OUTLAW LADIES (world premiere of new 4K restoration)

Henri Pachard (United States, 1981) – 83 min.

Women call the shots in this hilarious and surprisingly feminist look at the intertwined sex lives of New York’s upper crust. From a politically conservative supermodel with a secret life as a sex worker, to a lawyer who wants to celebrate a big win by trying something new, to sexually frustrated wives who go slumming to satisfy their wilder tastes, these ladies know what they want and demand their boytoys give it to them! Full of 1980s glamour, campy dialogue, and kinky moments, Outlaw Ladies features a stacked cast of classic adult stars, including Marlene Willoughby, Veronica Hart, Samantha Fox, Jody Maxwell, Juliet Anderson, R. Bolla, John Leslie, Bobby Astyr, and Joey Silvera—plus a theme song you’ll be singing on the way home. SECS Fest is very proud to premiere the brand-new restoration of this underseen gem from the Golden Age of Porn!

Film historian, David Church will be introducing the film.

VELVET VISION: THE STORY OF JAMES BIDGOOD AND THE MAKING OF PINK NARCISSUS

Bart Everly (United States, 2025) - 98 min.

Velvet Vision is the story of photographer/director James Bidgood, whose 1960s beefcake photographs depicting elaborate fantasy scenarios drenched in lush color transcended the genre. On its 1971 release, his film Pink Narcissus was initially credited to “Anonymous,” shrouding it in mystery. Falsely attributed to Kenneth Anger and Andy Warhol, among others, it wasn’t until almost twenty years later that the film was revealed to be Jim’s work. Velvet Vision follows Jim’s efforts as he prepares to shoot his first photograph after a forty-year hiatus, while also exploring his past as a window dresser, drag artist, and costume designer. A true pioneer of underground gay culture, Jim’s struggles tell the story of an outsider pursuing artistic goals to overcome societal ostracism, whose fantasy life became a mechanism to keep him tethered to reality.
