Workshop | Objectification

An intensive workshop with Normies Study Group

with Matilde Flor Usinger & Ruben R

Following presentations in Prague, Berlin, Barcelona, and Copenhagen, Normies Study Group brings its acclaimed research methodology to UNCENSORED Festival for a one-day intensive workshop. Challenging conventional ideas of objectification, the workshop explores it as an embodied, relational practice rooted in care, desire, consent, power, vulnerability, and play.

Through movement, touch, sound, collective composition, and embodied exercises, participants will investigate intimacy as an artistic methodology while developing practical tools that can be applied to performance, artistic practice, and collaborative creation.

Open to artists, performers, researchers, and anyone curious about embodied experimentation, no previous performance experience is required. The workshop functions as both a research space and a rehearsal process, with participants collaboratively generating the material for a live performance and body installation that will premiere as the closing event of UNCENSORED Festival 2026 on 11 July.

Please note: This workshop contains nudity and explicit artistic content and is intended for participants aged 18 and over.

Workshop capacity: 20 participants

19:00–20:45

FILM PROGRAMME

Butch4Butch: Dating tutorial for beginners

Director: Shari Berlin
Running Time: 06:14
Synopsis:
This playful film explores the world of butch-for-butch attraction, which is often overlooked in both mainstream media and pornography. Performers Mika Diva and Max Jinjer show viewers the flirtations, codes, and irresistible pull between butches. With humor and tenderness, the film offers a vision of butch intimacy and connection from within the community, without needing to explain or define it.

Missionary Service

Director: Robin Astera
Running Time: 14:16
Synopsis:
Are two bishops one too many? Or just right? A funny, hot, and (very) homosexually queer film about what can happen when you just open the door... and can't close it again.

Y2KAGE

Director: Jazzy Boho
Running Time: 7:52
Synopsis:
What is a virtual pet in an age of mass surveillance? Get jacked out of the Y2KAGE in Jazzy Boho's Erotic Hauntology, a dazzling genre-bending allegory for sexual autonomy in America’s post-9/11 security state—an unforgettable, neon-dripping fever dream of cybersex, Tamagotchis, Bush-era surveillance, and the ghosts of a millennium that never arrived.

Slutty Guns & Dirty Boots

Director: Mona Servo & Nour Beetch
Running Time: 19:44
Synopsis:
Two lovers, one road, no way back. Looking for the dyke arm wrestling contest. On the run for the time of their lives. Soon, they’ll cross paths with a fugitive hitchhiker, a name whispered like a curse, "the Leather Fury".

Metal Workshop

Director: Vivi Stone
Running Time: 06:46
Synopsis:
Vivi puts a personal ad in a fetish mag, looking for adventure in San Francisco. She and Mx. Mayhem met for a hot anonymous encounter, but in a town this small, they were destined to awkwardly run into each other at the local queer bar

The Uptown

Director: Nova Lov
Running Time: 10:37
Synopsis:
An ode to punk T4T & Slut4Slut love. Violente Violette interrupts Leocash forging BDSM tools, but control shifts when they realize he's not the only one with power in his toolbox.

I Want You to Write a Novel in My Eye

Director: Marc Blackie
Running Time: 07:00
Synopsis:
This freeform film project began life as an imagined conversation between an adult performer and her assumed audience member, reuniting Blackie with Icelandic pornstar Tindra Frost. As well as the new material, the film also includes footage from actual adult content the pair had been commissioned to produce at the same location a decade earlier and was shot on VHS, several phones, contemporary camera equipment and vintage lenses.

Lupae x Hardwerk

Director: Paulita Pappel
Running Time: 04:37
Synopsis:
Opulence meets contemporary edge in this provocative and visually stunning collaboration between avant-garde latex designer Lupae and the renowned hardcore studio HardWerk, heightened by an exclusive, pulsating soundtrack by DJ Fuck Off. This is an exploration of erotic art, a celebration of human desire, and a tribute to the enduring allure of historical decadence.

The stage of flash

Director: Alessandro Amaducci
Running Time: 07:30
Synopsis:
Long ago, sexuality, eroticism and pleasure were declared illegal. A resistance movement was created that made digital films to recover the memory of lost senses. They circulated in secret; most were discovered and destroyed, and their authors eliminated. A small archive survived in the form of partially restored fragments. These films represent the survival of the concept of eroticism and humanity, a testimony to a very dark period in our history.

Cumrags

Director: Bunnydrome Studios
Running Time: 16:25
Synopsis:
Two best friends move through Berlin’s darkrooms, finding closeness and freedom in the shadows — where rules vanish, and people become meat. CUMRAGS tells the story of what really happens in these spaces everyone loves to imagine, but very few people experience.

21:15–22:30

Panel Discussion | The Politics of Pleasure on Screen 02

Representing Bodies, Desire & Intimacy in Contemporary Cinema

with filmmakers from the International Open Call 2026 | Uncensored Narratives

Mona Sevo & Nour Beech, Shari Berlin and Mariano

Moderated by Lidia Ravviso & Emily Horn

This year, UNCENSORED Festival expands its International Open Call beyond explicit cinema, embracing films that explore intimacy in all its forms. At the same time, contemporary cinema is increasingly engaging with themes long explored by sex-positive, erotic filmmaking and pornography—from pleasure and desire to consent, body autonomy, disability, queer relationships, and diverse expressions of human connection.

Bringing together filmmakers from this year's International Open Call, this panel explores how contemporary cinema is reshaping the representation of bodies, pleasure, desire, intimacy, and sexuality on screen across both explicit and non-explicit filmmaking. Drawing on the festival's selected films, the conversation will examine diverse perspectives on intimacy, queer, trans & feminist gazes, body politics, consent, censorship, ethics, authorship, and the evolving cinematic languages through which intimacy is represented today. Together, the panel reflects on how filmmakers are challenging conventional narratives, expanding the possibilities of representation, and redefining what intimacy can look like on screen.

The panel will be co-moderated by Lidia Ravviso and Emily Horn. Lidia is the founder and co-director of UNCENSORED Festival, co-programmer of the London Fetish Film Festival, multi-award-winning film director working in adult cinema, Intimacy Coordinator, and Head of Cultural Programme at Stück.

Emily is a PhD student based in Liverpool, with a background in producing arts festivals and events. Her PhD research focusses on contemporary porn as a site of artistic expression, activism and community building. Emily has joined the Uncensored team for the first time this year, working on communications, promotion and volunteer coordination.
