Dirty & Flirty: Interviews and Intercourse – Personal Journeys into Porn Featuring Headshot & scenes from The New Romantix Presenting Sponsor:
|
Featuring:Headshot To the intriguing question, “Can a sex scene be hot, even if you can’t see the sex?” the answer, we think, is a resounding “yes”. Originally inspired by the 1964 Andy Warhol film “Blowjob,” the erotic documentary “Headshot” portrays an intense, shared sexual encounter in which we see only one participant, a leather-jacketed (and eventually naked) young man (first-time actor Chris Brinkhof). As in Warhol’s film, we never see the face of the person giving the blowjob (first-time actress Katinka de Vries), and we only see Chris from the waist up. The result is a unique take on male sexuality, unusually honest and authentic. “Headshot” just goes to show that ‘hot’ films come from an attitude towards sex, not from checking off a list of body parts to be displayed.The New Romantix We may sometimes wonder the reasons a woman or man would choose to be an actor in adult films. If you’ve ever been curious, these scenes will give you some answers. Director Max Royale debuts The New Romantix collection with a feature full of passion and heart. In this sexy and fun romp, Royale profiles six beautiful, intelligent, funny, and amazing women on their passionate quest for sexual liberation and empowerment. These stunning exhibitionists strut their stuff and give the discriminating voyeur a front row to all the intimate and gorgeous details. Shot entirely in HD, with an exceptional music score. We will highlight four of the scenes from The New Romantix. |

Labor of Love: Changing the Face of Porn –Interviews with indie porn makers, followed by Q&A with the Pornotopia festival director and others Featuring scenes from Made in Secret, Headshot, and Coming Out Spanko |
Featuring:Made in Secret The word “pornography” conjures up various images, ones decidedly different for each of us. Mainstream porn has permeated our culture and led us to believe that they define our ideas of sex and what is sexy. But Pornotopia is just one indication that a porn-counter-culture exists and is emerging to take back the good name of pornography! Made in Secret is an enthralling, inspiring and deliciously perplexing labor of love, made over the course of three years by a group of friends who wanted to make a documentary about their local anarcho-feminist porn collective. The only problem was that collective didn’t exist. And so, in order to make the film, they actually became the anarcho-feminist porn collective that they so passionately wanted to document. So is the resulting film a documentary? A fictional drama? Even the collective doesn’t know anymore. And ultimately, it doesn’t matter, because the movie isn’t about what happened or what didn’t happen – it’s about what’s possible. And the possibilities are huge, transcending the quest for egalitarian porn and touching at the very heart of how we engage with others and with the world around us. A thought-provoking and genre-bending look behind the scenes of what might be the world’s only underground DIY anarcho-feminist porn collective.Headshot To the intriguing question, “Can a sex scene be hot, even if you can’t see the sex?” the answer, we think, is a resounding “yes”. Originally inspired by the 1964 Andy Warhol film “Blowjob,” the erotic documentary “Headshot” portrays an intense, shared sexual encounter in which we see only one participant, a leather-jacketed (and eventually naked) young man (first-time actor Chris Brinkhof). As in Warhol’s film, we never see the face of the person giving the blowjob (first-time actress Katinka de Vries), and we only see Chris from the waist up. The result is a unique take on male sexuality, unusually honest and authentic. “Headshot” just goes to show that ‘hot’ films come from an attitude towards sex, not from checking off a list of body parts to be displayed.Coming Out Spanko Keeping a video diary of her thoughts, multi-talented Tanya Bezreh contemplates her entry into a world of kink and her place within it. Winner – Best Documentary Short, CineKink 2008 |

Anything Boys Can Do, Girls Can Do Better– The best of new lesbian porn, butch/femme/sporty/confusing & queer Featuring scenes from No Fauxxx Roulette & Champion |
Featuring:Champion Champion, directed by celebrated feminist porn director (and three-time winner of the Feminist Porn Awards) Shine Louise Houston, stars Syd Blakovich (a real-life mixed martial artist) in a tale of fucking and fighting that transcends the level of ordinary porn; it’s better considered as an indie lesbian film that happens to include a lot of explicit sex. Jessie (Syd) is a martial artist on the cusp of the big time – going on the circuit, getting corporate sponsorship, the whole deal. But the clean and wholesome image her manager has worked so hard to create is starting to slip as rumors of her homosexuality and promiscuity begin to slip out onto the internet. Things get worse when an old enemy threatens to reveal the truth about Jessie’s life to a magazine – unless Syd agrees to throw an important fight. Intermingled with this tale of ambition and betrayal are, of course, lots of the intense, passionate, and playful lesbian sex scenes we’ve come to expect from Houston’s work. This is the peak of Houston’s considerable achievements as a director, and a must-see for fans of real lesbian sex, ultimate fighting, and – simply – good cinema. Winner of “Movie of the Year” at the 2009 Feminist Porn Awards! No Fauxxx Roulette Courtney Trouble brings us new, hot, queer porn! Winner of the Feminist Porn Awards for Most Diverse Cast. Some of the hottest lesbian action-solo, couples and more! You’ll see a lovely butch (in an interesting sweatshirt!) pleasure herself, a femme and butch pleasing each other, and a solo play with milk that has to been seen to be believed. If that’s not enough, imagine four hot ladies, some strap-ons, a pool table, and a Hitachi magic wand. Guaranteed to provide plenty of fodder for your fantasies! |
