PinkLabel.tv, Toronto Queer Film Fest Partner for Virtual Screening

SAN FRANCISCO — Pink & White Productions has partnered with the 2021 Toronto Queer Film Festival (TQFF) for a one-night-only special event titled "Porn is So Boring" to stream Saturday, March 27, at 6 p.m. (PDT) on PinkLabel.tv.

The night's program is free to members of PinkLabel+ or with an event pass purchased through TQFF and will feature 11 films from Brazil, Canada, Germany, India, Spain and the United States curated, a rep explained, through a BIPOC workshop held by TQFF last summer.

In the wake of the pandemic lockdowns, PinkLabel.tv swiftly built out its platform when indie film festivals began to explore virtual presentations, and partnered with the San Francisco and Berlin PornFilmFestivals, the Athens Porn Film Festival, Cinekink 2020 and San Francisco's Folsom Street Fair, among others.

The platform rep described TQFF as "a collectively-run, artist-centered, not-for-profit festival that showcases contemporary, innovative, queer and trans film and video art with a goal to create space for queer and trans filmmakers and audiences to come together in the spirit of art and activism."

The official selections are:

  • "Bodies of Desire" (Varsha Panikar & Saad Nawab, 2020, India)
    Using Varsha Panikar’s poetry series by the same name as the point of departure, “Bodies of Desire” is a visual poetry film that captures four sets of lovers amid who passionately create a portrait of tender intimacy and profound companionship.
  • "Paani" (Priya “Pree” Rehal, 2020, Canada)
    Paani (“water” in Punjabi) is a short confessional film about the filmmaker’s complicated relationship with their disabled, brown, queer and trans body. It is their second short film.
  • "Moxa Willngan Tastes Really Good" (Vanessa Dion Fletcher, 2020, Canada)
    A summer afternoon is filled with kaleidoscopic strawberries, deep breaths and soft moans. There are no words in this video; there are subtle sounds [include] rain and the dishwasher.
  • "Cannibal" (Augusto Bitter, 2020, Canada)
    "Cannibal" is a short love letter to food, land, water, sex, a hot summer and brown skin. Inspired by Gloria E. Anzaldúa's poem "The Cannibal's Canción."
  • "Lonely in Quarantine" (Beeta, 2020, Canada)
    In the solitary setting of her bedroom, a woman muses on touch and kink during quarantine times. Equal parts mundane and fantasy, she explores her experience of pandemic-induced isolation in a conversation with the viewer.
  • "What You Didn’t Steal From Me" (Kitty Rode, 2020, Canada)
    “What You Didn’t Steal From Me” is a tender snapshot of the director’s struggle with self-acceptance. Through rope bondage, they are rediscovering their sexuality after trauma and finding a home in their fat, disabled and brown body.
  • "Shark Skin Fine" (Dev Ramsawakh, 2020, Canada)
    "Shark Skin Fine" is an experimental, erotic self-portrait that explores the artist's relationship to trauma and intimacy through an analogy of an under-appreciated trait of a shark.
  • "DIYSEX (Do It Your Sex)" (Maria Lorente, Juno Álvarez, Yaiza de Lamo, Mariona Vázquez, 2019, Spain)
    A challenging yet spellbinding exploration of the seductive landscape of pornography.
  • "Mountain Lodge" (Jordan Wong, 2020, USA)
    The candle, the myth, the legend: Mountain Lodge. Absolutely the horniest film about a candle you will ever see.
  • "Submerge" (Ena Lind, 2020, Germany)
    Outside, it was a hot summer afternoon. Inside the factory, two lovers are washed in cool blue light. One asks the questions, sharp but always with deep connection; the other answers when she can. Submerge is one of the million chapters of a queer BDSM love story.
  • "Bestiary" (Benedito Ferreira, 2020, Brazil)
    “Beastiary” offers the ultimate performance of adorned booty shaking. Sexy, hilarious, and mesmerizing, this short is not to be missed.
