Erotic Film Festival London is here to showcase bold, beautifully crafted films that explore desire, intimacy, and human connection. No gimmicks, no awkward labels—just great storytelling that puts pleasure and passion on screen where they belong.
Erotic storytelling has long been sidelined or treated as a curiosity, dismissed or reduced to shock value. Here at EFFL it’s given the creative respect it deserves—because passion, pleasure, and longing are as much a part of life as love, loss, and adventure.
We want your bold, daring, and unforgettable erotic short films—whether they’re hot and steamy, intimate and tender, thought-provoking or tense. Erotic cinema isn’t one-size-fits-all, and we welcome stories in any genre—from documentary to sci-fi, fantasy to kink, animation to experimental. If your film explores desire, connection, or sexuality, we want to see it.
Selected films will be grouped into curated programmes, each offering a different perspective on intimacy, desire, and connection. These intimate screenings will take place in London from 1–5 October 2025, bringing together audiences eager to experience bold and boundary-pushing storytelling.
For filmmakers who can attend, there will be opportunities for Q&As, discussions, and networking, giving both filmmakers and audiences the chance to connect, exchange ideas, and celebrate the art of erotic cinema together.
This isn't just a festival—it's the beginning of a movement that recognises erotic cinema as one of the most vital, under-explored frontiers in contemporary cinema.
