Green Porno is a series of very short films conceived, written, directed by and featuring Isabella Rossellini about the sex life of bugs, insects and various creatures. The films are a comical, but insightful study of the curious ways certain bugs “make love”.

Netzbürger aus den USA können sich die acht Kurzfilme direkt auf der Webseite des Sundance Channel ansehen. Laut dessen Pressemitteilung ist der graphische Look der Filme extra an den sogenannten “third screen”, also Computerbildschirme, Handy-Displays und iPods angepasst, denn, so Rossellini, “they believe — as do a lot of other people — that the advent of the mobile phone, the iPhone and other small devices could provide new venues and new popularity for short films.” So entstand also folgendes Experiment:

Each film is executed in a very simple childlike manner. They are a playful mixture of real world and cartoon. Each episode begins with Isabella speaking to the camera “If I were a… (firefly, spider, dragonfly etc.)”. She then transforms into the male of the species explaining in a simple yet direct dialogue the actual act of species-specific fornication. The costumes, colorful sets and backdrops as well as the female insects (all simple paper cut-outs and sculptures) contribute to the playfulness of the films. The contrast of this “naïf” expression and filthy sex practices adds to the comicality of Green Porno. This child-like manner allows us to describe things that could possibly come across as offensive to some.

Nicht-US-Amerikaner werden auf der Webseite mit dem Hinweis vertröstet, die Filme würden ab Anfang Juli bereitgestellt werden. Na ja, please check back periodically for international updates.
