Shorts Program 6: Le Petit Mort
Co-presented with Porn Film Festival Berlin
Friday 9th February / 23:00 / City Kino Wedding
Le Petit Mort (81 mins)
Co-presented with Porn Film Festival Berlin
We all know sex is adjacent to body horror. The boundaries, limits, and permeability of the human form get thrown into chaos. And on top of that, the vulnerability it entails is also rife breeding ground for psychosexual terror. This program contains films that thematize a macabre approach to sex as well as those which are simply too explicit to fit well with the rest of the program.
We’re happy to have Walter Crasshole of the PFFB to co-present this program.

An isolated young woman uses her vibrator compulsively — until it starts deforming her body in disturbing ways. To regain control and change the way she masturbates, she goes on a journey through a lurid underground of corporate neurologists and orgasm gurus, none of whom seem to have her best interests in mind. Ultimately, there’s little she can do to withstand her vibrator’s eerie influence.
