Just weeks after coming home from a holiday in France I&#8217;m about to fly back to Europe to attend the Berlin Porn Film Festival. It&#8217;s costing me way too much money and I&#8217;m not looking forward to another 23 hours on a plane but I felt like I&#8217;d be missing an important opportunity if I didn&#8217;t go.<\/p>\n<p>My short film <a href=\"http:\/\/indigolush.com\/thoughtofher.html\">The Thought Of Her<\/a> is screening in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pornfilmfestivalberlin.de\/pffb_2011\/en\/?p=1240\">Female Porn<\/a> session (Thu 27\/10 at 13:45 and again on Sat 29\/10 at 19:45) and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.schnitt.de\/211,0064,01\">my essay on feminist porn<\/a> was recently published in the German film magazine <a href=\"http:\/\/www.schnitt.de\">Schnitt<\/a> to co-incide with the festival. <\/p>\n<p>On top of that, I&#8217;m keen to meet feminist porn legends Tristan Taormino, Jiz Lee and Nico Noelle, among others. I&#8217;ll also be catching up with filmmaker friends Jennifer Lyon Bell, Anna Span and Petra Joy. I&#8217;m also really hoping to shoot some erotic content when I&#8217;m in Berlin. Nothing has been planned but given the cheerful and easygoing vibe of the festival, it&#8217;s a real possibility. If nothing else, I&#8217;ll shoot some interviews and other footage for small documentaries.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been to the Berlin Porn Film Festival twice before, in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.msnaughty.com\/blog\/berlin-porn-film-festival-2008\/\">2008<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.msnaughty.com\/blog\/2009\/12\/02\/berlin-porn-film-festival-2009\/\">2009<\/a>. The latter was especially fabulous, as you can see in the little doco I made about it:<\/p>\n<p><code><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rWpJGKUqvTo\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/code><\/p>\n<p>The festival is one of the few opportunities to meet with and discuss emerging ideas about porn, film and sexuality. It&#8217;s not a commercial expo like the Venus exhibition which was on a couple of weeks ago in the same city. Instead, it&#8217;s a more intellectual and artistic endeavour and one that is becoming increasingly popular. There&#8217;s something very liberating about sitting in a packed theatre and watching dirty movies with other people. It&#8217;s such a shame we can&#8217;t do anything like it here in Australia due to our ridiculous censorship laws (although change may be on the horizon, fingers crossed).<\/p>\n<p>In any case, I&#8217;ll be scarce for a couple of weeks. When I come back, I plan to finally kickstart my filmmaking plans and hopefully have a real feature finished in 2012.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s a bit much really.
