Go Short 2026: Late Night Erotica

Sensual
Tanja Nuijten, Germany, 4 min
Slugs crawl gently across wet lips. Snakes glide softly between the fingers, while a bear lovingly embraces a woman’s body. Sensual offers an unusual, subjective, and highly intimate perspective on the feeling of physical closeness and tenderness. Using animal metaphors, the film takes us on a journey through the intimate emotions of foreplay.

Vibrations
Miguel Soll, Belgium, Brazil, 13 min
A documentary essay about a filmmaker’s relationship with his sexuality and pornography. Raised in a Catholic family, the filmmaker finds in explicit imagery a space where his homosexuality is accepted. The film challenges stigmas and explores the connections between desire, identity, and body politics.

Nos Fins Joyeuses (Our Joyful Endings)
Lucie Babayan, La Fille Renne, France, 6 min
In Our Joyful Endings, we follow the diary of a trans man who, during his transition, observes how his own view of his body and that of others changes, as he is torn between desire, fear, and doubt. From there, a sense of security grows among people who share this experience.

Orgy Every Other Day
Samuel Döring, U.S., Germany, 13 min
Orgy Every Other Day is set in New York City’s queer undergroundsex party scene in New York City and explores how important it is to create space for all letters of the queer alphabet, so that together they can experience the liberating potential of expressing and acting on sexual desires, while always asking for consent in a respectful manner.

Backseat
Jiz Lee, Robin Astera, Rae Threat, Germany, 6 min
An erotic drive through the streets of Berlin explores the desires of trans men and queer emancipation. The video pays homage to Homobiles, the queer taxi service led by Lynnee Breedlove, the 1980s safe sex educational videos from the Gay Men’s Health Crisis—such as the “Car Service” taxi porn—and the dream of a world where you can travel safely and freely.

Soudain l’été (Suddenly Summer)
Axelle Vinassac, France, 11 min
A young woman’s romantic and erotic journey, from a Wednesday in summer to a Wednesday in winter.

Squirting
Jana Nowak, Germany, 8 min
The short animated film Squirting—a history of female pleasure provides an overview of more than 2,000 years of cultural history surrounding female ejaculation. How is the perception of female pleasure linked to the production of this fluid, and what social mechanisms are involved in the suppression of female ejaculation from the public consciousness? The film explores the subject, from goddesses who squirt to the sex tips column in Cosmopolitan.

Gos musclées
Alexis Langlois, France, 3 min
Under the neon lights of a gym, surrounded by a group of butches, Billie Kohler—the electro-clash icon of the 2000s—trains passionately with weights. They’re here to build muscle. They’re here to pick someone up. There’s no such thing as cis-hetero here. There’s a rough-and-tumble vibe here. There’s a kinky vibe here.
