What happens when a queer sex worker collective is invited to curate a collection of porn shorts created by trans and non-binary sex workers? We invite you to come explore your ideas about porn, the sex work industry and body norms. A q&a will follow after the screening with some of the filmmakers from the NL-produced films. These were part of the Down & Dirty DIY workshop that was held with a group of Dutch-based sex workers who came together over a month-long workshop to produce queer porn. Their works premiered during a sold-out screening at the Porn Film Festival Amsterdam last February. This whore-y fantasy was dreamed up by queer sex workers Mercy and Vivi and was sponsored by queer.red; a Dutch-based group of (former) sex workers, feminists, queer and trans people who organise events on the topic of sex work with the aim to destigmatise sex work through more nuanced and diverse representations. 

Total Duration: 72 mins

Babygurl’s Big Birthday Bang (Mahx Capacity, 2022, USA, 13’, English)

Manon Praline is turning 40 and for her birthday, her sweet and sadistic Leather Family planned a very special celebration. Seven eager tops await their precious babygurl–eager to devour her like cake with their hands, mouths, tools, and toys. Manon thanks her family profusely as they each take their turn wishing her a very happy birthday.

Switch for Daddy (Mahx Capacity, 2023, USA, 17’, English)

Leather Daddy Mahx Capacity puts Bishop Black through their paces

Leather lovers Bishop and Mahx are ravenous for each other in this electric Berlin rendezvous. A steamy makeout ends with Bishop’s legs up in the air, and Mahx can’t help but feast on this gorgeous slut. Bishop slides down on Mahx’s strap, riding their daddy before dutifully returning the favor. Taking turns sucking, licking, riding, and cumming all over each other, Mahx and Bishop make switching absolutely indulgent.

Mistress, I’m Hungry (Mercy St. James, NL, 2024, 9’, English)

Discover queer, sex worker joy through the senses sight, sound and, most importantly, taste. This short will leave you in knots, dripping, and hungry for more as one lucky whore not only gets served a face-full of a feast from their mistress, but an extra-sweet and surprise second round.

Shoes Your Weapon (Vivi Stone, NL, 2024, 9’, English)

Three sex workers are seeking pleasers that can meet their high standards…and the Van der Soles, a family of secret foot fetishists in Amsterdam’s Red Light District, have been sewing the weapons of resistance into the soles of window workers’ shoes for centuries. But will the worker’s favourite heels pass the durability test? Shoes your weapon, and find out!

Elemental (Jude and Sensual Nova, NL, 2024, 11’, English)

A kinky journey through the four elements, earth, water, metal, and fire, Elemental is an aesthetic experiment in what happens when the flesh meets each. But don’t be fooled as if it were just for looks: prepare your body to feel the whip of tree branches, the rush of wetness, the cool of metal in sensitive places, and drip of hot wax across your skin. Even from the theater seat, Elemental turns porn into an elaborate sensation play!

Fuck you, Pay Me! (Mercy St. James, NL, 8’, English)

Two Amsterdam window workers are rudely interrupted by the ugliest sight imaginable, The Mayor’s Erotic Prison: a building where the evil city government wants to lock away sex workers for good! Luckily their domme friend knows the perfect solution: just sit on it! Fuck You, Pay Me! is the ultimate form of the body(and butts, specifically) as a powerful tool of resistance against the oppression of sex workers everywhere!
