Ms Naughty looks at porn for women, feminism and sex in general
I’ve long been a fan of the films of Petra Joy. Now she’s launched The Joy Award, a short film competition that aims to encourage new female filmmakers to create erotic movies. This award is for first time female film-makers who would like to create erotic films that dare to question porn clichés and show sex in innovative and creative ways… The theme of the short film competition is: “What Read More …
Here it is, the little film that kept me very preoccupied last week. “Paddling The Pink Canoe” is a fun look at euphemisms for female masturbation. There are 44 individual slang terms used in the video. If you want the full list, visit the Pink Canoe page at FTG. I originally only intended to make a short 30 second fun video as a promo for For The Girls but then Read More …
You may have noticed I haven’t been posting much this week. That’s because I’m having too much fun making a little short film. It started out as a 30 second promo and now it’s stretched to 3 minutes and I’m thinking of entering it into film festivals. Can’t wait to get it finished and out there. The above song by the Divinyls is my ideal choice for the music (which Read More …
Found this great video about Candida Royalle on Youtube (via her site). If you’ve never seen any of her films this gives plenty of titillating glimpses into scenes from many of her films, plus a few short interviews and behind-the-scenes footage. I’m surprised Youtube hasn’t deleted it, to be honest. It’s all very raunchy! You’ll find all of Candida’s films on the Femme page at Porn Movies For Women.
Just wanted to get the word out that For The Girls is now a sponsor of the Good For Her 2009 Feminist Porn Awards! This is the first time we’ve done anything like this and we’re just so pleased to be involved. The FPAs are a celebration of female friendly porn, preferably made by women. So we’re on the same page philosophically. Unfortunately I’m not going to be able to Read More …
Just a quickie post which I’ll expand on Monday when I have time: Good For Her has released the list of nominees for the Feminist Porn Awards 2009. My little short, That’s What I Like, is listed. This is fab, but I should reveal the facts behind it. I’ve actually withdrawn the film from competition because For The Girls decided to sponsor the awards after I’d posted off the movie. Read More …
This week’s update at For The Girls features my new short video “That’s What I Like.” If you’ve been following me on Twitter you’ll know I had a big weekend shooting this movie and an eventful couple of weeks editing it. Now it’s live at FTG and I’m so pleased with it. The official blurb for the movie is: “That’s What I Like” portrays one woman’s individual sexual preferences, in Read More …
My poor blog has been neglected for a week now, but I like to think I’ve got a good excuse. I’m currently editing the footage from my first ever video shoot which occurred over the weekend. It involved a heap of planning beforehand and a very busy couple of days in the city. It was my first time directing and working behind the camera. I’m pleased to say that whole Read More …
Tomorrow marks the start of another wonderful erotic film festival, this time in the Netherlands. The Rated-X Alternative Erotica Film Festival features a fascinating variety of unusual, artistic and very sexy films offering a very different view of sexuality and porn. It’s almost the exact opposite of what was recently on show at the AVN awards. At the Berlin Porn Film Festival I was very lucky to meet one of Read More …
Yesterday I watched Comstock Films‘ latest release Bill and Desiree: Love Is Timeless and even though I’m writing up a proper review of it for For The Girls, I just had to post about it here today. Fact is, this film is incredible. I’ve long admired the work of Tony and Peggy Comstock but I think that their sixth offering is their best. This beautiful documentary gives us one of Read More …
The 54 page list of AVN Awards Nominations has been released and yes, I wasted too much of my precious time scrolling through it this afternoon. There isn’t much to report really; AVN has once again nominated the standard selection of big-name porn movies and the same old stars as part of the industry’s yearly orgy of self-congratulation. Innovation or new ideas don’t really get much of a look in Read More …
Teat Beat of Sex: Kirby (“I was always afraid of big dicks…” Dirty Little Shorts: The Letter C (C is for cameltoe…) I saw a lot of fantastic short films at the Berlin Porn Film Festival. The two above featured in the “Fun Porn” program and, as you can see, they’re more fun than porn. Which kind of sums up the whole festival; anyone who attended thinking it would be Read More …
Maybe I’m just more aware of porn festivals since I went to Berlin, but it seems they’re popping up everywhere. This weekend sees the second Pornotopia Feminist Porn Film Festival in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Petra’s Feeling It and Erika’s Five Hot Stories For Her are featured, as is Audacia’s funny new short Dacia’s Love Machine. The weekend we got to Paris saw the first ever Paris Porn Film Festival… which Read More …
I had the wonderful pleasure of meeting filmmaker Petra Joy at the Berlin Porn Film Festival and she was just as smart, sassy and fun as I expected her to be. Like many of those I met at the festival, we are very much aligned philosophically; it’s a bit like talking to an old friend, even though it was the first time we’d met in person. The final night of Read More …
I’ve just finished watching The Black Glove to review it for For The Girls, and I just have to blog about how fantastic the films of Maria Beatty are. This gorgeous filmmaker creates lesbian BDSM movies that are extraordinarily well crafted with a distinct artistic sensibility. The Black Glove has an amazing ethereal quality to it, like you’re watching someone’s dark fantasy come to life. I’m pleased to say that Read More …
