    SCHMUTZ XL: THE BIRTHDAY EDITION

    Lab111, Arie Biemondstraat 111, Amsterdam

    Join Schmutz Cinema and LAB111 in an extra-large birthday celebration of queer intimacy and pleasure in film. For this XL edition, we’re presenting sexy movies, spicy poetry, sensual music, and playful interventions that remind us why pleasure matters.
    The program highlights erotic filmmaking at its most inventive, from playful birthday-themed shorts to eye-opening documentaries and pairings of wine and porn. Schmutz Cinema serves up steamy, queer erotic arthouse with a wink.

    These films don’t just arouse, they experiment with form, question clichĂ©s, and open up conversations about desire, sexuality, and the body.

    Come for the films. Stay for the entertainment!

    The Pleasure Society’s Poetry Slam invites you to bring your dirtiest lines or simply surrender to the power of spoken desire.
    Let your inner pornstar loose at Corn Karaoke
    Learn new tricks during a finger workshop with Mail and Female.
    Listen, reflect, and get a little tipsy at Bar Strangelove with spicy tunes from DJs Cathy, Jack & Eliza.

  4. Equation to an Unknown

    Equation to an Unknown

    By AMFM x PFFA @ Filmhuis Cavia, Amsterdam

    This restored 16mm print, commissioned by filmmaker Yann Gonzalez in 2016 from the original negative, screens now for the first time in Amsterdam, on loan from the CinémathÚque française and Gonzalez himself, who will introduce the film in person. Co-programmed with the Porn Film Festival Amsterdam.

    Équation à un Inconnu is at once a defining moment and an obscure episode of gay erotic cinema. Its director, Francis Savel – an artist who worked largely within the margins of 1970s and 80s French New Wave and adult film production – sets his images to a pulsing synth score. In the film, we follow a young motorcyclist through a series of erotic encounters that circle around desire, memory, and the search for another, the “unknown” of the title. The year that followed would bring the first recorded cases of AIDS, giving Savel’s elegy of bodies an unintended prophetic weight.

  7. Carnage for Christmas

    Filmhuis Cavia, Amsterdam

    Carnage for Christmas

    Filmhuis Cavia, Amsterdam

    Celebrate a queer bloody Christmas with the hilarious, camp horror Carnage for Christmas from Australian trans filmmaker Alice Maio Mackey. When a true crime podcaster returns to her hometown for the first time since transitioning, she discovers that a mysterious urban legend has gone on a killing spree. With her queer group she sets out to investigate.
    Maio Mackey puts her own spin on the long tradition of holiday slashers with the likes of Black Christmas and Silent Night. Only 20 years old when she made this film with a non-existent budget but a wonderfully enthusiastic group of friends, including Vera Drew (director of The People's Joker).
