Kinky Cinema Open Air
Kinky Soul & Kino Central Presents: Kinky Cinema Open Air 

Cinema and movies are powerful mediums for storytelling and artistic expression. It allows the viewers to connect and reflect on their own lives and internal worlds. Kinky Soul Cinema aims to bring together people from across the sex-positive spectrum to experience and observe kink, fetish, LGBTQ+ gender identity, non-traditional relationships, and controversial forms of sexual expression on the big screen in order to facilitate open discussions and empowerment of the sex-positive community. This summer we have an open-air venue that will make our events even more special! at the iconic courtyard of Hackesche Höfe in Mitte.
