Made in Secret, the Story of the East Van Porn Collective (trailer)

Made in Secret is an enthralling, inspiring and deliciously perplexing labour of love, made over the course of three years by a group of friends who wanted to make a documentary about their local anarcho-feminist porn collective. The only problem was, that collective didn't exist. And so, in order to make the film, they actually became the anarcho-feminist porn collective that they so passionately wanted to document. So is the resulting film a documentary? A fictional drama? Even the collective doesn't know anymore. And ultimately, it doesn't matter, because the movie isn't about what happened or what didn't happen --- it's about what's possible. And the possibilities are huge, transcending the quest for egalitarian porn and touching at the very heart of how we engage with others and with the world around us.

bullshit. no such thing as ethical porn or feminist porn. porn is by definition objectifying. if you feel the need to flaunt yourself under the mistaken belief that you are liberating yourself then think again. the UK feminist movement is staunchly anti-porn and anti objectification. i just hope the US follows suit one day

@lazaru1 who are you to decide what is liberating to someone else? i imagine that uk feminism is as diverse as us feminism and your views do not represent "the movement". (also this video was shot by canucks.) take your conservatism back to your preacher and keep it away from our bodies. consent is sexy, your oppression is not.

@mutinyoh sorry to say that my views do represent the majority view of UK feminists. consent is sexy indeed, but why do you need the approval of a third party? you carry on as you like, just drop the 'feminist' angle, because thats one thing youre not. and for the record i am an atheist anarchist, so think before you judge.

@lazaru1 i suggest watching the full film and keeping an open mind. the video is more a documentary / how to on consensus organizing with the addition of a sex positive message, than any kind of conventional "porn". im not concerned with how you label yourself.
