TQFF’s annual installment of Porn is SO Boring is back!

Why is porn often so prescriptive and predictable, queer porn included? We at TQFF refuse to expect less from porn as a cinematic genre. This short program invites you to get off – and maybe rethink the artistic possibilities of the genre while doing so.

Approximate running time: 83 minutes.
