SECS FEST PRESENTS BEHIND THE GREEN DOOR

A young socialite named Gloria (Marilyn Chambers) is abducted from a posh Sausalito hotel and taken to a mysterious club somewhere in San Francisco. There, she’s thrust into performing in a bizarre stage show wherein she’s “loved as she’s never been loved before” by a procession of men and women in front of a masked audience. As those in the crowd work themselves into an erotic frenzy, the lines between performer and spectator soon begin to blur.

Adapted from the anonymous underground story of the same name by filmmakers Artie and Jim Mitchell, BEHIND THE GREEN DOOR is a seminal work of American independent, erotic, and experimental cinema that helped to launch the so-called “porno chic” era of the 1970s.




Founded by the Seattle Erotica Cinema Society in 2016, SECS Fest celebrates a diverse range of sexually explicit representations, finding beauty in erotic difference and inspiring adult conversations about sex.

Dedicated to bringing world-class erotic movies to Seattle screens all year, SECS Fest is also delighted to partner with The Beacon for a series of monthly screenings, leading up to the 2026 edition of SECS Fest in November! For more info, see: https://www.secsfest.org/
