Synopsis

DESTRICTED is the first short film collection of its kind, bringing together sex and art in a series of films created by some of the world's most visual and provocative artists and directors. Each one of them reveals the diverse attitudes by which we represent ourselves sexually. DESTRICTED is a platform for all forms of uncensored artistic expression - manipulating and embracing the expression of sex through art.

The Destricted brand is the first in a continuing series. The seven films presented explore the fine line where art and pornography intersect. The films highlight controversial issues about the representation of sexuality in art; opening up for debate the question of whether art can be disguised as pornography or whether pornography can be disguised as art or something else altogether. The result is a collection of explicit, stimulating, challenging, provocative, strange and sometimes humorous scenarios that leave it up to the viewer to decide.
