Have kindness in your heart and some wild porn in your mind. Meeting following a screening of FIERCE: A PORN REVOLUTION dir. Patrick Muroni
In Polish
Mainstream porn industry seems to be immune to social change and continues to reproduce stereotypical views on the body and sexuality. A group of young women from Lausanne decided to challenge this approach to portraying sex. They form an inclusive porn collective, presenting a new vision for desire. They group make their films between work at university or in a cheese shop, fully exploring the entire spectrum of sexual fantasies and testing their own limits and boundaries when it comes to receiving and giving pleasure. Their actions quickly spark interest of the press and the public, which our protagonists use to their advantage, showing a marginalised perspective on the pleasure of sex. Is this the beginning of a real revolution that could lead to wider changes in the porn film industry?
