AORTA films Champions queer & trans indie p*rn to create a future of ethical fuckery.

We believe that p*rnography is capable of achieving the cultural relevance, political impact, and formal artistry equal to any other form. As queer and trans people, we know that both sexuality and p*rnography have always been–and will always be–political. We see p*rnography as an essential tool for documenting queer resistance and survival, providing preemptive community care through life-affirming pleasure, and naming that pleasure as an inalienable human right.

Our p*rn champions the reclaimed desires of people who have been told they are somehow wrong, sending cultural fault lines out into the world to disrupt it for the better. We create visionary explicit short films, features, and programming in partnership with our diverse range of collaborators, centering individuals who hold under- and miss-represented identities and bodies in mainstream p*rn. But it’s not just about our films. To achieve our mission of advancing the future of p*rn, we are dedicated to building the indie p*rn ecology through mutuality and collaboration, developing opportunities to curate, celebrate, and incubate the work of other creators in our field, exploring the future of porn together as a thriving creative community.

AORTA films celebrates the radical, transformative joy of so-called obscenity, in pursuit of p*rn’s liberatory future.
