SEX-POSITIVE
Kissable Screens: (W/HOLE)
By AORTA films & The A.O. Movement Collective
Mahx Capacity | 2019 | USA | 107' | EN subs
EN Kissable Screens turns 1 year old this month. We are blessed to have a monthly sex-positive programme at Filmhuis Cavia and it has often been full house. On February 8-11, Kissable Screens programmers will launch the Porn Film Festival Amsterdam. To stir up the lush, sincere, erotic, joyful, and intense festive vibes, we'll screen queer/feminist porn collective AORTA's feature length film (W/HOLE) in January.
(W/HOLE) is made in collaboration with performance company The A.O. Movement Collective, exploring the incredible potency of queer hedonism, specifically how the authentic performativity of kink and queer porn can evolve trauma into orgasm, and grief into politically radical, transformative, body-based joy. This work aims to negotiate pornographic embodiment as an anti-oppressive, trans-inclusive feminist practice rooted in femme caretaking and risk, and contextualizes itself as a choreographic process. (W/HOLE) investigates the complexity of pleasure, exploring the so-called obscenity of bodies in their most tremendous capacity—their glorious, illicit humanity.

Azart – Come Make Art + Q&A
Masha Novikova & Annike Kaljouw | 2023 | 83' | EN subs
NL Deze documentaire vertelt over de kleurrijke en vrolijke geschiedenis van het Amsterdamse narrenschip Azart, ofwel Ship of Fools, dat ruim 30 jaar over de wereld voer om theater, vreugde en dwaasheid te brengen. Met aan het roer de bedenker van dit varend kunstwerk: kapitein en acteur August Dirks, die ruim 30 jaar op de Azart woonde en werkte. Het Amsterdamse Azartplein is genoemd naar deze zottenschuit. Kapitein August wilde de VOC-route varen, zei hij, maar dan wel op een andere manier. “Niet om te stelen en te kelen, maar om te spelen en te delen.” Inmiddels gestrand – letterlijk – op een Zuid-Amerikaans strandje, waar het wonderlijke verhaal nog altijd verder gaat, onder leiding van een lokale theatergroep.
Na de vertoning zal er een Q&A plaatsvinden met de makers van de film, met kans op aanwezigheid van August. Het fotoboek AZART De Blauwe Schuit, filmposters en meer zullen deze avond te koop zijn.
EN This documentary tells about the colorful and cheerful history of the Amsterdam Ship of Fools, which sailed around the world for more than 30 years to bring theatre, joy and folly. At the helm is the creator of this sailing work of art: captain and actor August Dirks, who lived and worked on the Azart for more than 30 years. Amsterdam's Azartplein is named after this fool's boat. Captain August wanted to sail the VOC route, he said, but in a different way. “Not to steal and kill, but to play and share.” Now stranded – literally – on a South American beach, where the wonderful story continues, led by a local theater group.
After the screening, a Q&A with the makers of the film will take place, with chances of having the presence of August. The photo book AZART De Blauwe Schuit, film posters and more will be for sale this evening.
