MORE ABOUT COLLABORATIONSFeatured Project: Playing With Fire—An Ecosexual Emergency
Our Hot New Feature Film Has A World Premiere!
June 20, 2025 11:00 AM — 12:10 PM at the Roxie Theater, San Francisco, and lunch party afterwards at The Lab—free for ticket holders!
Playing with Fire is a heartfelt, mythopoetic documentary born from the ashes of California’s devastating fires. When lightning ignites the redwood forest surrounding their home in Boulder Creek, longtime lovers Beth Stephens and Annie Sprinkle are forced to evacuate with their dog Butch—and their lives are forever transformed.
Blending loss and grief with art, humor, and community care, the film unfolds through an ecosexual lens (imagining the Earth as a lover) while weaving stories from a formerly incarcerated firefighter, Indigenous scholars, fire artists, neighbors, a witch-therapist, a fire fetishist, hot burlesque dancer, and Albert the wild, white peacock who miraculously survives the inferno. Playing with Fire explores how climate catastrophe intersects with social justice, to create a powerful portrait of resilience in the face of a world in flames.
