BLUSH San Francisco PornFilmFestival Announces EmCees, Premier Sponsors, and Guest Artists
SAN FRANCISCO — Organizers of the BLUSH San Francisco PornFilmFestival today announced acclaimed drag performers Mary Vice and Kochina Rude as this year’s festival emcees, along with Premier Sponsors AV Flox, SexyJobs.com, MakeLoveNotPorn, and Trans Equity Consulting. The festival takes place July 31–August 1 at The Roxie Theater and features educational workshops, short film programs, artist talks, and expanded online streaming August 2–16 via PinkLabel.TV.
“Film festivals are a labor of love,” said Jiz Lee, Marketing Director of the BLUSH San Francisco PornFilmFestival. “They require hard work to produce and are rarely profitable. Regardless, the value of in-person film viewing and artist networking makes it well worth the effort. Each year, these events are made possible through the financial support of esteemed industry leaders.”
This year’s festival will be hosted by acclaimed Bay Area drag performers Mary Vice on Friday, July 31 at the 9 p.m. Fucking/Fun screening and Kochina Rude on Saturday, August 1 at the 9 p.m. Sex/Scene screening.
Since launching in 2020 as an online festival during the COVID-19 pandemic, BLUSH has evolved into a hybrid event featuring theatrical screenings and online programming. Highlights of the 2026 festival include an intergenerational filmmaker conversation with Alex Mendo and Colette Standish, the filmmaking masterclass Finding the Gems led by Shine Louise Houston, and post-screening artist talks moderated by Houston. Featured guests include Annie Sprinkle, Beth Stephens, C Daddio, Sivan Lioncub, Atomic (LT) Hawk, StormMiguel Flores, Annalise Ophelian, Alex Mendo, Jiz Lee, Ryan Avery, Jaq Quicksilver, Colette Standish, Seth Puckett, Dante Bender, Gloves, Sqrt, Talia Shea Levin, Luca Pellicoro, Goddess Bombshell, Polly Bombshell, Polly Eurethane, Mx Mayhem Mai, and Polaroids_Wow.
