Kissable Screens: Coming of Age – by Porn Film Festival Amsterdam
June is Pride Month, commemorating the Stonewall uprising. The Stonewall riots began in the early hours of June 28, 1969, when patrons of the Stonewall Inn in New York City's Greenwich Village resisted a police raid, sparking several days of protests. This uprising is widely considered the catalyst for the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement, leading directly to the first Pride march on June 28, 1970. To honour Queer history with celebrations, reflection, and activism, Kissable Screens, a monthly sex-positive screening at Cavia, will feature films that were presented at Porn Film Festival Amsterdam 2026.
Stories of transition. Stories of becoming. This block explores thresholds: the before and after moments that crack something open. Coming of age isn’t bound to youth or tied to outdated ideas of purity, nor to a mainstream porn category or religious initiation. It can happen at any time, in countless forms. These films trace self-discovery, sexual awakenings, escapes from what was, returns to the self and the unstable in-between spaces where identity is still forming.

Zed Sheng | 2025 | USA, Thailand | 5'
Vudhi K, a Thai ASFR practitioner, recounts the process of transformation — and the moment his fetish first took hold. A memory, a primal scene, a mercurial awakening. The drag of a brush against skin blurs the boundary between subject and object, drone and human.
Knots of Self
Laura Ropes | 2025 | Austria | 16'

Feverish
Fabienne Garçonne and Jamal Phoenix | 2025 | Switzerland | 5'

Pillowcore
Nisa East & Rosie Allways | 2025 | Australia | 10'
In the neon grime of a skeezy motel room, a woman arrives with nothing but a suitcase. When her anticipated company never shows, camp collides with kink, bending art into smut and smut into art as she finds her own way to pass the night.
In All the Rooms We Met
Bonaventure Tain | 2024 | Malaysia | 14'
Over the years, a documentary filmmaker and a porn actor met in various rooms, left, and reunited, and now ended up in a room filled with lush greenery, documenting a world where reality and fiction intertwine.
Our Joyful Endings
Lucie Babayan & La fille Renne | 2025 | France | 6'
