An Equally Predatory Monster (A ‘How-To’ on Making Feminist Tentacle Porn)

2015

UK / 17 mins
Artist Anna Wistreich talks about her approach to creating feminist tentacle porn, with analytical discussion on feminism, porn and women’s sexuality intercut with blissful imagery of jellyfish and live coral. The documentary relates her early fascination with porn to her artistic expression, and to the realisation that tentacle porn, often genderless, is also queer. Anna uses the medium of pornography in a radical way, to celebrate women’s bodies and sexual desire. The artist calls out for more variety of imagery to depict women’s physical sexuality, believing in the radicalising potential of an ‘equally predatory monster’. This film even comes with a manifesto…

Being Unbound centres around Mwamba, a female-to-male trans-person living openly in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. It follows Mwamba and his fellow activist-friends in their fight to create safe spaces and dialogue around a concept that is unknown to almost everyone in Tanzania. The strong friendship and impassioned fight portrayed by the protagonists shows how a sense of community and empowerment can be born out of a shared experience and cause. The film explores how it feels to live in a world where one is constantly forced to think about one’s gender, what it means to live between genders, and how to live your life when your gender identity does not match the one that the rest of society imposes on you.

Café Désirs

2015

Canada / 52 mins
Since the early 1990s, when a bloody civil war broke out in Algeria between the government and Islamist militants, the concept of haram—the forbidden—has demanded the rigid separation of men and women. Café Désirs is a fascinating look at a generation of young, single Algerian men as they come of age in the ancient city of Constantine, trapped between strict religious virtue and sexual desire. Three eloquent guides take us into the male-only world of cafés and hookah lounges, to talk openly about their lives, their frustrations with work and the social dangers of living in a sexually repressed society. It's a world especially fraught for those pursuing same-sex relationships, which are illegal and severely punished. Café Désirs is an engaging and complex exploration of male sexuality and gender politics in a country still struggling with the aftermath of civil war and colonialism. Lynne Fernie

The footage of the “One Woman Party” (taken during the Dyke* March Berlin 2014) is conducted by a poetic voice-over narration, sang by a group of women. These performers, constantly shifting between plural and singular voice, create a very intimate portrait of a community based on experiences of loss and abandonment. Their voices play in contrast to the reversed video (making women depicted in the footage walking backwards) and bring the forward movement, constructing a present time, which is looped forever.

This is the story of Lavika and the love of her life. In a society where arranged marriages are the only way one can get a new start, Lavika differed from the rest. Her unconditional love and her desire for a future with her uttermost priority, brings her into a Do-or-Die situation. All her efforts are for her companion, the one who understands her and to whom her heart belongs to. Neither can she hurt her parents nor can she let the love of her life slip out of her hands. When her dad invites a family over for a marriage proposal, Lavika realizes that it’s time she takes the big step.
A little weak at heart, she finds the simplest way out!

We all know that girl. We grew up being terrorised by the thickasasliceofbread layer of Rama Margarine on her polony sandwiches while we reassembled the overturned remnants of our grated polony sandwiches before her gaze, head bowed in shame, hoping she didn’t notice. Lorraine represents somewhat of an idealised oppressive aspiration that can only be pursued through the suspension of self. She is an imaginary policing construct, spawned from the greater male gaze that polices the movements of black femme subjects, and she needs to wait as we use the undesirable debris of polony and breadcrumbs to reimagine the many different ways our sandwich can exist.

A Home is not merely a physical space; it is a space of belonging- a space of acceptance and dignity. Where the blue lotus blooms is a film made at home with four Transgenders- Joanna, Pradipta, Sree and Urmi, who are from various social and physical spaces in Mumbai. Cutting through the identity of being a transgender in a world dominated by the cisgenders ( the so called ‘normal’ people) along with the social prejudices that come with it, they speak to each other about how they negotiate the space they call home.

Discrimination amongst humans based on external attributes is unfair and condescending. It betrays the very core of being human. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights”. Despite differences in gender, ability, color, wealth, sexual preferences or religion; we have all been created equal in essence. We arise from a mother’s womb and descend into ashes. Our short film portrays a pregnant woman who wishes that her unborn child arrives in a world where “You, me or them”- all recognize, treat and love each other as equal.
