01.03.2024, 22:00 Leokino Im Anschluss: Sex Positive Short Film Night
Pornhub, xHamster oder MyDirtyHobby – Pornos sind heute dank dem Internet so leicht verfügbar wie noch nie. Ebenso einfach ist es, für jeden erdenklichen Kink den passenden Film zu finden. Und das meist auch noch gratis. Warum also ins Kino gehen und sich gemeinsam schmuddelige Filmchen ansehen? Warum wächst die Anzahl an Pornfilmfestivals seit Jahren beständig? Und soll mensch wirklich einen Anus auf der großen Kinoleinwand sehen?
Gemeinsam mit unseren Gäst*innen aus den Bereichen Performance, Produktion und Festivalkuration gehen wir diesen Fragen nach, sprechen über Unterschiede und Gemeinsamkeiten der Filme, die auf Festivals gezeigt werden, und den Clips im Netz und ergründen das Phänomen sex positive film.

In her movies she root for a visible consent culture on screen and behind the scenes. She tries to challenge gender expectations and specific narratives. She has had the honor to screen her films at multiple film festivals and panel discussions. She hopes that one day people will talk about porn like we talk about any other film genre. “Let’s talk openly, be critical and let’s form this genre together and react to given times and needs.“ She is a queer feminist in love with porn. “Let this love be real, authentic and consent based.“

In their stage and screen performances Bishop regularly addresses themes of sexual fluidity and race using mythology, occultism, queerness and dance.

Her work in installation, sculpture, and performance explores socio-political discourses and gender identity, and has been exhibited internationally.
