German Fetish Film Festival: 4 London nights in February
The German Fetish Film Festival returns to London for four nights at the Flying Dutchman, spread across this month. We set out the full London programme for the next four Thursdays, drawn from the best films at last November’s main event in Kiel
Highlights of Germany’s annual Fetisch Film Festival will be screened in London this month when the German Fetish Film Festival returns to the Flying Dutchman following last year’s successful evening of films.
The London format for 2014 has been expanded from one night to four — on successive Thursdays throughout February — in order to show a selection of award-winning films and other entries from the last festival in Kiel in November 2013.
The evenings will once again be MC’d by well-known London scenester Dee Bee, who will host a discussion after each screening with the help of Ava Black and other kinky film fanatics.
Film fans worried their German might not be up to scratch need not fret — all the films screened in London will either be in English or will have English subtitles.
The London screenings start at the Flying Dutchman this Thursday, February 6, and continue on February 13, 20 and 27. Advance season tickets that will get you into all four screenings cost just £10 plus £1 booking fee from WeGotTickets.com until tomorrow (Wednesday 5) only.
Otherwise you can take your chances and try for a ticket on the door. Those will cost you £7 per night, subject to availability, and with unreserved seating.
The full programme of films to be screened in London can be found below. Links to more info on individual films are in the panel on the right. Doors open at 7pm and screenings start at 7.30pm on each evening.
