LGBT activist filmmaker Carmine Amoroso launches crowdfunding campaign for post production cost on his documentary, PORN TO BE FREE.
PORN TO BE FREE is a provocative political documentary that explores the sexual revolution from the 70s and 80s, through the genesis of porn, from the first magazines and photoshoots to the first porn stars.
Directed by controversial gay Italian director Carmine Amoroso, the film is an entirely independent production. PORN TO BE FREE documents the generation who fought for freedom of expression and sexual liberation.
The production is still ongoing, and a crowdfunding campaign has now been launched on Indiegogo to help fund post-production costs and complete the title so it’s ready for festivals and theatrical distribution.
Carmine Amoroso, is a writer, screenwriter and director. After writing numerous award-winning screenplays, he marked his debut with Embrasse-moi Pasqualino starring Vincent Cassel and Monica Bellucci – the first Italian movie to talk about the life of being transgender.
His second feature film, Cover Boy, which represented Italy in more than 90 film festivals worldwide, won multiple awards and was one of the 3 finalists to represent Italy at the Academy Awards in 2009.
From Italy, to Denmark and California, PORN TO BE FREE follows those who have made the sexual revolution possible. It is an archive and a social commentary on being sex positive in a society that prevents us from being sexually free. The film aims to present this in a light-hearted, yet deep and political way.
In the wake of the protest movement of 70s and 80s Europe, a freedom group of porn stars and filmmakers fought to break down social barriers and taboos in a continent that was still a prisoner of the catholic and communist sexual hypocrisy.
The film features the main protagonists of that time, including porn star Cicciolina and her mentor and pornographer Riccardo Schicchi, pioneer director Lasse Braun, LGBT activist Helena Velena as well as key feminist figures Giuliana Gamba and Lidia Ravera. The film also reveals the story of an unpublished short porn animation by Charlie Hebdo’s caricaturist Siné.
Fans and supporters who pledge towards the project can be amongst the first to see this revolutionary documentary as well as receiving very rare films such as Amoroso’s LGBT movies Embrasse-moi Pasqualino and Cover Boy, the cult porn Cicciolina and the Nuclear Orgy or even the first feminist porn film directed by Giuliana Gamba. Other perks for people who make financial pledges include invites to the film premiere and a weekend of debate in the extravagant Repubblica di Frigolandia in Italy.
