THRESHOLD by Ben Berlin
LEVIDIS by Iris Glitzer
INSIDE OUT by Manon Praline
THE FARMER’S DAUGHTER by Cat Gold
Paraphrasing the name of one of the creative collectives featured in this edition of HPFF, which is Fucking Conflicts, we offer a selection of shorts in which “conflict” is actually desired, as a transformative encounter, role-playing, and thus a desire to break down social norms and gender roles.

THRESHOLD by Ben Berlin. Threshold is an empowerment postporn ritual about transformation, a BDSM journey that leads us through the 5 elements.
LEVIDIS by Iris Glitzer. Villa Levidis was a famous film location in Athens. It was used for many iconic films from the 1960s to the 1980s. In the present day, a daydreamer rests on the ruins of the mansion while fantasizing about cruising with a stranger. Queer lust meets the golden era of Greek cinema in a dialogue about gender roles and social norms.
INSIDE OUT by Manon Praline. After warming up with steady punches and kicks, they plunge into the art of waterboarding as a way to connect. Empress Wu stretch Manon’s hole with her fingers, and pierce her skin with needles. The two femmes melt into each other, moaning in their carnal bath.
THE FARMER’S DAUGHTER by Cat Gold. Ashley Paige is lost and needs help. They are picked up by Vera Grace, who offers them a place to stay. Ashley finds Manon and they have sex. Ashley can’t keep his hands off Manon. Mother was watching them all along.
