Nouvelle vague porn |
Conference
In the late 1990s, a number of French porn actors and actresses began to make their own films and to think critically about their pornographic practice, giving rise to an unprecedented way of portraying sexuality which, to paraphrase the term coined by André Bazin, could be described as «nouvelle vague porn». These directors, who defy classification simply as pornographers or filmmakers, have adopted a new policy of the gaze and are influenced by trash literature, Baudelaire, Bukowski and Lydia Lunch, horror films, punk and goth culture, American feminist «pro-sex» movements and Annie Sprinkle’s traditional critique of pornography.
The aim of the night-time session, which is a porno film forum and a critical and performance space, is to explore this new pornographic vanguard: the confluence between the aesthetics and cultures that are emerging in French porn films and from feminist, post-feminist and pro-porn political movements and their discourses and which are producing new sexual models in opposition to those that currently prevail. In this seminar, priority is given in representation and discourse to the porn actors and actresses who have made the emergence of a «pornographic subject» possible through their own productions and auto-fictional writings.
