PaderPorn Filmfestival

We are thrilled that three German cinemas in Leipzig, Braunschweig and Dresden are showing selected films from last year's short film competition as part of AG Kurzfilm's Short Film Day:

Thank you to AG Kurzfilm, the organizers and the amazing filmmakers!

Once the images startet to move, they, along with some expert introductions, made for some truly unforgettable moments. A zoom talk with director Moritz Boerner - just after the wonderful 35mm print of his film CATCH YOUR DREAMS - was just one of the many highlights.

Next stop in our retrospective: The Filmhaus Bielefeld, where we realized a dream and had an all-analogue day. Beloved Lexi, structural backbone and trusted projectionist, had to adapt to unfamiliar equipment and the demands of historic film prints. She did a terrific job! [see comments for more]

We also send our thanks to an amazing audience - both human and beastly - and to the Gewölbe (gwlb) for being gracious hosts to our adventurous endeavors ❤️.

We take pictures! Let's flick through them and look back at this year's festival. Shortly after the opening at the Gewölbe (gwlb) we sat down with Naomi Grützbach, Thorsten Driller, Ecki Steinhoff and Marco Siedelmann in a panel discussion on the topic of faith and sexuality. We thank you all!

We're excited for your films!

Let's celebrate and go to the Black Sheep for some (un)holy psychotronics! First up is our print of the infamous Argentine stag EL SARTORIO (1907-13), and then it's time for SEX DEMON (1975), by far the most incredible gay porn adaptation of THE EXORCIST ever commited to celluloid. Free entry!

We're moving into the next round! Be part of this year's festival and enjoy our international short film competition as well as a curated program centered around the theme of HOLY DESIRES. So save the date and join us in this very special celebration. We believe you will enjoy it!

For anyone who's not in our neck of the woods: You can watch the festival cut of MURDER MYSTERY on @pinklabeltv.bsky.social as well as a two-part extended version on forplayfilms.com.

Delighted to open PorNoir on April 9 with Inka Winter's Hollywood noir hommage MURDER MYSTERY (2019). Afterwards we'll talk about the genre and screen THE DOUBLE EXPOSURE OF HOLLY (1976). It's a noir fest! Thanks to ForPlay Films for their kind support.

Hello PinkLabel.TV,
Thank you so much! We're also on the lookout for other festivals and filmmakers. Very glad you're here already.

April 9: To kick off our new PorNoir series, we're showing THE DOUBLE EXPOSURE OF HOLLY (1976). A cuckolded lawyer, a New York hotel room, small-time crooks, drugs and a heap of surprises populate this dense blend of 'hardboiled' and 'hardcore' with an existentialist edge. See you at the AKKA!

Happy to finally be here. Plans for PaderPorn 2024 are well underway. More info very soon!

The Woman Who Tried to Make Porn Safe for Feminism How the archive of Candida Royalle, a porn star turned pioneering director, landed at Harvard — and inspired a new book challenging the conventional history of the sexual revolution.

Great article on the private archive of Candida Royalle (and a new book about her) that manages to be as nuanced and multifaceted as one could hope for. Amazing photos, too!
