Our Stories, Our Bodies, & Our Pleasure Matter - DRIP is for us. A short film festival in NYC exclusively featuring Queer & Trans artists.

This includes BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color), disabled folks, and fat folks. Our stories, our bodies, and our pleasure matter.

The festival will take place over July 12th and 13th, including three curated screenings, each with a unique lineup of films, raffle prizes, performance art, and a vetted after party. To align with our mission of centering LGBTQIA+, the after party will only be open to LGBTQIA+ guests.

Pricing Transparency

Drip Queer & Trans P*rn Film Festival is a unique event uplifting marginalized voices in p*rn. As part of creating this event, we aim to build a sustainable system to keep this event running annually, and hopefully grow. We are also committed to compensating filmmakers for the screening of their films, as both a value we hold and a modeling of the behavior we want to see from our audience– Paying for independent queer p*rn!

Our tickets are priced with these goals in mind; however, we also have some discounted tickets available for QTBIPOC and transfemme guests experiencing financial hardship.

Options to volunteer for either a free or reduced-fee ticket will also be available. Please only request one of these spots if you cannot afford to pay for a ticket.
