WINTA JAM ZURICH – SHIBARI AT SIHL13 – with a Newbie Intro
Rope Bondage is for everyone!

So basically it's very simple: people who don't see themselves as WINTA , please stay away from the event.

In his film *My Film with Andrei, Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Document a Sex Party*, photographer, podcaster, author, and filmmaker Ayoto Ataraxia portrays a group of young people from Berlin’s hedonistic, sex-positive scene who organize an orgy to celebrate their friend Andrei’s birthday. We won’t see the orgy in this film. In conversation with director Ataraxia, we’ll discuss the new constraints of sexual liberation, his time living with the protagonists, the trust they built, the detached perspective of his film, as well as the representability of an orgy and its relevance.
