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.<\/p>\n
The final night of the festival saw the official big screen premiere of her third film Feeling It<\/em> and it played to a packed house. I had already seen the film to review it but that didn’t stop me from going all weepy and emotional AGAIN during the exquisite lovemaking scene between Belle and her dark, gorgeous lover. There’s something about this film that just turns me into a jellyfish – and I thought I was fairly immune to porn.<\/p>\n In any case, my husband filmed the extensive Q&A afterwards, including the question from one perplexed (and probably virginal) guy who said he only spotted one and a half orgasms during the whole show. I’ll include the best bits in the mini-doco I’m making about the festival for For The Girls.<\/p>\n Petra came to the festival after a major triumph at the Venus Adult Industry Awards<\/a>. The organisers created a special category just for her and gave her the Special Jury Prize for “Pioneering Achievements in Porn for Women”. It’s great to see the European adult industry finally recognising the efforts of people like Petra – even if they tend to be infuriating at other times (check Petra’s blog<\/a> for further details of the frustrations she encountered during the expo). There’s no similar award or category in the US industry which is a real shame, I think.<\/p>\n The other good news is you can now download all of Petra’s films via her VOD site<\/a>.<\/p>\n I’m currently working on a shorter video of the festival to feature on the blog. Stay tuned, I’ll have it up by the end of the week, hopefully.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 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.
