Fetish. Kink. Leather. BDSM. Celebrate all forms of consensual intimacy.

Perspectives on fetish, kink, leather, and BDSM are as numerous as the people in these communities, and the fourteen films in this series explore various points of view on the sexual practice and art of fetish and kink, bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, sadism and masochism. Cinema is a fetish for the moving image, a form of roleplay for the actors, and an experience of voyeurism for the viewer, and Fetish Film Forum celebrates the power of film to realize humanity’s innermost desires. All screenings will be introduced by local film programmer John McDevitt, and they’ll be joined by numerous guest co-presenters and pop-up vendors throughout the year.

Screenings are January-December, 2024, held the 3rd Saturday of the month at 7pm at the Leather Archives & Museum (6418 N Greenview Ave, Chicago, IL), and post-screening discussions are included with all screenings. Single Tickets can be puchased in advance and cost $10 per screening, or $8 for LA&M Members & Students. Double Feature Tickets (October or December) cost $15 for General Public, or $12 for LA&M Members & Students. A Season Pass to see all fourteen films costs $100 for General Public, or $80 for LA&M Members & Students. Tickets can be purchased at https://leatherarchives.org/events/2024-fetish-film-forum All tickets include a 30-day membership to the LA&M.

This series was programmed by John McDevitt in cooperation with the Leather Archives & Museum. John is a lifelong cinephile who currently works as Community Engagement Manager at FACETS, the non-profit film organization in Chicago’s Lincoln Park.
