An OFF rendezvous celebrating films, screenplays and directors.
The Gaysight HARD CUT Festival is a one-of-a-kind event in Europe, created to celebrate the boldness and creativity of gay adult cinema. More than just an award ceremony, it’s a platform of recognition for directors, producers, studios and independent creators who push the boundaries of imagination and eroticism.
Our mission is to highlight works that stand out for their aesthetics, storytelling and cultural impact. Here, there’s no star system: we focus on the quality of films, scenes and collaborations. HARD CUT is the commitment to giving a voice to productions and talents shaping the future of gay porn.
Step 1 — Submission: studios, directors or creators submit their works (feature, scene, collaboration, etc.). Once validated by the organization, the official nominations list is published.
Submission deadline: January 15, 2026
Finalists will be announced end of January 2026
Gaysight HARD CUT celebrates cinematic and artistic creation in gay adult cinema. Studios, directors and independent creators are invited to submit their films, scenes or collaborations produced in 2025. After validation by the organization, the selected works will compete in the official categories.
Submissions are open now until January 15, 2026. Finalists will be announced at the end of January 2026. All works must be original productions, featuring only performers who are 18 years or older at the time of filming, and must meet professional quality standards. Accepted formats include films, scenes, photos and collaborative projects, with a maximum file size of 1 GB.
The winners are determined through a mixed system: 40% public votes and 60% jury votes. This ensures both community recognition and professional artistic validation. The festival’s mission is to highlight the creativity, diversity and technical excellence that define contemporary gay adult cinema.
