Films exploring porn as art were sought in a new film making competition
Revolver Entertainment, Destricted and Shooting People have announced a new short film competition to be judged by legendary director Larry Clark (Kids, Bully, Ken Park, Wassup Rockers), invitined emerging filmmakers to produce short films that challenge the boundaries between art and porn, to be screened exclusively at the 4th Halloween Short Film Festival in January 2007.
Destricted www.destrictedfilms.com Destricted is the first in a series of visual explorations of where the fine line of art, sex and pornography intersect. The films highlight controversial issues about the representation of sexuality and art; opening up for debate to question whether art can be disguised as pornography or whether pornography can disguised as art or something else altogether. The result is a collection of explicit, stimulating, challenging, provocative, strange and sometime humorous scenarios that leave it up to the viewer to decide. Destricted brings together a series of short films from Larry Clark, Gaspar Noé, Sam Taylor-Wood, Matthew Barney, Marina Abramovic, Marco Brambilla and Richard Prince. Destricted, distributed by Revolver Entertainment ( www.revolvergroup.com ), is on general theatrical release from 15th September at Curzon Soho, ICA, Barbican and elsewhere. The DVD is on general release from 25th September.
