SECS Fest

Our final festival at the Grand Illusion Cinema had come to an end.
THANK YOU for coming out to the festival and showing your support and love for erotic films. This felt like a huge, supportive community of porn nerds and we love you for that.

We all needed to immerse ourselves into an alternative, queer erotic utopia for a few days.

We do not yet have a plan for future events, but you will be the first to know when we do.

And thank you to our two filmmaker guests that attended the SEX101 screening on Sunday, November 10. Becca Rieckmann (Admissions of Desire) and Robert Lawson (Grey Narcissus) joined us for a post film Q&A sharing details about making the films and future plans.

Thanks again for coming out and supporting the SECS Fest.

The Grand Illusion is Closing in January…

In 2023, the building that has been our home for decades was sold by its longtime owner. We recently learned that our lease will not be renewed when it expires in February 2025.

Our plan has always been to relocate the cinema. We are deeply grateful for our home of the past 50+ years, but the time has come for us to build an even grander Grand Illusion! Here’s how you can help us recreate the magic of the Grand Illusion in a new location: MORE INFO
