Kissable Screens, a monthly sex positive screening of Cavia, will recall films that were presented at Porn Film Festival Amsterdam 2026.
It is a favourable moment to gain a new perspective on Pornography which can be artistic, political, moving, thought-provoking and a catalyst for self-discovery.
Can you desire someone who is not there? Ghosts of the past, people we never met in person, someone who only lives in our memories, frozen in time. Separated from us by oceans, borders, death, break-ups and other foul plot twists of life. How to love them in the face of their silence? Are we still allowed to imagine them naked, continue the conversation, look through the traces they left behind? A smell on our skin, scribbles in the sidelines of a book, a song, a hair, a voice note. Phantom loves we still feel near in their absence.
