Amzing clip by daumenkino.com / ingo dittmann + bjoern scholl in association with my friend KRISTYAN GEYR (geyrimages.com). They shot this sensual teaser for Boudoir Berlin with a Canon D5. I want a crew like this for my next movie!

I’ve just rediscovered this short clip by Gaspar Noe, shot in 2005. It’s beautiful.

Yesterday we shot a new short movie, that will propably be called “handcuffs”. It’s a mix between pictures and video, you’ll see :) In the picture above, the actors: Natalia París y Paco Roca. And more pictures here

Be ready because it’s going to be very innovative and very sensual, like everything we do!

In a new film of startling power and unsettling intimacy - produced exclusively for wallpaper.com - video artist and photographer Robbie Cooper shoots back at porn aficionados lost in ecstatic release.

It’s a pice about me and my work that BALZAC.TV did a few months ago, but now it has French and English subtitles!

Daab, the German publisher has just launched the book LOVE DESIGN full of new, trendy, innovative and erotic products and ideas around sex.

The book was presented in the recent Milano Furniture Fair

Fast Company Magazine says ” Why is sex stepping up alongside sofas and sconces at this year’s fair? For one thing, sex toys have become a big business, and Milan is all about business. They may also be seen as an antidote to the downbeat mood which will no doubt oppress both the sprawling fairgrounds and the modest exhibitions tucked in the back of courtyards. As the coverage gets under way in the weeks ahead it’s likely some reports will spin Love Design as a sign that the design community is searching for a human touch after years of modernist austerity”

“Bonk” author Mary Roach delves into obscure scientific research, some of it centuries old, to make 10 surprising claims about sexual climax, ranging from the bizarre to the hilarious. Via TED

Good Vibrations, the legendary San Francisco-based company that takes pride in providing accurate information on sexuality and toys for grown-ups, just launched IXFF: The Second Coming Tour, a national (USA only!) road show of the Independent Erotic Film Festival’s best shorts.

Debuting in 2006 as the Good Vibrations Amateur Erotic Film Competition at San Francisco’s historic Castro Theatre, the competition became a full-fledged Film Festival in 2008 with national and international shorts rounding out the winning entries.

This Spring, Good Vibrations is selecting the very best of past entries from its Independent Erotic Film Festival (IXFF) and taking it on the road as The Second Coming Tour. Indie filmmakers share their interpretation of erotic with sexy shorts (ten minutes or less) ranging from smutty to arty and comedic to serious.

Each night of erotic cinema begins with a brief History of Porn by Good Vibrations Staff Sexologist and Chief Cultural Officer, Dr. Carol Queen, PhD. An entertaining sex educator, author and activist, Dr. Queen will provide an educational, historic, and cultural examination of an era gone by, illuminating its inception and development.

Film.com has made an interesting compilation of 50 monologues in the movies. And to be original and gentle with us the ladies, they included just 3 women, a tiny 6%.  ¿What is lacking here? Good female characters in the scripts, women writing scripts, women directing movies, women producing movies, men and women thinking in giving chances to other women, women complaining more about issues like this. We are really far from being represented in an acceptable percentage in the entertainment industry!

Despite the minimum feminine representation in these monolgues, here I give you the link to the website and the youtube clips, because some of the speeches are unforgetable.
