Thursday February 8, 2024 : Fetish Film Festival


On the sidelines and on the fringe of the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival, Mistress Cindy is pleased to present to you a selection of short films and unreleased films from the Fetish Film Festival, the unmissable sm.art event since 2013 !

Fetish Film Festival 2024 Audience Award



Thanks to a participation that would make a presidential election blush with envy, we are pleased to award the Fetish Film Festival 2024 Audience Award to:


SubSpace Sanctuaire, by aXelle de Sade

Many of you have indeed appreciated its direct and straightforward representation of BDSM practices.
A tied second place in the votes for the delicate poetry of Galine BoutDeFicelle, but also for the sincere subtlety of the consented domination/submission relationships of the Chauffeur, by Maud Ferrari.
Great proof of the quality of the films presented, which visibly left you undecided: third place in the votes is also shared in a tie, with one side, the indomitable and strange Tiger by Jacob Chelkowski, and on the other, the fantastic piano and bondage performance of Carles Santos and Mistress Cindy.





As in previous editions of the sm.art Fetish Film Festival, it is an eclectic selection of genres, styles and atmospheres, between documentaries, biographies, fiction and experimental artistic creations, which will make you discover or rediscover the numerous aspects fetishism and unconventional sexual practices.

  • Opening the festival, the parody fiction documentary Da Kink In My Lair by Yulia Petrauskas will take you into the world of fetishes in a fun way. A role that gave Yulia Petrauskas a best actress award!

  • Néo-Fetish Posture by Manon des Gryeux is a film which features a photographer who explores the reality of a world made up of singular, sometimes rebellious, often fragile dandies who disorganize the codes of SM for playful and festive use, by following their own fantasies. This film is drawn from the director's personal experiences about the Parisian neo-fetish movement.

  • The Chauffeur, by Maud Ferrari, will immerse you in the story of a meeting between a French actress and a driver who tells her of his strange desires... Thanks to this subtle and complex role, Johnny Kostrey won a best actor award.

  • In one of her very poetic short films, Galine BoutDeFicelle will play Louette, her recurring character, always enigmatic in her black catsuit, and always mischievous, in a bondage session with a polished aesthetic, and all in lightness.

  • aXelle de Sade will present to you in SubSpace Sanctuaire her concept of BDSM role-playing games in an immersive video of real practices with a dark and careful aesthetic.

  • With Abysses, Mistress Cindy will highlight a very special anal practice in a radically contemporary and visually experimental way. A film which has already captivated the Grand Rex theater in Paris as part of a gay and lesbian festival.

  • The famous fetish photographer Christophe Mourthé will be presented to you in an intimate and straightforward biographical documentary, followed by an aesthetic immersion in his creative universe, and finally, one of his videos highlighting Dita von Teese, the famous queen of burlesque, that Christophe Mourthé was one of the first to sublimate.

  • A very special moment will be offered to you with a filmed performance, never sceened before on the silver screen, by the internationally renowned Catalan artist Carles Santos. Virtuoso pianist, composer of genius, very talented director of all kind of fantasies, Carles Santos is not only the author of numerous erotic-pianistic creations where fetishisms shine through, but also, among other major works, of the overture (composition and direction) of the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games, with singer Montserrat Caballé on vocals.

  • To continue with experimental films with a particular aesthetic, Paulin Rogues, with Paris-Marseille, will allow you to take a journey into a phantasmagoria from his erotic and fetish universe in computer-generated images.

  • With Tiger, Jacob Chelkowski will invite you into the intimacy of a man, master of a domestic feline woman... which is not without responsibilities or risks.

  • To close the festival, Mistress Cindy will offer you "Nouveau Départ", an exhaustive biographical short film (and previously unreleased in theaters) offering you an emotional history of her career, followed by a very last visit to her fantastic dungeon, before the door is permanently closed...


You will also be given the opportunity at the end of the screenings to vote for your favorite film in order to award the audience prize!
