Roaming Hookerfest
The Roaming Hookerfest is a traveling outdoor caravan of sex workers bringing the films to the street. This first-ever Roaming Hookerfest was developed by Festival co-director, Erica Berman (AKA Fabulous). Fabulous wanted the festival to reach out past the usual crowds so she created this guerilla art event. On Friday night of the festival we will be driving a movie van with films and safer sex materials to alleyways throughout San Francisco. We will be showing a half hour of excerpts and short films highlighting the festival. We will post the locations and the list of movies at our site at: http://www.sexworkerfest.com/RoamingHookerFest
Meet us at 16th and Folsom at 9 PM for an elegant soiree on the streets. Dress up or dress down!
The movies we will screen focus on entertainment for sex workers on the street including The Aphrodite Project by Norene Leddy which presents magical hooker platforms, designed for the street hookers of the 21st Centruy, and Lin Jingjie and Yann Shan Tsai’s Street Survivor, a precious portrait of a Taiwanese street hooker, her time and the cop who arrested her from Left Motion Filmmakers Collective.

An incredible nite of booty beats, reggaeton rythms, and more music than you can imagine at the Red Lite Dance Nite!!!
An extremely rare West Coast appearance by the infamous DJ bent – spinning reggaeton, funk carioca, hip-hop, baltimore club, miami booty bass, reggae/dancehall, and a whole lot more.
This is the after party for the Roaming Hookerfest, so drink, dance, eat Chinese food nearby and discuss ’sex worker sinema’ with sex workers from around the country. This party supports Sex Worker Arts & Film Festival and this fall’s National Sex Worker Activist Trainings.
