PADDLE DOMINA DOMINATRICE

The Heart of a Dominatrix selected at Pan Eros Film Festival 2026 - only feature film of the festival

ByInanna Justice

It is with great pride that I announce that The Heart of a Dominatrix has been officially selected for the Pan Eros Film Festival (PEFF) 2026, to be held at SIFF Film Center Seattle May 2-3, 2026. What makes this selection so exceptional: the Pan Eros Film Festival specializes in erotic short films - and The Heart of a Dominatrix is the only feature film selected this year.

Why this selection is such an honour

PEFF usually programs films lasting less than 15 minutes. To have been chosen as the only feature film in a festival designed around the intensity and brevity of short erotic cinema is a distinction as rare as it is moving.

About the Pan Eros Film Festival

Visit Pan Eros Film Festival is the cinema component of Seattle Erotic Art Festival (SEAF), which celebrates its fifth edition this year. Launched in 2022 to restore cinema to its rightful place at SEAF.

The 2026 edition takes place in SIFF Film Center, in Seattle Center, May 2 and 3, 2026.

What sets PEFF apart is its sincere commitment to erotic cinema as an art form in its own right - work that, in the words of Sharol Xiao, winner of the Best Foreign Film 2025 award, «dares to be both tender and provocative». To be part of this selection alongside international voices of erotic art cinema, and to be its only feature film, will stay with me for a long time.

Where to see The Heart of a Dominatrix

For those unable to attend the screening at the SIFF Film Center, the film is still available worldwide:

The Heart of a Dominatrix has won awards in 25 festivals around the world (in April 2026), and Pan Eros 2026 is among the selections that touch me most deeply. Seattle has built something rare: a festival that embraces vulnerability, desire and craft with equal respect.
