Hot Bits Film Fest May 16-17 @ SNF Parkway Theater (5 W North Ave, Baltimore MD 21201)
Hot Bits is a queer erotic film festival centering QTIBIPoC (queer, trans, intersex, Black, Indigenous, People of Color) self-determined desire, joy, and pleasure. We highlight underrepresented bodies, acts and stories often marginalized by mainstream society in celebration of anti-oppressive queer/trans erotic life and art.
In addition to the films, we are taking over the Parkway Theatre with a sex positive vendor fair, a curated selection of periodicals and more from the Mid Atlantic Annex of the Carter Johnson Library and Collection (2nd floor lounge), happy hours, and 3rd floor lounge as a trauma informed low sensory zone.
Flyer also included for our all QTIBIPoC erotic visual art show across the street at the Club Car.
Must be 18 years or older to attend.
