CUM2CUT Indie-Porn-Short-Movies-Festival
...is calling!!!

Berlin, Germany, 14-22 october 2006
http://www.cum2cut.net

Unlike mainstream porn, the CUM2CUT Indie-Porn-Short-Movies-Festival 
focuses on the activities of the international independent and 
countercultural queer movement and presents a platform where artists, 
filmmakers, djs, actors and everyone interested can collaborate.

The CUM2CUT Indie-Porn-Short-Movies-Festival has developed in 
collaboration with the Berlin Porn Film Festival 
http://www.pornfilmfestivalberlin.de, the first porn film festival in 
the city of Berlin.

The CUM2CUT Indie-Porn-Short-Movies-Festival is an independent 
pornography competition. It is a three day marathon in which 
participants are invited to realize a short film in the city of Berlin, 
which will be shown during the Berlin Porn Film Festival.

The main idea is to connect a heterogeneous and international network of 
people who want to create art independently and to freely express their 
sexuality. Therefore, CUM2CUT is a networking platform which aims to 
create open and free artistic networks where people can address the 
topic of pornography without being marginalized.

CUM2CUTt is also an opportunity for participants to play with concepts 
of sexuality and pornography by producing and enjoying 
indie-porn-short-movies: the best short-movies you'd want to make and to 
watch. The idea is to broaden possible imaginaries and "desirescapes" 
related to pornography!

In cinematography pornography is usually considered a subcategory: in 
CUM2CUT it magically comes to centre stage!!!
The short-movies must be completely shot in Berlin after the opening 
party to promote and enjoy the pleasure of sharing pornography all over 
the city. This is the D.I.Y game!

The concept of play is directly linked to CUM2CUT: body-games and sex 
toys are the starting point for subverting mainstream expression of 
pornography, through the practice of détournement.
Cum2Cut aims to reach those who are fed up with mainstream pornography, 
who are frustrated by tolerating the rules of normalized society. At the 
same time, CUM2CUT provides a critical perspective on political 
imagination and rejects the notion that radical politics must always be 
boring and serious.

CUM2CUT proposes an experimental concept starting from bodies and space, 
spreading pornography as clouds of pollen to eroticize the city of 
Berlin, mixing up fluid bodies, nomad identities and playful sexualities.

The CUM2CUT Indie-Porn-Short-Movies Festival is open to queer, homo, 
hetero, lesbo and transsexual independent video- and filmmakers, 
pornographers, performers, screenwriters, directors, queer cultural 
activists and artists, free thinkers, excited minds and all the people 
that like to mix technology and bodies.
The purpose is to develop ideas on film production and to share them 
with an interested community for a participatory exchange.
