SAN FRANCISCO — Pink and White Productions has announced the official slate for the 2022 San Francisco PornFilmFestival, set to be held in-person and virtually on PinkLabel.tv August 24-27.
The in-person screenings will take place at the Brava Theater in San Francisco's historic Mission District.
A rep noted the call for submissions attracted entrees by filmmakers throughout the world and several films by creators in the United States and within the San Francisco Bay Area.
"A collection of over 70 titles span experimental to documentary genres, each pushing the definitions of film that explores topics of sexuality. Attendees can look forward to an enthralling hybrid festival with post-screening filmmaker chats and a vibrant collection of well-crafted and thought-provoking erotic and adult films," the rep said.
This year, Fred Halsted's 1974 "L.A. Plays Itself" will kick off the Online Opening Film Showcase, while Gene Graham's contemporary documentary on Black America through the underground world of exotic dancing in "This One's For the Ladies" will serve as the festival's Closing Night Film.
In between, the sexual history of the Bay Area will be showcased through selections including, "Submission Possible: San Francisco," in which erotic artist Madison Young reunites a community of "sexual luminaries, misfits, artists, kinksters, and activists" such as Annie Sprinkle, Elizabeth Stephens, Midori and Cleo DuBois. "Raw! Uncut! Video!" chronicles the rise and fall of homegrown gay porn studio Palm Drive Video and explores how a devoted couple helped battle a devastating health crisis by promoting kinky sex.
Contemporary Bay Area selections include "Chaac and Yum" by filmmaker Roberto Fatal and performers Xav S-F and Snowflake Calvert (aka Daniel Arizmendi), "L'Ingrediente Principale" by Isis Tatiana Hockenos and Haley Myer, "East Bay Brats 4" by the East Bay Brats, "Transform" by Domina Mara and "Eternal Flame" by duo BeyonDeep.
"Organizers were thrilled to see an increase in submissions by Bay Area filmmakers," noted the rep.
