75 minutesAn interactive programme about connecting with your sensuality, feeling yourself, and about not giving a f*ck.
An awkward kiss, an intrusive thought, an embarrassing fantasy, a flopping body part during sex ... We've all been there, right? Right? There are a million and one things that can go 'wrong' when we're trying to flirt, fall in love or being intimate with someone. This programme tries to redefine what perfection is when it comes to our bodies, self-expressions, and sexuality. Let's look in the mirror and see what expectations you set for yourself. What even is a perfect body? What is perfect sex? With In Pursuit of Pleasure Maxi (porn curator and pleasure activist) & Joshua (porn curator and intimacy coach) invite you to embrace silliness, playfulness and curiosity. Join them in an interactive exploration of the joys of not giving a f*ck.

Blush – An Extraordinary Voyage
For 18-year-old Finnish-Kosovan Fatu, a simple visit to the grocery store feels as nerve-racking as a lunar expedition: for the first time in his life, he's wearing full glam makeup in public. Luckily his best friend Rai is there to support him through the voyage. Making full use of stop-motion puppetry, the film shows how no one should be afraid to show their true self. Most of the dialogue in Blush is documentary and was recorded during a real trip to a grocery store.
