The one-night only event broadcasts live today at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET and is free to members of the platform's subscription service PinkLabel+.

Selected works to be screened for the event include iconic fetish director Maria Beatty's Seven Deadly Sins, Fatale Media’s Safe Is Desire, Richard Abel’s Nights in Black Leather starring Peter Berlin, contemporary queer BDSM house Foxhouse Films' Femmephilia, and Deth’s own 2020 short Lucifer Leather Lust.
Inspired by arthouse and grindhouse cinema, Mondo Fetiche celebrates the world of fetish with explicit productions exploring identity, gender and sexuality in a sensational way.
More information on each of the selected works follows:
Seven Deadly Sins (18 min excerpt, Maria Beatty, 2002)
Caught in the act of coveting her mistress’ position as a notorious exotic dancer, a young maid must submit to her sadism and her lust. Set in the roaring 20’s when decadence was a privilege, the gorgeous combination of retro visuals and contemporary explicitness creates a fresh experience in fetish cinema. Maria Beatty’s movies have an elegant, old-fashioned look, like a 1920’s German art film or a naughty French postcard come to life.
Safe Is Desire (15 min excerpt, Debi Sundahl/Fatale Media, 1993)
Allie and Dion are in love, but sex issues threaten their new relationship. They visit a San Francisco sex club where they see a lust-filled lesbian orgy, including a delightfully playful demonstration by the Safe Sex Sluts and other downright kinky lesbian sex. Raw lust and passion with a heart, Safe Is Desire is beautifully shot, scripted and performed.
Nights in Black Leather (21 min, Richard Abel, 1973)
Peter Berlin stars as himself, a German immigrant walking around San Francisco looking for adventure. With scenes shot in North Beach, Land’s End, and all over San Francisco, Nights in Black Leather is both an exciting erotic romp and a time capsule of gay life in San Francisco circa 1973. Directed by Ignatio Rutkowski, aka Richard Abel.
Femmephilia (15 min, Alyx Fox/Foxhouse Films, 2015)
Eugene not only appreciates femmes, she worships them. She kneels at the altar to show devotion to three very different women. Seductive Lucy with her lithe body, pale skin and jet black hair, teases the “altar boy” with her flogger before Eugene succumbs to the cruel whip of sadistic redhead Alyx. Lucy holds the leash and Alyx holds the hair as Rubenesque Clementine smothers Eugene with her breathtaking JJ cup breasts. Eugene’s tongue caresses Clementine’s huge nipples and tenderly licks the A cups of Alyx and Lucy before she is brought to the floor to be trampled by the women’s bare feet and cuban heel stockings. Finally, the trio covers Eugene with hot wax as she jerks off and cums, overwhelmed and spent by femme sexual power. Trans directed hardcore queer BDSM.
Lucifer Leather Lust (16 min, Carlos Deth/Mondo Fetiche, 2020)
This fantabulous fetish scene tells the story of Dame Damiana, a 19th century baroness who loses her husband Bartholomew to the 1819 plague, then makes a deal with the devil in order to bring him back to life.
