desert temporary community.
Fruity Warming
Said Isaac | 2024 | Panama | 1’
Obsessed with calming their fervor, a person explores sensations of pleasure with mangoes. Each drop of fruit juice brings them closer to their desire to find the perfect fruit.
Juan Said Isaac Zepeda is a Panamanian producer and co-founder of Mente Pública, a production company and educational organization. Since 2014, he has been the director of the National Film Festival of Poor Cinema Panalandia, promoting filmmaking across all levels of Panamanian society.

The Tools of the Master
Ann Antidote | 2024 | Germany / Poland | 8’
The tools of the master will dismantle every and anything we want, if we all do it together. We start here with mastering garden tools, joyfully and jointly dismantling ideas about the playfulness, power, the passing of time and what it does to bodies, and celebrating time as a thing you spend together.
Ann Antidote(no pronouns), brings to existence eclectic artworks centered in inclusive, solidary, queer, consensual, dissident or downright awkward lifeforms and moments. Ann challenges not consciously addressed nor explicitly consented to power structures. Ann examines gender(s), privilege(s), consent, sustainability and accessibility, and thus prefers clear and direct expressions whenever possible, refusing non-consensual interpretations.

Amadalia Liberté | 2022 | Chile | 13’
This piece was born with the sighting of more than 50 starfish stranded on the last rock that separates the sea from the sand. In addition to the obvious similarity between the textures and shapes, this phenomenon inspires a research process on the behavior of starfish in relation to the ways of life that Latin American dissidents adopt to subsist inside this fascist, neoliberal and heteronorm system.
Amadalia takes the analogy of stranding as a dissident collective survival method against a system that violates and censors our existence. Resulting in an audiovisual piece, which mixes corporealities with sounds of aquatic and human nature, which invites the audience to immerse themselves in an erotic sensory experience.
Kissing a Rock
Mariia Lemperk | 2023 | Germany | 4’
Gathering and scattering, kissing and kissing, kissing, kissing, kissing, kissing, weighing, cleaning, rubbing with a metal scrubber, covering in a layer of clear coat nail polish, exhibiting, choosing and repeating. Kissing a Rock is an eco-sexual site-specific performative practice: an intimate date with the nature of the vector-changing matter of an archetypical story.
mariia Lemperk (they, them) is a non-binary interdisciplinary artist/curator with a practice evolved inside of cross-media-research-based projects where they explore memory and body politics. Their recent work focuses on the areas of (un- and)controled pain evironments, collective grieving practice, gender deconstructions and presence of the queer in political and cultural contexts of today.
Phytophilia
Friedrich Kreuz | 2014 | Australia | 18’
