Tuesdays, 8PM EST (September 15 - October 16, 2026)
Grab some wine, dress up (or down!) for the camera to discuss short, approachable works by unorthodox thinkers such as Wilhelm Reich, Anais Nin, Sigmund Freud, Michel Foucault, and others. Some of our topics will include polyamory, BDSM, philosophies of sex in ancient and non-western societies, and even sexual repression among Nazis. Our founder, Joshua, will also curate a handful of indie-experimental-erotic films that match each session’s theme.
Private tutorials provide a tailored, intellectual exploration of a particular topic or question that excites or is relevant to you. Salon’s founder, Joshua, will research and construct a curated reading and media list, guiding and exploring with you. Finally, a professor who is there to help you answer YOUR questions.
Tutorials last for four weeks, plus an initial consultation. They are open to individuals plus their partners or interlocutors (groups and polycules are welcomed!).
Wednesdays, 7PM EST (January 6 - 27, 2027)
It’s the end of the world as we know it—we might as well enjoy some great films.
In this global film seminar, we will plunge into alternative visions of the future—both utopian and apocalyptic—to explore how our ability to imagine and desire better futures has become limited over the last 50 years—in some cases, violently murdered by neoliberalism. To do so, we will watch and discuss Soviet sci-fi, overlooked French animated classics, Polish surrealist arthouse, and even some pop-corn munching American neoliberal disaster-core.
While the world obsesses over collapse, this seminar uses cinema to ask a weirder question: How have people imagined something better?
Films will be curated and provided.
