This year DO NOT DISTURB launches its inaugural film festival: a one-day screening event of short films, promoting political and social liberation via the liberated body in the motion picture.

Liberation concerns more than just libido. It stands not only for agency over our bodies’ pleasure, but over our bodies themselves. We'll reflect on this in two distinct programming blocs:

Streets Bloc: liberation embodied in public life – Examining political & social subjects ranging from reproductive autonomy, LGBTQAI+ rights and protections, justice for sex workers & assault survivors, history of the adult media industry, and any topics championing the free body.

Sheets Bloc: liberation embodied in private life – A celebration of the uncensored, including NSFW animation, DIY/creator-centered indie porno, vintage erotica and blue movies, mature romance, kinky comedies and everything from the experimentally suggestive to explicitly sultry.


DO NOT DISTURB will take place at Tattooed Mom, in the heart of Philadelphia’s South Street—a district defined by counterculture, activism and sex-positive expression, where free minds, voices and bodies converge without constraint.
