KURZFILMPROGRAMM: Welcome to Athens - Queer Porn Shorts

Satyrn und Mänaden: Das Athens Porn Film Festival präsentiert eine leckere Auswahl griechischer Kurzfilme – nur für euch. Das Festival wurde 2020 ins Leben gerufen; die ersten beiden Ausgaben fanden ausschließlich online statt, die folgenden fünf im Romantso in Athen. Zu den Zielen des Festivals gehörte es, lokale Talente zu fördern und ihnen einen sicheren Raum für ihre künstlerische Entwicklung und den Austausch zu bieten. Im Jahr 2024 wurde die „Porn Academy“ als Mentor*innenprogramm ins Leben gerufen, um Filmemacher*innen
bei der Umsetzung ihrer Ideen zu begleiten.

Die Kurzfilme haben englische Untertitel oder keinen Dialog.

SO QUIET: THE PERFORMATIVITY OF A PUSSY
Maria Cyber, Greece 2018, 9’, No dialogue
Starring: Greek extrovert pussy
The performativity of a cock is very obvious, but what happens
with the pussy?

PRIMA VISTA

Starring: Viola V, Marilia
Every gaze carries within it the potential for profound understanding.

NEEDS
Miammy, Greece 2025, 13’, No dialogue
Starring: Miammy and Pazuzu xkx
Who would have expected that by simply allowing the body to feel and to
offer pleasure, we might already be one step closer to changing the world?

A NIGHTMARE MATRYOSHKA
The Red Moon Baby, Greece 2024, 6’, No dialogue
Starring: Miammy, Stella
A young adult is called to face her own sexuality within in a dream state, progressively giving in to the voices or, in this case, her hottest sexual
nightmares.

ANTHOS
Maartje Hensen, Jessie Yingying Gong, Greece/Netherlands 2026, 9’,
Original English version with English subtitles
Starring: Jessie Yingying Gong, Vincent Theunissen
In a burned landscape, two bodies lean toward the earth, opening themselves
up to what grows there. Bound, touched and entangled, “anthos” unfolds as a
quiet meditation on regeneration, intimacy, vulnerability and care.

KAVLADA
Ilias HGW, Greece 2025, 3’, Original Greek version
with English subtitles
Starring: Ilias HGW
In a world that insists on keeping us productive and isolated, desire feels
almost out of place. Do we still desire each other? Do we truly connect, or
are we simply replaying fantasies in our own minds?

LEVIDIS
Iris Glitzer, Greece /Germany 2023, 12’, Original Greek version
with English subtitles
Starring: Ju Goma, Iris Glitzer
Queer lust meets the golden era of Greek mainstream cinema in a dialogue
around gender roles and social norms at Villa Levidis.

PETROS BECOMES SPAGHETTI
Sylvia Robyn Gionti, Greece 2024, 3’, Original Greek version
with English subtitles
Starring: Sylvia Robyn Gionti, Hans MoDell
In this film, we learn what happens to the human body when it gets too close
to a black hole. Our astronaut Petros will help us in this demonstration.

CHULICHA
Sonia Patrinou, Greece 2025, 15’, Original Greek version
with English subtitles
Starring: Nas Drima, Filippos Gorgonos
Summer, heat, car washing, loud music and two hotties. Sasa is bored
and sweaty in the middle of the summer with this heatwave while doing
nothing at her house, in a village outside Lamia, Greece.

Present: Menelas Siafakas (Curator)

Satyrs and Maenads: the Athens Porn Film Festival presents a delicious
selection of Greek shorts just for you. The festival started in 2020, with the first two editions being online only and the next five in Romantso in Athens. Part of the objective was to help cultivate local talent and provide a safe space for artistic development and exchange. In 2024 the Porn Academy was established as a tutoring system to guide filmmakers to realise their ideas.

The short films have English subtitles or no dialogue.
