Télétravail du sexe (Remote Sex Work) + Q&A with the Filmmakers

Location: Zaal | Times: 17:15-19:00 | Tickets €11,25 @ Cinetol

Carmina & Prune | France | 2024 | 73 min | French with English subs

A compelling documentary led by online sex workers, giving us an intimate peek into their daily lives and guiding us behind the scenes. It demonstrates that adult platforms are not only a workplace but also a space of creativity and self-expression, in which many individuals thrive and develop new skills. This challenges the audience’s preconceived ideas and gives them a better understanding of this industry.

With the emergence of new subscription-based adult platforms like OnlyFans or MYM, it has become easier to create and sell adult content from a simple computer or smartphone. This content can range from the most ‘soft’ erotic nude photos to the most explicit pornographic videos. “Télétravail du sexe” (“Remote Sex Work”) is a documentary that gives a voice to online sex workers by following them in their daily lives, thus showing the behind-the-scenes reality. It reveals that adult platforms can be a space for creativity and body expression, where many people thrive daily and develop new professional skills that go far beyond what the general public imagines.

Whether one has chosen this profession out of passion or convenience, sex telework, like many other solitary and independent jobs, comes with its own joys and successes, and empowerment… But also with burnout, isolation, and alienation due to the judgment of others, performance and financial pressure — which is further reinforced by the stigma and censorship experienced on the Internet.

Location: Grote Zaal | Times: 15:00-16:45 | Tickets: €11,25 @ Cinetol

Raúl Vidales Bohórquez | Colombia, 2022, 92 minutes | Spanish with English subs

A hybrid feature film that blends documentary with fiction and approaches cinema as a ritual of symbolic transformation in the death experience of seven transwomen. The film’s testimonies, along with surreal and fantastic scenes, come together to narrate death viewed from different angles: as related to transfeminicides and as social death that seeks to nullify through exclusion and silence those seen as uncomfortable by others. The film also deals with the multiple deaths that we experience in life; death that speaks of resignations, of forgetfulness, of separations, of changes. “Every Time I Die” is an invitation to shake off mourning through delirious weeping or through sagacious bursts of laughter, with the aim of seeing death through the eyes of those who radiate life, celebrate life, and struggle for life.

Longue Vie Aux Putes (Hurrah the Whores!)

Alya Kara | France | 2023 | 45 min | French with English subs

A closed encounter with a stigmatised community, constantly pushed to the margins: independent sex workers. 

This invisibilised community, forced to live hidden because they are not wanted in this society. For them, getting together is more than necessary, it is a matter of survival.

This film has mention of sexual violence and suicide.

4 SEASONS BROTHEL 

Kiddo Leone | Belgium | 2024 | 30 min | French with English subs

As a sex worker, fighting against invisibility is a daily struggle. A longing for witness has impulsed this movie to turn into a kaleidoscopic documentary-vlog. Here’s four sex workers journey from their prep rituals to their after work rituals, passing through their way to work and a work session. 

They testify about their different experiences of coming in, coming out, outing and professional retraining as sex workers. Their multiple experiences are also intertwined with queer and so called non-conform identity. Made with beloved colleagues and a client, four seasons Vivaldi music, to weave a micro archive and constellation of our bright existences.

Solo

Andrés Valenzuela Arellano | Chile | 2025 | 63 min | Spanish with English subs

SOLO invites us into the world of Ed, an erotic performer from Chile. Under an explosion of neon lights and desire, Andrés Valenzuela Arellano weaves fluidity and explicit intimacy into an expanded experience. More than cinema, it’s an invitation to break taboos and push boundaries.

SOLO delves into the life and work of Edandress, a Chilean performer and erotic content creator, as they embark on a journey through pivotal milestones. From their childhood and adolescence in Melipilla to their beginnings in the erotic industry, the film, directed by Andrés Valenzuela and produced by Cinéculo, embodies the metaphor of dilation as the protagonist opens their personal space to the camera. It tackles themes like consent while revealing the essence of pleasure in everyday life: breaking free from a repressive, guilt-driven society and experiencing absolute freedom by embracing exploration.

Tove Pils | Sweden | 2023 | 95 min | English

Hanna leaves her family and her girlfriend behind to go to San Francisco. She dreams of exploring her sexuality way beyond what is possible in her small Swedish hometown. At a party in San Francisco she gets to know two experienced sex workers: Chloe, a professional domina with dreams of a better life and Cyd, a playful and shameless escort, selling sex to gay men.

Together with them Hanna embarks on a journey. For the first time in her life she starts to feel like she could belong somewhere. But staying in San Francisco is expensive. To be able to remain in the city Hannah wants to try sex work herself and starts working with Chloe.

Chloe and Cyd are at a different part of their journey, wanting to create more stable lives for themselves in a city that is rapidly gentrifying. There are both ups and downs to sex work for all of them and while Hanna is beginning to live the life she’s been dreaming of, there is something looming at the horizon.

Hanna’s new way of life doesn’t align with the values of her loved ones back in Sweden. But maybe her girlfriend will understand Hanna’s choices better after she comes to visit? And maybe if Hanna dares to be open to her parents they would actually become closer?

queer.red presents! Kenya

26 July, 2023 @ 17:00 19:00 CEST

queer.red is proud to join forces with Queer Amsterdam to kick off the first week of Queer & Pride 2023. From July 22nd until July 28th, the city will showcase queer- and transness in all its shapes and sizes, in all its colors and shades of diversity. During Pride celebrations we often we lose sight of the hardships within our communities. With Kenya, we want to give space to some of the shades that the rainbow casts on us. For some of us this means tragic endings, while for others it means to fight, be loud, become empowered. 

Kenya
