(TORONTO, ON) — On Friday, April 5, feminist pornographers from around the world came together at the Capitol Event Theatre for a steamy and X-rated celebration of feminist porn. Twenty-three awards in total were handed out in categories ranging from Smutty Schoolteacher Award for Sex Education to Steamiest Straight Movie at this annual event, now in its eighth year.
“Good for her began organizing the Feminist Porn Awards in 1996 to celebrate the growing diversity of porn where everyone can see their desires reflected,” said Carlyle Jansen, founder of Good for her and the Feminist Porn Awards. “We celebrated films from Toronto and all over the world, from folks who used an iPhone to those with big budgets, from soft to edgy, artsy and political. Repeat attendees commented on the quality and diversity that continually improves. The event has grown to more than 1000 people attending. Feminist Porn is clearly not going away.”
Responding to feedback that they want to “see more porn,” the events also included a screening event called Public Provocative Porn: The Year’s Best in Feminist Film, giving audiences a chance to see more of these incredible films as well as the opportunity to engage with filmmakers in a panel discussion and question and answer period. Held at the Bloor Hot Docs Theatre in Toronto, over 400 people gathered to watch selections from Feminist Porn Award nominated films. Jiz Lee, Nica Noelle, Julie Simone, Mia Gimp and Clark Mathhews were on the panel to share their experiences, goals and processes in filmmaking.
