SECS Fest

And now the real work begins. The SECS Fest team will be busy updating the website, getting all of the accepted films, compiling programs, cutting a festival trailer, and so much more.

If you submitted a film to the festival, check your email for your acceptance letter.

We accepted approximately half of the films submitted this year as the submissions were excellent. But we only have a three day film festival, which places a time limit on the number of films we can take each year.

SECS Fest 2021 will have 4 feature programs and 4 short film programs plus a double-feature of recently restored archival adult films from the 1970s.

I can’t wait to see you at the Grand Illusion Cinema in September!

Thanks to everyone who generously gave during our GiveBig campaign! You will help us to bring back SECS Fest this fall to our home at the Grand Illusion Cinema in Seattle. We cannot do this without your support!

We raised a total of $1,136, just $64 short of our fundraising goal of $1,200.

Thank You!

Just because GiveBIG is over, the fundraising platform is open for donations until midnight (PacificTime) on May 10. So you could be the one to take us to our fundraising goal.

We are still accepting erotic film submissions for SECS Fest 2021, However:

SUBMISSIONS CLOSE ON MAY 21

To submit, visit https://filmfreeway.com/SECSFEST21

We can’t wait to see you (and your film) this fall at SECS Fest 2021!

Save the Date – Give Big is May 4-5

We were very fortunate to have so many supporters that see the value in gathering to appreciate erotic film. We created the Seattle Erotica Cinema Society as a direct challenge to the cultural stigma of open discussion and depiction of sex and we believe that defying this cultural norm will help each and everyone of us to feel a little less shame about our feelings and desires.

However, as an organization that celebrates human sexuality in all of  its endlessly creative and awe inspiring messiness, raising money to support our events is an uphill battle. So we are again participating in GiveBig to raise the needed funds to put on SECS Fest 2021 and we need your help. We plan to return to the Grand Illusion Cinema in September for a traditional, in-person film festival, and we want to make it bigger and better than ever.

And you don’t need to wait until May 4-5 to donate to our GiveBig Campaign. You can give when early giving begins on Tuesday, April 20th. To Give, visit our Give Big profile.
