The 1st Porn Film Festival is produced by the Jurgen Bruning Filmproduktion, an established production company in Berlin involved for many years in the production of films dealing with porn. The festival cooperates with cinemas like Kino Arsenal, the showcase place of the Freunde der Deutschen Kinemathek, the Kant Kino, Brotfabrik, Xenon, Volksbühne am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz, Galerie Tristesse Deluxe, Schwuz and the night club Insomnia.
The festival has a wide support by its commercial partners and corporate sponsors like Blue Movie, Wurstfilm, GMfilms, Inflagranti, konkursbuch-Verlag, Gaydvdversand and Playstixx.
Media sponsors are Beate Uhse TV, Siegessäule (Gay monthly magazine), Du + Ich, L-Mag, German-Adult-News, goon-magazine, Praline-Video and the magazine ADAM.
Festival activities include Vivid-Alt’s Girls Lie international premiere. Girls Lie is scheduled to premiere at the Kant 1 Theater. American fans will get a chance to see the movie after it reaches stores nationwide on October 24.
The title, which is directed by the head of Vivid-Alt, Eon McKai, features a cast including Charlotte Stokely, Dana DeArmond, Riley Mason and Pixie Pearl.
“I think I took a lot of chances with Girls Lie,” McKai told AVN.com. “It’s so different from anything I’ve ever done… I think it’s more mature.”
Jurgen Bruning, who also came up with the idea to make Thursday, Vivid-Alt Porn Night. The evening will feature screenings of excerpts from four movies from the Vivid-Alt imprint, including The Rebelle Rousers, East Side Story, Skater Girl Fever and Dana DeArmond Does The Internet.
Other festival activities include a gallery show with work by Bruce LaBruce, Richard Kern and Nan Goldin. There will also be an opening night screening of Shu Lea Cheang’s I.K.U. a film that is considered inspirational to the alt porn genre.
They believe in the idea of presenting porn in an urban environment which has had the reputation of being wild in any form of self representation for many decades. Berlin is the place to have the Porn Film Festival happening now.
