Midnight Sexy Shorts returns with a daring collection of films that examine intimacy in all its awkward, tender, and chaotic forms. This late-night program journeys through questions of desire, power, vulnerability, and pleasure — often where they overlap. With humour, honesty, and just the right amount of heat, these shorts open up the private spaces of relationships, bodies, and identities.
From unexpected connections to uneasy boundaries, the films reveal how sex is rarely just about sex — it’s about language, expectations, memory, and selfhood. A sharp, bold, and deeply human look at what moves us, touches us, and leaves a mark.
🎤 Films are screened in their original language, with Ukrainian and English subtitles.
❗ These films may contain potentially triggering or disturbing elements, such as nudity, explicitness, masturbation, and depictions of sex.
