Poles of Pleasure #2 (BDSM)

Strategies of telling stories about pleasure that include ‘borderline experiences’ invariably enjoy great interest of festival goers. Thanks to the support of Fetish Chateau, you’ll have a chance to enjoy them in two independent sections exploring the limits of sexual pleasure. In these sections we present films created on the independent and artistic BDSM scene, which enjoys increasingly bold presence of queer artists who expand the visual code of this kind of practice and expand the ways of interpreting it, often creating works of entirely new quality even if it remains firmly anchored in the broad field of “bondage – discipline – sadism – masochism.” Poles of Pleasure (BDSM) 2 consists of slightly longer films that expand the narratives of domination/submission into individual stories. Polish festival goers will certainly be pleased with the premiere of “Poliż kink” (Tomek Rustecki) – a long-awaited film about the Polish BDSM environment. In this section, you can also see the widely discussed “My Element Water” (Swen Brandy) – one of the most interesting recent films that explores the subject of waterboarding in an extremely sensitive manner.
