The Guardian reports that the regional government of Catalan in Spain will provide funding for three adult films because they will help to spread the Catalan language.
The grants of £10,000 to a local film-maker are for what he described as women-friendly erotic films called Laura is Not Alone, The Memory of Fish and The Sea Isn’t Blue.
The actors embark on numerous sexual adventures, including those of a “religious, faithful and hardworking” middle-class girl who has regular weekly meetings with a stranger and is introduced to, among numerous other things, lesbian sex. The movies are marketed as “erotic films for women”, with male director Conrad Son claiming that one, about a male executive, is “for women who want to understand us”.
Apparently the films will not be explicit, but they are about sex, so naturally conservatives are up in arms about “wasting taxpayers money” and all those usual complaints.

I have to say, those are definitely not standard porn film titles. Never mind Shaving Ryan’s Privates, here comes The Memory of Fish. In which people have sex and then, four seconds later, forget who they are and what they’re doing.
I guess the sequel could be Sleeping With The Fishes. Most likely it would star Troy McClure.
What I’m also curious about is the idea that a porn film could be used to perpetuate a language. I’m looking forward to this approach being used in English literature classes in the near future. Indeed, why the hell wasn’t it in use when I was plouging through Clarissa or stupid bloody Alexander Pope at university?
