A community-based, non-commercial, radical erotic film festival is seeking submissions!
The Portland Organization for Radical Naughtiness On Film Fest (PORN-OFF) is an opportunity for amateur filmmakers to showcase their erotic films in a private screening event. We are dedicated to challenging the mainstream perspective of porn as commercialized sexuality; we support its creation as a non-commercial art form that empowers us in our bodies and honors the diversity of each person's unique erotic expression. The PORN-OFF welcomes adult participants of all ages, sexual orientations, ethnicities, gender identities, abilities, lifestyles, and backgrounds. We intend to provide a safe space to share and celebrate all kinds of sexuality on film, manifest a supportive community, and have a fabulously delicious time!
We need your help to make this event a success. We are looking for sex-positive individuals, businesses, and organizations to support this festival in many different ways. Only people who are involved in the making of a film or have otherwise supported the event will be invited to the screening, so check out our website, www.porn-off.com and GET INVOLVED!
• Spread the word! Contact us for flyers and more information to share - we need people to submit films not longer than 15 minutes (deadline is the 31st of August).
• Donate! We need donations of prizes and food for the film showing and after-party, space for the film showing and after-party, as well as fundraising parties; money - any small amount helps immensely since we are functioning purely thanks to volunteers and donations.
• Volunteer! Work with the PORN-OFF collective to do promotion or help us organize a fundraiser (in the form of a party or show, or whatever other creative ideas you may have!), help us run projection equipment at the event, set up for the event, clean up after the event.

Limiting erotic explorations solely to film form is itself a demonstration of the extreme pornsickness of our culture that has made how sexy something looks when presented to other people more important than how it actually feels inside our own bodies. People trained on 4-6 hours of television since childhood have an unfortunate overdependence on visuals regarding how they experience sexuality, and moving away from that reliance on one limited sense to reconnect eroticism with tastes, smells, and touches would be a truly radical exploration of sexuality.
