FREE ALTERNATIVE PORN SCREENING TONIGHT:

TOO MUCH PUSSY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PROJECTION DE TOO MUCH PUSSY
d’Émilie Jouvet
en présence de la réalisatrice
ET discussions informelles à propos de porno réalisé
dans une perspective féministe et queer
 
le mardi 19 avril à 19h.
CASA OBSCURA
4381 rue Papineau

“TOO MUCH PUSSY! Feminist Sluts in The QueerXShow”

est un road-movie jouissif et truculent sur la post-pornographie et le mouvement féministe sex-positif.

C’est un documentaire explicite sur les folles aventures de 7 jeunes artistes performeuses , réunies le temps d’une tournée épique , qui ont traversé l’Europe en van pendant l’été 2009, foulé les scènes cosmopolites des boîtes de nuits branchées parisiennes , en passant par les squats queers underground berlinois et les théâtres prestigieux de Stockholm, Copenhague…

Jeunes femmes militantes, artistes, écrivaines, musiciennes, sex workers, pornostars.
Heterosexuelles, Lesbiennes, Bisexuelles.Queers.
Pin-up vintages , Punkettes, Teenagers, Androgynes, Femmes Fatales, Girls next door …
Elles viennent d’Europe et d’Amérique.
Leurs (dés)orientations sexuelles et expressions de genre sont diverses et multiples.
Nées de la révolution féministe pro-sexe initiée dans les années 80 par Annie Sprinkle, Candida Royalle, Carol Queen,
ces jeunes femmes assument leur goût pour la sexualité, jouent librement avec les genres et réinventent sur scène de nouvelles représentations du désir et de la jouissance.

Le film documente leur tournée, les expériences marquantes que les 7 filles ont traversé, les croisements dans leur spectacle et dans leurs vies entre la pornographie et l’art, la performance et la réalité, le privé et le politique.

La camera d’E. Jouvet a tout filmé, des connections intimes qui se sont développées entre les filles, aux inévitables tensions dues à l’épuisement de la route, des rencontres amicales et sexuelles avec les habitant-e-s des villes traversées, aux réflexions politiques et artistiques développées par les performeuses.
Emilie Jouvet, Wendy Delorme,  Judy Minx , Madison Young, Sadie Lune, Mad Kate and DJ Metzgerei vous offrent une parenthèse de liberté, un manifeste féministe sex-positif.
