I’m busy busy busy today editing dirty movies so here’s a couple of quick links of interest.
* Vice Tries To Bust Me On The Porn Set – Feminist adult filmmaker Tristan Taormino reveals her run-in with an LA Vice squad while filming her latest movie (something BDSM themed, can’t wait). This story provides a disappointing reminder that it doesn’t matter how ethical or feminist or progressive the porn may be, in the eyes of the cops and the prudes, it’s all dirty and evil.

* Thanks to the lovely Ell I now know that there’s going to be a semi-erotic film festival in Melbourne in September. The Sexy International Film Festival aims to showcase movies about relationships, love and sex, although it’s running with the tag line that it’s “not porn.” Presumably so Australia’s version of the vice squad don’t turn up and close it down, as happened with Tony Comstock’s film. Actually, I’ll be interested to see if the cops do visit the festival just to make sure no-one’s getting aroused.
The list of films is here. I see that Anna Brownfield is presenting some of her short films (I’m still looking forward to her film The Band which we should see very soon)
I’ll be in Europe when the festival is on, and then I’ll miss it when it goes overseas. I wish the organisers the best of luck and wish I could go.
