Late Night Love

Festival
PÖFF Shorts 2024
Programme
Shorts Alternatives

Welcome to the world of adventurous lovemaking, where mayonnaise has its own claims to love fame with vegetables and -of course, people. Stories of love acts tested and tried, straight and queer, guilt-free and guilt-ladden parade the characters' rooms, external spaces, and the windmills of their mind. Repressed desires cause unease, and modern paid love rituals prove to be different from what they sell. Old-time intimacy is sought even in the kinkiest practices, and solo pleasure claims its right. The Late Night Love shorts offer a closer look at our many ways to connect erotically to the other; they do it with open curiosity, diligent observation, and a good measure of fun.
