"SISTERHOOD" by Marit Östberg

(Germany, 2011, 47’ – Italian premiere)

A documentary about making queer feminist porn. Östberg talks to the key participants in the film Share and they discuss their motivations for and experiences of making queer feminist porn. The women, who have come to Berlin from other parts of the world, are inspiring in their commitment to making work that has a political agenda and through their articulate interviews present a reflexive and motivated feminist community in action. We understand in what ways this medium can be used as an important feminist and activist strategy.
