I’ve Been Nominated For A Feminist Porn Award

I just realised that I haven’t actually blogged about the news: my short film Fucking Is The Only Prayer has been nominated for a 2011 Feminist Porn Award. I’m rather chuffed. I suspect it won’t win as it’s only short and there isn’t a short film category. But it’s nice to be listed. I submitted For The Girls to be considered for a website award but it didn’t make the Read More …

Room 33 By Erika Lust

Room 33 Erika Lust from boolab on Vimeo. Here is Room 33, a new sexy movie by Erika Lust (as written about in this post from a few days ago). It just looks luscious.

The Punishment For Screening Porn In Australia Is… A Donation?

In August last year, film director Richard Wolstoncroft decided to engage in some civil disobedience. He had wanted to screen the film LA Zombie, an explicit gay film about zombies, at the Melbourne Underground Film Festival (MUFF). The Australian censors did not grant permission for him to do so – it’s illegal to publicly screen porn in Australia. Angered by the banning of the film, Mr Wolstoncroft organised a “public Read More …

Film Competition, Anyone? Bueller?… Bueller?…

The deadline for the Female Gaze Erotic Film Competition is the 16th August – next week. Alas, I haven’t received a single entry. I’m a bit sad about this. I had hoped to encourage alternative visions of erotica with this competition but perhaps now was the wrong time. Perhaps I didn’t promote it enough (although it didn’t help that the major filmmaking sites wouldn’t list it due to their “no Read More …

Erika Lust Interview

Our latest update at For The Girls features an exclusive interview with Spanish erotic filmmaker Erika Lust. I reviewed her film Life Love Lust last week and absolutely adored it.

Feminist Porn Awards Advance Press

I’m a very grumpy blogger this week, as you’ll know if you’ve been reading my Twitter stream. I had every intention of flying to Canada to finally attend the Feminist Porn Awards this year.

I’m now into Read More …

Sexy Short Films

Since returning from the Berlin Porn Film Festival last October I’ve been working on a new site called Sexy Short Films. I’ve only updated it in dribs and drabs because finding, researching and posting the videos takes up a lot of time but I think it’s been worth the effort. I’ve been holding off on launching it because I wanted to have a decent selection of films to start. There’s Read More …
