LFFF 2026: Exploring the Depths of Desire Through Seven Years of Fearless Cinema
Get ready to buckle in and strap on. The London Fetish Film Festival (LFFF) is returning for its seventh year, unleashing a fearless programme of international cinema that dives deep into kink, fetish, BDSM, and sexual liberation. From February 19th to 22nd, 2026, the festival will take over The Arzner LGBTQIA+ Cinema in Bermondsey Square to celebrate fetish culture as a lived experience, an art form, and a radical expression.
This year’s curation is designed for everyone—from the lifelong lifestyle fétichiste to the curious and open-minded seeker. Expect a journey ranging from arthouse to explicit, tender to transgressive, all while maintaining uncompromising cinematic quality.
The Venue: The Arzner LGBTQIA+ Cinema
All events will be hosted at The Arzner, London’s only LGBTQ+ cocktail bar and cinema. Located at 10 Bermondsey Square, this venue serves as a sanctuary for queer-focused talent and adjacent art forms. Please note that all events are strictly 18+.
The 2026 Programme Highlights
Thursday, Feb 19th: A Night of Heart and Philanthropy
The festival kicks off at 7:00 PM with PILLION, an acclaimed and unexpectedly tender love story that is as hilarious as it is subversive. Following the screening, join the team for a live Q&A at 9:00 PM. Most importantly, 50% of the proceeds from this screening will be donated to The Sussex Beacon, a charity providing specialist care for people living with HIV.
Friday, Feb 20th: The Launch Party with HOWL Worldwide
Friday marks the official launch party in collaboration with HOWL Worldwide. The evening features an exclusive screening of Bruce La Bruce’s THE VISITOR, a provocative tale of a refugee who seduces an upper-class family, leaving a void that transforms their lives. After the 8:15 PM Q&A, the celebration moves to the bar for custom LFFF cocktails and a live DJ set.
Saturday, Feb 21st: Shorts, Horror, and Award Winners
Saturday is dedicated to the art of the short film with two distinct sessions:
- Shorts Session 1 (4:00 PM): A curation of ‘Fun Fetish’ and 2024 award winners, including Indulgent Delights and Klimax.
- Shorts Session 2 (6:30 PM): A deeper exploration of Kink Art and Fetish Horror, featuring 20 short films such as The Nest, Guro, and Virgin X – Fuck Myself.
Sunday, Feb 22nd: Real Stories and Cultural Icons
The final day focuses on documentaries and the history of the movement:
- Documentaries (2:30 PM): Kinky and Loving It explores Black folks reclaiming agency over their desires, while Mr. Bound & Gagged offers a salacious and political look at queer kink media history.
- Inside Fetish (4:30 PM): A curated session featuring On The Erotics Of Stuffing Large Objects Into Small Spaces and several 2024 award-winning directors.
- Feature Presentation (6:30 PM): A BODY TO LIVE IN. This feature traces the life of “Gender Flex” icon Fakir Musafar, uncovering the roots of the body modification movement from underground BDSM parties to modern performance art.
