In 2022, the decision was made to bring Film back to the Seattle Erotic Art Festival. In order to do this properly, to give the deserved focus and attention to the films and their creators, it needed to be more than it had in the past. Our most passionate advocates for Film came together, and the Pan Eros Film Festival (PEFF) is the result of their efforts.

Since its inception, PEFF has attracted work from artists across the globe, conveying a range of subjects and sexualities. PEFF features three programs: Short Films, Feature Films, and Silent Films. The Short Film program features a selection of short films under 15 minutes in length and The Feature Film program showcases films under 60 mins in length, both programs will be screened in-person at the Pan Eros Film Festival in SIFF Film Center on May 2-3, 2026. The Silent Film program features a selection of silent films under 15 minutes in length which are continuously screened for three full days at the Seattle Erotic Art Festival in Exhibition Hall from May 1-3, 2026.

"What sets PEFF apart is its sincere commitment to erotic cinema as an art form. The festival embraces vulnerability, diversity, and playfulness without ever compromising on curatorial thoughtfulness. The screenings were beautifully arranged, the audience was warm and open-minded, and the communication with the organizers was generous and attentive. Thank you, PEFF, for creating space for work that dares to be both tender and provocative. I look forward to returning with future creations and witnessing the festival grow year by year. Highly recommended to all artists whose work lives on the edge of desire and beauty."
