Adorn is proud to screen in the Feature Competition Film selection at Hacker Porn Film Festival, a post-porn artistic film festival in Rome.
The mission of Hacker Porn Film Festival is to give value and visibility to independent productions that make new subjects of investigation and research the bodies, sexuality, and the transitions between genres. The post porn, as writing, can undermine gender, language conventions and reassuring entertainment film we’re used to. The festival aims to ‘hack’ and destabilize the conventional system of access to cinema. Hacker Sex as a new way of facing sex and life, such as push to “go further” and infect rigid cultural principles to propose a flow without borders and stimulate truly free creative expression.
There will also be an art exhibition and workshops, titled “Ultrabodies: Geographies of Desire.” This art exhibition is meant to “challenge the normative perception of the vast spectrum of sexuality through artworks realized with any preferred technique, with the aim to investigate bodies and their infinite expressive possibilities. We would like the artworks to mirror and accompany the festival’s ongoing research on the cultural and social construction of pleasures and sexual identities, to dream together of territories and geographies that are still unchartered, far away from genders, borders, and even far from the human form. This is an invite to find a way to represent that unnamable queer value that still escapes from the meshes of language and control; an invite to subvert and dissolve imposed categories; an invite to explore the alien, the cyborg, abjection, porosity, prosthetics, the resistance acted by bodies towards borders and boundaries.”
Though Jennifer cannot be there in person due to a time conflict, we would love to know how the festival goes! The program looks very interesting.
