This feature length film seeks to explore the incredible potency of queer hedonism, specifically
how the authentic performativity of kink and queer porn can evolve trauma into orgasm, and grief into politically radical,
transformative, body-based joy. This work aims to negotiate pornographic embodiment as an anti-oppressive, trans-inclusive
feminist practice rooted in femme caretaking and risk, and contextualizes itself as a choreographic process. ( ) investigates
the complexity of pleasure, exploring the so-called obscenity of bodies in their most tremendous capacity—their glorious,
illicit humanity. Created by the queer/feminist porn collective AORTA films in collaboration with the performance
company “the A.O. movement collective”, the film celebrates queer pleasure as a type of queer resistance, while inviting viewers
of all identities towards their own human capacity for pleasure.
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.
