Porn Film Festival: Fuck Culture, Descriptive

The Porn Film Festival Vienna has analysed sex, gender, and politics through a pornographic lens for over three years. In an increasingly hybrid and fragmented world, it is a commonplace that we constantly need to renegotiate the politics of our bodies, sexualities, and pornography. This year we are focusing on the three main themes of the festival, the questions: “What is Porn?”, “What is Shame?” and “What is Sex?”. The result can be seen in our hands-on, real-world exhibition.

But in a more and more hybrid world, where digital and physical worlds meet, the shape of sex, gender, pornography, and politics is renegotiated in the virtual and physical day-to-day interactions. Forums like Pornhub, Grindr, Tinder, even a lot of computer games, are a significant gateway to experience and perform sexuality and ultimately (re)create power structures. We cannot not talk about them, to paraphrase McLuhan, because we would neglect a big chunk of the sexualities of the 21st century. Alas, this year’s festival will come with an additional online update. We created a MOZILLA HUB for the PFFV! A virtual exhibition space! Let the bright light of post porn politics shine on all the dark unspoken corners of the internet!
