UNCENSORED 2026

UNCENSORED was founded in London in 2019 as an interdisciplinary festival exploring the intersections of pornography, sexuality, art, and activism.The festival is at its 5th edition and has brought together filmmakers, artists, performers, sex workers, researchers, activists, and audiences from across the UK and beyond to celebrate freedom of expression while challenging dominant narratives around sex, pleasure, and representation.

Returning for its fifth edition, UNCENSORED presents an expanded programme at Stück and partner venues across London, alongside online screenings on PinkLabel.TV. Across three days in London, audiences can experience film screenings, workshops, panel discussions, performances, installations, and conversations with artists working at the forefront of sex-positive culture and contemporary cinema.

Highlights include two participatory workshops: one led by photographer Adrián Coto, exploring photography as a tool for self-knowledge and uncensored collective storytelling, and a second created by Normies Study Group, culminating in a live performance and body installation on the festival's closing night.

The festival also presents two panel discussions:
Digital Sex in Times of Techno-Fascism, featuring Dr. Carolina Are and invited guests, examines online censorship, digital rights, and the future of sexual expression. The Politics of Pleasure on Screen brings together filmmakers from the International Open Call 2026 to discuss bodies, desire, representation, and the evolving languages of contemporary erotic cinema.

Throughout the festival audiences can also experience The Post Orgasm Lab, an interactive installation by neuroscientist, researcher and breathwork facilitator Lana Porter.
