London Fetish Film Festival returns for its seventh year, unleashing a fearless programme of international cinema that dives deep into kink, fetish, BDSM, desire, psychology, and sexual liberation – without shame and with uncompromising cinematic quality.
From arthouse to explicit, tender to transgressive, LFFF celebrates bold films that challenge censorship, shatter taboos, and explore fetish culture as lived experience, art form, and radical expression. Expect provocative documentaries, boundary-pushing fiction, animation, and intimate insights from inside the scene.
For the lifestyle fetishists.
For the curious and open-minded.
This February, join LFFF at The Arzner LGBTQIA+ Cinema for a fundraiser screening and Q&A of Pillion; a launch party with HOWL Worldwide alongside an exclusive screening and Q&A of Bruce LaBruce’s The Visitor; plus another two days of freshly curated experimental works, shorts, and features.

Sex in Colour: Kinky and Loving:
KINKY AND LOVING IT is an empowering documentary highlighting the transformative potential of reclamation. Celebrating how Black folks reclaim agency over their desires, bodies, and identities, KINKY AND LOVING IT is a liberating journey into the transformative power of radical acceptance, reclamation, and love within Black kink.
“Bob Wingate and Lee Clauss, former publishers of the legendary Bound & Gagged magazine, open the archive and the floodgates in this richly layered excavation of queer kink, media history, and erotic resistance. Set against the backdrop of the Leather Archives & Museum in Chicago, this candid portrait splices salacious nostalgia with radical politics, tracing decades of defiant desire, artistic transgression, and unapologetic love. A necessary tribute to two aging icons of the underground.” (CUFF32)

A BODY TO LIVE IN (1hr 38mins) is a feature film that traces the life and work of legendary photographer, performer, and “Gender Flex” cultural icon, Fakir Musafar (1930-2018). Through investigating the body modification movement and the trajectory of Fakir’s art career and philosophy, A BODY TO LIVE IN uncovers a riveting facet of queer history. Using Fakir’s early experiments in body play and his photographic works from the 1940s and 50s as a springboard, the film traces the body modification movement as it emerged in LGBT subculture in the early 1970s. The film introduces us to early collaborative experimentation at gay underground BDSM parties, leading to the first piercing shop, moving through the radical faerie movement and the role of body modification during the AIDS epidemic, the emergence of body-based performance art, and the rise of an entire subculture. Insights from key figures including Annie Sprinkle, Ron Athey, Idexa Stern, Jim Ward, Midori, and others provoke deeper reflections about art making, surviving AIDS, and the controversial collaging of various spiritual and cultural practices to build a philosophy. Captured in static 16mm film portraits, A BODY TO LIVE IN unfolds conversationally between Fakir’s archive of 100+ hours of unseen footage, and the voices of the canonical elders of this movement, to create intergenerational dialog, question cultural responsibility, and provoke larger ideas about the drive to transcend the limits of the body.
Alongside this, 2024 Award Winners: Best Performer + Best Cinematography + Festival Director’s Choice Subspace and Best Art Direction The Architect.
