Kissable Screens, a monthly sex positive sc reening of Cavia, will recall films that were presented at Porn Film Festival Amsterdam 2026. It is a favourable moment to gain a new perspective on Pornogra phy which can be artistic, political, moving, thought-provoking and a cata lyst for self-discovery.

Can you desire someone who isn’t there? Gh osts of the past, people we never met in person, someone who only lives in our memories, frozen in time. Separated from us by oceans, borders, death , break-ups and other foul plot twists of life. How to love them in the fa ce of their silence? Are we still allowed to imagine them naked, continue the conversation, look through the traces they left behind? A smell on our skin, scribbles in the sidelines of a book, a song, a hair, a voice note. Phantom loves we still feel near in their absence.
