LSFF:Dark Fantasies

Curated and presented by Lover Management’s Helena Whittingham and Harlan Whittingham, Dark Fantasies invites you to revel in fantastical depictions of sexuality and taboo as we explore the use of horror and fantasy in representations of the erotic. Never without complaint, and in some cases with risk of legal prosecution, these films transform the forbidden into roleplay, and the unspeakable into a moan. They challenge society's repressive hold on sexuality and untether themselves from shame. Open a portal into the dark recesses of the erotic mind, and join us at the intersection of the real and the imaginary for an evening of queer, orgiastic, violent delights! El Satario, dir.
