The Berlin Porn Film Festival Kicks Off One Week From Today

There was a time, not so long ago, when the only way to see porn was in a movie theater. Home video and the internet have changed the way we watch porn, but back in 2006, The Berlin Porn Film Festival was born as a way to bring lovers of porn together, not just to watch films, but to explore the ways in which art can be stimulating and erotic once again.

Now in its ninth year, the festival kicks off on October 22 and this year it will feature some of the biggest names in the industry bringing their work to the fest. There will even be a discussion about director Lars von Trier's latest film, Nymphomaniac, which further blurred the lines between film and pornography, as well as several workshops. 

The festival also has an open submission policy, so anyone can submit their films for inclusion in the festival, not just people in the industry. There will be something for everyone at this year's fest, so make sure if you're anywhere near Berlin next week, you stop in and check things out.
