Blue Artichoke Films late-night program

As part of the Short Film Festival Hamburg (Kurzfilm Festival Hamburg), the late night Saturday screening will feature Jennifer’s films Silver Shoes: Undressed, Wild Card, and a documentary showing the “making of” Jennifer’s film Adorn (“What’s your Policy On  Orgasms, dir. Zoe D’Amaro.)

Jennifer and the stars Kali Sudhra and  Bishop Black will all be there in person to present  Wild Card!

“Blue Movies at Midnight”

From the festival program:

Silver pumps, latex gloves, a deck of cards. Male, female, queer. Top, bottom, switch. What turns you on? Who are you? Do you feel like playing? Three explicit pornographic films show what porn can look like beyond the mainstream. Three different encounters, staged as fiction, documentary, framed improvisation. The program celebrates the work of director Jennifer Lyon Bell and performers Bishop Black and Kali Sudhra. And it sends the audience on an exciting journey through time. Back to the time when porn could not even be rented on VHS, but could only be seen in company. In this respect, the program is also an invitation to see porn films differently. In full length. Together with others. Perhaps this feels strange, perhaps normal or even wrong – in a normal movie theater, the films are robbed of the function for which they are usually used. But perhaps that is precisely what makes “Blue Movies at Midnight” so appealing.
