Ms Naughty looks at porn for women, feminism and sex in general
It took five weeks but here, finally, is my little doco about the 2009 Berlin Porn Film Festival. It’s a little over 4 minutes and you’ll hear some great comments about feminist porn by some of the fab female directors I met including Shine Louise Houston, Anna Brownfield, Candida Royalle, Anna Span, Petra Joy, Jennifer Lyon Bell and Renee Pornero. Plus a quick cameo from Joe Gallant and footage from Read More …
Petra has uploaded these videos shot on the 24th October at the Joy Awards. And here’s snippets from the winning films including mine: Part of me is mortified at how I look on that video. There’s a reason I’ve been anonymous all these years and it’s not just privacy or safety. I’m also kicking myself because I had a fabulous necklace and earrings ready to wear on the night and Read More …
Anna Brownfield’s amazing indie erotic film The Band has only just been released in the US and is available on Amazon.* The Band opened the Berlin Porn Film Festival and played to 3 sold-out cinemas on the first night. The response from the audience and other filmmakers was overwhelmingly positive. I certainly enjoyed it. This film successfully combines a fully developed narrative arc with plenty of hardcore sex. The explicit Read More …
Well folks, this is my last proper blog post for about four weeks. I’m off on my big trip to the Berlin Porn Film Festival where my short film That’s What I Like is having its premiere on Sunday the 25th Oct at 8pm. I’m very excited about attending the festival and meeting so many wonderful female porn directors. Candida Royalle, Petra Joy, Shine Louise Houston, Jennifer Lyon Bell, Maria Read More …
I found my heart beating a little faster this week when the organisers of the Berlin Porn Film Festival sent me their catalogue for the upcoming festival. There it was, my film, scheduled to screen at 6pm on Sunday 25th October, 2009. How completely exciting! I remember the first time I had anything published: it was an erotic story in Australian Women’s Forum in 1997. This film premiere is kind Read More …
In the last week or so I’ve been musing about the length of sex scenes in videos, specifically, what’s too short and what’s too long. I was recently editing a non-exclusive male masturbation vid and, in a frenzy of cuts, got a painfully long 18 minute video down to under 5 minutes. In that space of time I captured the guy fondling himself through his pants, taking them off, becoming Read More …
I hate being late to the party with these things but I’ve only just heard about the European Feminist Porn Award which is being held on Saturday 17th October in Berlin. Yes… I’m going to miss them, dammit, but despite my general divineness and best efforts at omnipresence I’ve discovered that I just can’t be everywhere at once. So this is essentially a party and film night to honour the Read More …
In Berlin last year I had the honour of meeting Jennifer Lyon Bell, an American filmmaker with a compelling vision for erotic film. Her film Matinee is a gorgeous work of art, well written, masterfully acted and beautifully filmed. It is a wonderful addition to the growing canon of well-made, female-focused erotic films and I consider it to be part of the new wave of sex-positive movies that are forging Read More …
The other day I visited one of the local video rental shops, a store I haven’t been to in a while. Imagine my surprise when I discovered Michael Winterbottom’s 9 Songs sitting unabashedly on the drama shelves. This is a small town, after all, and sexually explicit “art films” are a bit thin on the ground. I haven’t had a chance to see Shortbus, Destricted or any of those other Read More …
I’ve just spent a couple of days adding over 30 new film listings to Porn Movies For Women. I’ve created several pages for individual filmmakers and studios including Madison Young, Sweet Sinner and Libido Films. I’m actually a little embarrassed that I hadn’t added Libido Films earlier. The movies made by Marianna Beck over the last decade truly are good quality porn for women starring real-looking people having real orgasms. 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 …
Phew! Today I spent waaay too much time updating Porn Movies For Women. I’ve actually added a total of 21 new titles to the listing, which is pretty impressive considering it’s only been two months since I last updated it. I created a new page for Kelly Holland’s Chick Media, which last year released four titles including the MySexTherapist series. The first one earned her the Sexiest Straight Film at Read More …
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 Read More …
Over the weekend I watched all four Alien films plus AVP. It inspired me to get out my book of H.R. Giger’s amazing surreal artwork, some of which is amazingly explicit. Everything he creates has a lurking, dark sexual element to it, as if tapping into the vast and unvoiced fears of our sexual subconscious. It’s both arousing and frightening. Indeed, if you watch the first Alien film, I can’t Read More …
I love Ewan McGregor. And it’s not just because of his eagerness to get naked in almost every film he’s been in. He’s also very likeable. Proof: Long Way Round. Damn, that was great TV. Oh, and he was naked in it too. Anyway, apparently his latest film was too much even for him. He’s told the press he was exhausted after having to repeatedly get nude and simulate sex Read More …
