Brandon is a 30-something living in New York. Brandon has a well-paid job in the advertising
industry. And Brandon has a problem: He is sex-addicted, spending his time with hookers, one-night stands and pornography.
While his problems are growing worse, his eccentric sister Sissy, a troubled person herself, comes and moves into his flat.
Her presence and her longing for emotional closeness turn Brandon’s life upside down. Shame is a radical exposure, both bodily
and mentally, a film about sex and the longing for intimacy in a superficial world.
The
Porn Film Festival Vienna was brought into existence in 2018, and started with posing an easy (yet strangely hard
to answer) question: "What is porn?" 2019 sees the festival return on 4-8 April, still with the challenging
objective to showcase and celebrate the colorful diversity of porn, and stimulate an open, societal debate. Its mission is
to bring a genre back into the public sphere of the cinema that is usually locked away in private quarters. Its prime directive
is to present the creativity and political possibilities of a defining (yet always hidden) part of society. The goal is to
challenge prejudices and stereotypes.
