Isabella Rossellini’s ‘Green Pornos’

Isabella Rossellini‘s short film series “Green Pornos” is probably one of the most talked-about movies at this year’s Berlinale film festival. The actress and director plays eight different insects in the 8 one-minute episodes of “Green Porno,” a series made for mobile phones.

The film has the look of puppet theater, with its sets and costumes made from material and paper. For example, Rossellini dresses up in a green tube to play the role of the dragonfly or she glues six paper eyes to her face and spins a net out of hemp to create a spider’s web in which the object of her desire can be trapped.

“Green Pornos” was commissioned by the Sundance Film Festival based in Salt Lake City.

Rossellini’s “Green Pornos” is being shown as part of the “Forum Expanded” section of this year’s Berlinale. Three glass cabinets contain three mobile phones each, showing the insect sex. The screens are embedded in tree trunks or in the mouth of a frog. Visitors can look through a magnifying glass to observe the details more closely.

Two Berlin Jewels

JEWEL NUMBER ONE:

During my recent stay in Berlin I met an amazing guy, Kristyan Geyr, the director of a short film called THE VISIT, and one of the creators of the great Jailhouse Fuck Bed. The short film THE VISIT, that I strongly recommend to watch, is in the MOVIES zone of their site for free.

JEWEL NUMBER TWO:

[dos santos] is a beautiful atelier in Berlin (Mehringdamm 119, Berlin) of remarkable high-quality leather fetish designs by designer Petra dos santos. Her work ranges from accessories (e.g. leather ties, blindfolds, whips and paddles and every kind of bondage!) to leather lingerie, classic skirts, shirts, trousers with chaps, as well as corsets and specially tailored designs. Petra says: “A leather outfit is a very special mantle: skin on skin. Individuality is therefore very important. You will receive specialist advice when selecting the material and choosing the design, in order that your fantasy can become reality. Because the object of your desire should fit and suit you perfectly, in order to inspire you for a long time to come!“
