The film feature and series of shorts takes you on a journey - starting with a look at how fetish in film takes on a unique artform. We flash back to the very beginning of fetish film and how it has influenced the early kink scene, and how it inspired many other fetish/kink film makers. We then take a peek at how these original ideas have shaped today's kink play, events, and most of the fetish photography you see on social media today.

The Man Who Perceives All - produced by Emre Busse and Recon. In his provocative new work of existential science fiction, Emre Busse invites his audience to question the meaning of "the gaze" as part of the post-human experience by replacing the eyes on the face with the orifice. This jarring visual and switch from the literal to the metaphorical leaves the protagonist to redefine his own human desires while reinventing his new self. In this new, surreal world of customising sexual desires, one is left to question why they have been programmed to accept the bare minimum of their deepest desires in the first place!

OUR FEATURE FILM - 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.
Legendary leatherman Jack Fritscher met Mark Hemry in 1979 at Harvey Milk's birthday party – and the two fell head over heels in love. When the AIDS epidemic swept through San Francisco, the couple left the city to begin a new venture: turning a rural ranch in Sonoma County into a safe-sex porn studio that offered viewers new sexual possibilities in an age of plague. Casting rugged non-professional models to explore their unique erotic fantasies onscreen, the studio explored a wild array of queer kinks – and helped champion sex- positivity in the porn industry.

DIRTY GLITTER (Film Shorts) - Aron Kantor's award winning shorts have been presented in over 80 film festivals worldwide. He's committed to telling stories that centre queer experience, queer lives and queer characters - exploring themes of queer dynamics, sexuality and gender identity through a lens of absurdity and dark humour.
