June is Pride Month, commemorating the Ston ewall uprising. The Stonewall riots began in the early hours of June 28, 1 969, when patrons of the Stonewall Inn in New York City's Greenwich Villag e resisted a police raid, sparking several days of protests. This uprising is widely considered the catalyst for the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement, leading directly to the first Pride march on June 28, 1970. To honour the Queer history with celebrations, reflection, and activism, Kissable Screen s, a monthly sex positive screening of Cavia, will recall films that were presented at Porn Film Festival Amsterdam 2026. 

Stories of transition. Stories of becoming. This block explores thresholds: the before and after moments that crack something open. Coming of age isn’t bound to youth or tied to outdated ideas of purity, nor to a mainstream porn category or rel igious initiation. It can happen at any time, in countless forms. These fi lms trace self-discovery, sexual awakenings, escapes from what was, return s to the self and the unstable in-between spaces where identity is still f orming.
