Behind Desire Film Screening ft Max Disgrace - CANCELLED

Behind Desire Festival is a celebration of sex workers, survivors and sexual minorities. In this evening of film screenings, we're travelling around the world exploring the works of individuals and commuities engaged in the work of sexual liberation and pleasure activism. These are films made for and by all of us who have ever felt like an outsider. Above all, however, these are films of passion, joy and - to be quite frank - more than just a little sexy!

With offerings from the UK, Germany, Mexico, Cuba and the USA, Behind Desire brings together a global community of artists driven by their own personal desires and passion for sexual liberation, political freedom and bodily autonomy. This is not one to be missed.

As if that wasn't enough we will be screening the wonderful smut of Max Disgrace, esteemed pornographer and pervert extrordinaire. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Disgrace, where we probe his deviant mind into his creative journey and (not so) private passions.

Max Disgrace (BAFTA crew x BFI Network) is an award winning Film Director, film festival programmer and proud trans-masculine pervert.
 

Disgrace’s short film “Ruptured” premiered this year on 4:3 Boiler Room and his previous shorts “Tribute” and “Crystal Clear” were featured at BFI Flare London (2020, 2019). “Crystal Clear” was exhibited at Tate Modern during his artist talk “Defiant Dykes: Luscious and Agitating” (2017). Last year Disgrace was awarded the Wahala Film Fund grant – a completion fund for Queer, Transgender and Intersex People of Colour filmmakers in UK, Europe and the Global South – for “Ruptured.” 
 

Disgrace programmed and co-organised the London Porn Film Festival between 2018-2020, an independent non-profit, queer sexuality festival which started in resistance to repressive censorship laws – including the Audiovisual Media Services Regulations 2014. 

More filmmakers to be announced momentarily...
