SUMMARY:Kenya + Intro & Performance by Papaya Kuir
DESCRIPTION:Location: Zaal | Times: 21:00-23:00 | Tickets: €7 @ Cinetol \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKENYA (documentary)  \n\n\n\nGisela Delgadillo / Mexico / 2022 / 88′ / Spanish with English subtitles \n\n\n\nAfter witnessing the murder of her friend\, Kenya\, a trans woman sex worker\, embarks on a path of struggle and search for justice that leads her to face the fear and pain of seeing herself reflected in that tragic ending. \n\n\n\ncontent warnings for all films \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIntroduction & Performance by Papaya Kuir  \n\n\n\nPapaya Kuir is an intersectional feminist collective for and by trans and queer Latinx asylum seekers\, refugees and migrants in the Netherlands. Musicians\, performers\, writers and artists. They chose a name that re-introduces the use of the word papaya (slang for female genital tract in several Latin American countries) and Kuir which is a corruption of the word queer\, a nickname with a twist. \n\n\n\nThrough their fundraising campaigns they want to be that bridge that connects human beings in need with those who can provide help. Through their art projects they want to show the world that they are more than just migrants and refugees\, they are also talented people. And through their visibility they want The Netherlands to know that Latinx queers exist and that this country need to look at them too\, that they matter\, that their voices count and must be heard!

SUMMARY:Unsolicited Brick Pick by Cece Monroe
DESCRIPTION:A response to male sexual violence in the digital age. \n\n\n\nFriday 31 March 18:00-23:00 \n\n\n\nSaturday 1 April 12:00-22:00 \n\n\n\nSunday 2 April 12:00-20:30 \n\n\n\nFree  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf flashing your penis is an act of sexual violence\, why are unsolicited “dick pics” so ubiquitous in our society? The disconnect between the body and the image of the body leads to a disconnect between the action of sending a dick pic and the responsibility for this action. This is due\, in large part\, to the tacit social acceptability of “dick pics”\, it seems more acceptable to send a “dick pic” than to flash somebody.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nMasculinity has long been associated with penises. In this way\, sending a “dick pic” can be viewed as a display of masculinity. This displaying of masculinity is frequently done without context\, this causes the receiver of the “dick pic” to be immediately aware of their own objectification by others. Conversations opened with a “dick pic” are an immediate display of violence and objectification; analogous to having a brick thrown through your window. \n\n\n\n\n\nThrough unsolicited Brick Pic\, I explore this disconnect between the physical world and the online world. By printing the “dick pic” onto a physical object\, I bridged the divide between the two worlds: reconnecting the violence of flashing with the sending of a “dick pic” online. \n\n\n\n\n\nA brick is not just a symbol of permanence and strength but also a symbol of oppression and resistance\, especially to the queer community. “According to legend\, it was a piece of brick hurled atpolice officers outside of the Stonewall Inn that sparked the historic uprising.” Using a brick recognises the prevalence of unsolicited (1) dick pics in the queer community. Highlighting this further\, I chose to work with queer models\, all of whom spoke to me about their experiences of receiving unsolicited “dick pics”. \n(1) Smith\, R. (2020) Who threw the first brick at stonewall? A final and definitive answer to the internet’s favourite question\, PinkNews. Available at: (Accessed: November 19\, 2022).\n\n\n\n\nI hope viewers of my work walk away more aware of the subtle forms of sexual violence that are common place in our society.

SUMMARY:sex worker film & art festival 31 March - 2 April 2023
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to queer.red presents: Whorehouse Cinema! \nA brand new sex worker film & arts festival\, serving you our first festival edition between 31 March and April 2nd 2023 at Cinetol in Amsterdam.  \nWe are a collective consisting of (former) sex workers\, feminists\, queer and trans people from all different walks of life and backgrounds and operate under the name of queer.red presents! We organise events in The Netherlands on the topic of sex work and aim to destigmatise sex work trough more nuanced and diverse representation. Our focus is on art created by sex workers which are broader than the usual\, narrow ideas and stereotypes – instead seeking to promote intersectional imagery made with\, by and for with sex worker communities.  \nFor our first festival edition\, we will bring everything to the table\, or better: stage. A sharp selection of films (feature\, short\, documentary\, fiction\, animation) will transport you through a variety of worlds from sex workers’ perspectives. There will be workshops on making erotic content\, an art exhibition adorning the walls of Cinetol\, a VR XtraSexyReality experience (that’s right)\, a Peepshow Hoes performance ín the courtyard and big and juicy pop-up technology driven strip club Striptopia.  \nDuring the festival\, we want those who are most impacted by injustice\, capitalism\, racism\, homo- and transphobia\, to be able to participate in our festival. Therefore some programmes will be free or donation-based. Other than securing the venue\, all funds go directly to the sex worker community and filmmakers including hiring vendors and other support who are current or former sex workers. Also – to be attentive to sex workers’s needs for safe spaces –  some of the workshops will be sex worker only. And finally – where not otherwise noted\, all 18+ are welcome! As the title of our little festival suggests\, there will be some adult content… \nWe hope you will enjoy all of these goodies. Our thanks goes out to the many contributors that have so kindly agreed to showcase their work. Thank you so much! \nSee you at the Whorehouse! \nThe queer.red presents! team \nAlexis\, Aline\, Majk and Plette \ncontent warnings for all films
