SAN FRANCISCO — Pink and White Productions has launched a crowdfunding campaign to support the 2021 San Francisco PornFilmFestival, set to unspool online, and in person at the Brava Theater Center, from November 11-28.
The initial $7,000 fundraising goal will cover "fees to over 90 participating filmmakers and provide professional closed captioning service, among other needs," Festival Director Shine Louise Houston said, with contributor perks to include early bird festival passes, commemorative T-shirts and memberships to PinkLabel.tv.
"The San Francisco PornFilmFestival launched in 2020, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the first public porn screening in the United States — the San Francisco Erotic Film Festival in 1970," explained a rep. "Due to COVID-19, the premiere was completely virtual, thanks in part to a crowdfunding campaign that ultimately raised over $11,000 to support the cost of building an in-house livestream platform."
"This year the event will return as a hybrid in-person and online festival, with two days of theater program simulcast live to virtual festival attendees, followed by more online programs and on-demand videos," the rep continued. "Theater programs will adhere to COVID safety guidelines in accordance with the State of California and the Brava Theater Center. Online programs will offer a safe and accessible event for viewers tuning in from around the world."
