2021 San Francisco PornFilmFestival Unveils Official Selections

2021 San Francisco PornFilmFestival Unveils Official Selections

SAN FRANCISCO — Pink and White Productions has announced the official slate for the 2021 San Francisco PornFilmFestival, set to broadcast virtually November 11-28 on PinkLabel.tv.

Additional in-person screenings may be added according to current COVID safety protocols.

“The call for submissions yielded over 200 entrees by filmmakers from over 20 countries including Brazil, Mexico, Taiwan, Japan and locales throughout Europe, in addition to several films by creators in the United States and within the San Francisco Bay Area,” noted a rep.

“Widely represented are films with formats and desires not often available on commercial porn sites, including documentary, animation and experimental genres, and stories depicting people of color, disability and older performers,” the rep continued. “Unsurprisingly, many films address topics of lockdown and isolation amidst COVID-19. Despite a global pause in film production due to COVID, over 70% of the festival’s official selections were released in 2020 and 2021.”

Classic titles set to receive showcase screenings include Radley Metzger’s 1974 bisexual classic “Score”; Arthur J. Bressan Jr.’s recently recovered 1979 film “Forbidden Letters” starring Richard Locke and Robert Adams; the recently rediscovered 1980 French gay erotic film “Equation to An Unknown”; “Safe is Desire” from the landmark lesbian porn studio Fatale Media; and “Box of Laughter” by iconic fetish filmmaker Maria Beatty.

“The festival’s virtual platform launched in 2020 in response to the pandemic, with the aim to provide a safe and accessible option as festivals and venues around the world paused operations,” the rep explained. “Made possible in part to a successful crowdfunding campaign supported by sextech leaders, the festival’s virtual platform has been utilized to host several fellow festivals such as PornFilmFestival Berlin, Seattle Erotic Cinema Festival and CineKink.”

The 2021 San Francisco PornFilmFestival will also include virtual live programs, post-screening filmmaker chats and “a vibrant collection of historic, well-crafted and thought-provoking erotic and adult films.”

PASS to Host Town Hall on Industry Testing

LOS ANGELES — The Performer Availability Screening Service (PASS) will hold an industry town hall Friday morning to address the abrupt departure of Cutting Edge Testing from the PASS system and “discuss the next steps for ensuring safety for performers on set.”

In the wake of the departure of Cutting Edge Testing (CET) from the PASS system, PASS Executive Director Ian O’Brien will host an industry town hall to discuss the next steps for ensuring safety for performers on set.

“There was always inherent conflict between for-profit testing centers and a nonprofit oversight organization like PASS,” said O’Brien “While we’re shocked by the way in which CET withdrew from PASS, it’s an eventuality for which we’ve been planning. We are working with stakeholders to build a stronger version of PASS, which is less beholden to third parties. In the meantime, performers should continue to test with CET, TTS, AIT or other testing centers utilizing PASS Certified testing protocols.”

The two largest testing services for performers, CET and Talent Testing Service (TTS), stopped submitting tests to the PASS database in the past year over disputes related to COVID-19 tests. In June, following new guidance from Cal/OSHA, PASS revised its protocols to allow vaccinated performers to forgo COVID-19 testing in certain circumstances.

“PASS is more than just a database of work clearances,” said O’Brien. “For over a decade, we’ve established the guidelines for safe production and successfully prevented HIV transmission from occurring on PASS sets. As an organization, our commitment will always be to performers’ safety, not profit.”

“In the short-term, we will focus on the certification of additional labs, so that performers have increased options. But a central database is essential to facilitating production, and acting quickly in the case of a production hold. Private for-profit companies have no such obligation and it is imperative that we use this opportunity to establish a lasting framework for performer testing and safety.”

The PASS town hall is open to anyone in the industry and will take place on Friday, July 16 at 11 a.m. (PDT). Registration details will follow.

Pornhub Launches ‘Classic Nudes’ Promo Campaign

NEW YORK — Pornhub announced the launch of “Classic Nudes,” an interactive guide to discover and learn more about erotic art in some of the world’s most famous fine art museums.

The campaign features artwork at the Louvre and the Musée d’Orsay (France), the Metropolitan Museum of Art (U.S.), El Prado (Spain), the Uffizi Gallery (Italy) and the National Gallery (U.K.).

“With museums finally reopening around the world as pandemic restrictions are being lifted, Pornhub wanted to do its part in stimulating the public to visit, explore and fall back in love (or lust) with these cultural institutions,” said a rep.

The public can tour each of the six museums either in person or at home via the Classic Nudes mobile website.

“Simply visit the Classic Nudes website on your device, select your museum, follow the map, locate the artwork, and listen, read, or watch along to its curated content,” the rep explained. “The online portal guides visitors past the SFW masterpieces and gets right to the good stuff: representations of the naked body in all its artistic glory.”

Hungarian-Italian artist and porn performer Cicciolina stars in the promotional video for Classic Nudes. Pornhub Brand Ambassador Asa Akira serves as “orator” for the campaign, providing an “oral history” of 30 erotic art pieces in this curated collection.

Pornhub pro-am couple “MySweetApple” brings six of the iconic artworks to life, including Jan Gossaert’s “Adam and Eve,” Edgar Degas’ “Male Nude,” Gustave Courbet’s “The Origin of the World,” Francisco de Goya’s “The Naked Maja,” Titian’s “Venus of Urbino” and François Boucher’s “The Brunette Odalisque.”.

“There’s a treasure trove of erotic art around the world depicting nudes, orgies, and more that’s not available on Pornhub,” said Akira. “These pre Internet art pieces are currently sitting in museums, which we are now finally able to start visiting again as COVID restrictions are starting to lift. So as people start to head back to the Louvre or the Met, they can simply open Classic Nudes, and I’ll be their guide. Time to ditch those boring self-tour recordings and enjoy every single brushstroke of these erotic masterpieces with me.”

Classic Nudes follows previous art-oriented campaigns from Pornhub including the recently launched “Remastured,” an initiative that used modern A.I technology and machine learning to restore and colorize century-old erotic films.

Previously, the company commissioned contemporary art gallery Maccarone Los Angeles to present a feminist art show entitled ‘The Pleasure Principle,’ a multigenerational, sexually-charged exhibition of female artists “whose work centers the erotic and disrupts the processes of content-cleansing that code certain images as profane, abject, or pornographic,” said the rep.

Pornhub’s “Classic Nudes” campaign is a collaborative initiative with creative agency Officer & Gentleman.
