Kinky Cinema was a curated film series based in Berlin, created and facilitated by Maya between 2022 and 2026. Dedicated to exploring sexuality, desire, taboos, and the diverse world of kink through cinema, the project brought together curious and open-minded audiences to experience films that challenged conventions and invited meaningful conversation.

Rather than simply screening films, Kinky Cinema presented a carefully curated selection of classics, documentaries, and contemporary works exploring themes such as BDSM, fetishism, power dynamics, non-traditional relationships, gender, identity, and erotic psychology. Every screening was followed by a facilitated discussion, transforming cinema into a space for reflection, dialogue, and community.

Hosted at Berlin's historic Moviemento Kino, Kinky Cinema grew into one of the city's few recurring events dedicated to the cultural exploration of kink through film. More than a film series, it became a place where strangers gathered to experience challenging cinema together, then stayed to reflect, question, and connect.

This archive preserves the films, conversations, and moments that shaped the project—a record of a unique chapter in Berlin's kinky cultural landscape.
