Forbidden Fruit presents: Forbidden Film Fest - Uncensored
May 7-9 2014 at the Vortex Theatre and Butterfly Bar
A new film event from the producers of The Texas Burlesque Festival.
Forbidden Film Fest Uncensored (FFFU) at the Vortex and Butterfly Bar promises a diverse program including post-premiere Directors Q&A with Annie Sprinkle and Beth Stephens live via webcast, a set of 16mm “banned” films from 1940-1975, and a competition that boasts both local and international selections that span erotica, experimental, animation, comedy and a touch of something a bit more X. The program is accented by a custom curated erotic pre-show designed for FFFU by the Alamo Drafthouse.
We are proud to have on our judges’ panel local documentarian, Bradley Beesley, local filmmaker and assistant professor a the UT school of Film, PJ Raval, local burlesque legend Coco Lectric and Dr. Kimberly TallBear, Professor of Anthropology at UT Austin and author of The Critical Polyamorist. Among others, awards will include Audience Choice and Judge’s Choice.
In addition to film screenings, FFFU is pleased to present “Feminism and Sexuality and Texas”, a speakers panel featuring Mistress Kayla of San Antonio (Pro Dominatrix), Dr. Kim TallBear (Prof, UT Austin), Mia Martina (Bedpost Confessions Producer), and Morgan Collado (Trans 100). This part of the program is free and open to the public. Mistress Kayla also offers a workshop: Festishsim & BDSM.
