Erotic Film Festival London is here to showcase bold, beautifully crafted films that explore desire, intimacy, and human connection. No gimmicks, no awkward labels—just great storytelling that puts pleasure and passion on screen where they belong.

Erotic storytelling has long been sidelined or treated as a curiosity, dismissed or reduced to shock value. Here at EFFL it’s given the creative respect it deserves—because passion, pleasure, and longing are as much a part of life as love, loss, and adventure.


We want your bold, daring, and unforgettable erotic short films—whether they’re hot and steamy, intimate and tender, thought-provoking or tense. Erotic cinema isn’t one-size-fits-all, and we welcome stories in any genre—from documentary to sci-fi, fantasy to kink, animation [...]

V Festival Americano de Cinema Socioambiental

A degradação ambiental e social começa a preocupar a humanidade como um todo. Isso porque a busca por um lucro rápido e fácil gera tal degradação, afetando a coletividade em geral, forçando a cada um de nós a adotar mudanças de atitude, para que, dessa forma, possamos garantir a nossa própria sobrevivência no Planeta.

Os problemas decorrentes da ação negativa do homem sobre a natureza têm sido objeto do olhar não só do Poder Público, mas também da sociedade civil organizada, além de ter se transformado em fonte de inspiração para artistas que almejam registrar e denunciar a deterioração do ser humano e da natureza. Sendo assim, o cinema e o vídeo [...]
