A while back, GV staffer and blogger Angelxtacy wrote about Georgina Spelvin’s visit to our Valencia SF store. Well, she’s back! Georgina Spelvin will be presenting The Devil in Miss Jones at the Lumiere Theater as part of the IXFF (Independent Erotic Film Festival) and will be doing Q&A herself following the film. It’s at [...]

I do a great deal of visual research at the Picture Collection in the Public Library in Mid-Manhattan. During one session, I found a 70’s era photo montage in the Erotic folder of photograph of a naked woman collaged into a photograph of a hot dog bun. The artist had also squirted red and yellow paint onto the image. The image struck me in diverse ways–the eroticism, the gross-ness, the rough technique, the offensiveness.

Late in 2002, when John Cameron Mitchell solicited 10-minute audition videos for his “Sex Film Project” to create a nonpornographic, sexually explicit movie (the final product would be called Shortbus), I had no idea how to make a film. But I had an idea for an audition video, and I had iMovie on my computer, and I had a deadline, so poof! I became a filmmaker.

We’re all pretty excited about the screening tomorrow night of “BDSM – It’s Not What You Think!” The film’s participants, as well as producer Erin Palmquist will be there for Q&A, and so will Dr. Carol Queen, Ph.D who will be hosting the event.
What’s more, Dark Garden — who makes amazing corsets — will be [...]

This is Allegra Hirschman’s Directorial Debut, but Co-director April Hirschman has directed several other popular shorts. Shady Bi, a short spoof on advisory warnings told of the the “dangers” of bisexuals to jeopardize the tentative bonds of monosexuals (straights and gays) to get along. Shafted is different because it is character driven while still being campy and fun.

Cam Shot (2008, 4 min.) is a black and white erotic and fetishist film. I wanted to pay a tribute to the amazingly gorgeous women in expressionist film. Therefore, it is a visual essay about lighting, contrast, texture, and make-up. It was filmed in front of a black velvet backdrop with a single spot on the actress (a Lowell 500W). She has dark and white make-up over her whole body so the contrasts are really visible. I think the ratio is almost 16 to1!!! I almost exclusively shoot my projects on Super 8 mm film

Our film for the Good Vibrations IXFF (Independent Film Festival) has been submitted, and now I feel like I can tell you all about it.
The shoot was one of the best experiences I have had in a long time, an experience I am still trying to analyze and digest. Often I get approached to work [...]
