This is a short film competition that seeks to encourage new female directors who are exploring themes of sex and sexuality in film. This year’s theme is “Female Fantasies”. Directors can submit any kind of film – erotica, animation or documentary for example – that feature female fantasies in an innovative, creative and artistic way.

In 2009 I was honoured to win the first ever Petra Joy Award with my film “That’s What I Like.” I attended the award ceremony at the Berlin Porn Film Festival and had a great time drinking champagne with the other contestants.
