‘London Porn Film Festival’ promotes Necrophilia
A ‘London Porn Film Festival’ is due to take place from April 26th-28th at The Horse Hospital, an independent arts venue in London. This ‘festival’ involves the screening of violent pornography. There is a panel event encouraging pornography use in schools. Another event is called “Sex Work is Work.” This is advertised using the hashtag “necrophilia”. Can a dead woman consent? According to The Horse Hospital, “sex work is work” even if the woman being raped is dead. We OBJECT. View our letter to Camden Council, write your own and join us in protest. Let’s stop this celebration of men’s violence against women.
