Erotica Vol. 3

Big Brother is watching you and He wants to control everything you do. Especially your body. How you move it, what you do with it, what you wear on it. He monitors if you had an abortion, He supervises if someone wants to transition, He commands you whom to love, and the list goes on. But your body doesn’t belong to Him. It’s yours and you should do whatever you want with it!

In this special programme, you will be presented with two sections that explore eroticism, corporeality and desire in short animated films. The Take Me To Your Venus section addresses the theme of existentialism and the relationship between body and mind. It speaks about passion and love. The second section Cactus, Slug And Horny Fruits focuses on a crazier perception of eroticism. It opens the gates to other, bizarre worlds where anything is possible.

On the one hand, both sections are a celebration of sexual diversity and expression of sexual love, but on the other hand, they are a kind of protest. Because to love, to accept our bodies, to enjoy them on our own or with someone else, it is all a form of rebellion against ostracism and patriarchy.
