SECS FEST 2021: Festival Pass to the Virtual LiveStream

SECS Fest 2021 will showcase 30 short films and 4 feature films from around the globe, plus an archival double-feature from American Gay Porn director, Fred Halsted. The festival will be both in-person at the Grand Illusion Cinema and live-streamed on September 10 -12. 

SECS Fest aims to bring world-class erotic cinema to Seattle audiences with their annual international film festival by selecting films inclusive of authentic adult sexual expression. Films selected will show a diversity of representations: race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, kink, and body-type; with a strong sex-positive core that has been the mission of SECS Fest since its inception .Attendees can expect to experience a range of film genres, sexual orientations, and sexual activities. Both narrative and documentary films will showcase a variety of interests – fetishes, BDSM, sex work, and more.   

For the first time, Pink and White productions will be at the festival telecasting the entire event. For those unable to attend in person can watch the entire festival online in real-time via PinkLabel.TV’s film festival platform. So double-check the start times of the programs (and time zone) so you won't miss anything. 

Ticket holders will receive an email with access details by noon (PST) September 10 for the festival screenings. 

All festival content will be available to view again on Monday, September 13.
