Quintet – a Choreopornographic Experiment

Film

Quintet –
a choreopornographic experiment

Part One of the Sex & Space Trilogy

How much sexual explicitness is allowed into a “serious” artistic dance film? & how much time & space are allowed in pornography?

I invited a group of professional contemporary dancers in Berlin, all of whom are also explorers of conscious sexuality, to use their experience making dance pieces to research & question the border between pornography & art in this 22-minute short film.

Also a tribute to the experimental & sex-positive atmosphere of Berlin in the early 21st century, Quintet brings together work with dance, movement & conscious sexuality to create a unique erotic visual experience. Sound design by the extraordinary Jassem Hindi.

The project was both my first dance film, & my first experience trying to raise money for a project through crowdfunding. We did fairly well on both counts, besides almost getting kicked off the crowdfunding platform for “inappropriate content” Quintet was first shown at the Porn Film Festival Berlin (Oct 23-27, 2013 at the Moviemento Cinema).
