GendErotica is... coming!
GendErotica 2015 è il passo successivo inevitabile e necessario di GendErotica Fem della scorsa edizione. Il progetto nasce da quell’immaginario, dalle sue suggestioni e dalle contraddizioni che ha aperto. E’ evidente, anche nella comunità queer, la difficoltà viscerale a rapportarsi con la Queer Femininity, perché l’immaginario (e i preconcetti) con cui ci si scontra/confronta sono quelli del femminile etero normato.
Sostienici!
GendErotica è no-profit, totalmente autoprodotta, autogestita e organizzata, vive del finanziamento dal basso e del sostegno di tutte quelle persone, associazioni, movimenti, collettivi, che hanno visto nel festival uno specchio in cui riflettersi per spostare il pensiero, moltiplicare le riflessioni, decostruire le semplificazioni. Per realizzare questo ambizioso progetto, abbiamo bisogno di chiunque abbia voglia di sporcarsi le mani con noi. Abbiamo bisogno di un gesto di complicità. Anche perché GendErotica sarà un luogo molto molto divertente in cui stare…

present
At 21, newly sober and recently evicted, Valerie Hager is invited by her best friend Raven to work at a strip club in Tijuana, Mexico. An evening that begins in innocence and excitement over making some easy cash seduces her into a 10-year career that tests the limits of friendship and her will to survive.
THEATER & KABARET
ARMSIDEA “Bozza Battonz Kabaret”
(Italy/Spain – italian premiere)
Valerie Solanas is primarily remembered for the attempted murder of andy warhol in 1968, in which she seriously wounded him with 3 gunshots. We, in contrast, want to remember her as the author of the s.c.u.m. manifesto, upon which we base our cabaret.
we take s.c.u.m. as a utopian space, as a state of mind. it openly declares war on our society, this soft prison system with invisible walls. furthermore, it attacks the american, or better, western dream and the hegemonic power of heterosexual, rich white men.
Jimmy is trying to quit romance, cold turkey. An exposing, funny and tender look at queer and trans relationships including run-ins with the anti-monogamy police, online dating mishaps and figuring out figuring out whether to throw out or reinvent mainstream relationship ideals. This smart, fast-paced take on dating in an age of social media and technology features visually stunning, highly interactive projections and sound.

"MOMMY IS COMING" by Cheryl Dunye
Winner of Good for Her – Feminist Porn Award 2012
World premiere at 62th Berlinale
Appearance to many International Film Festivals including Melbourne Queer FF, London LGBT FF, Cinemarge Bordeaux, Mix Copenhagen, pornfilmfestivalBerlin
(Germany, 2012, 67’ – Italian premiere)
MOMMY IS COMING is a raunchy queer sex filled romance set in the international creative melting pot Berlin. A take on screwball romantic comedies director Cheryl Duyne adds sexual imagery to her ingenious form of storytelling. Structured like an off beat fairy tale, we follow Claudia (the sexy Papi Coxxx), Dylan (Lil Harlow), and Helen (Maggie Tapert)as they bumble their way through hotels, queer Berlin nightlife and their hearts, only to realize that in matters of love it sometimes pays to listen to your Mommy.
“Some Like it Wrong”
Ingrid Berthon-Moine, Daniela Comani, Cécile Emmanuelle Borra, Stefania Gagliano, Sadie Memphis Hennessy, Lora Hristova, Christa Joo Hyun D’Angelo, Claudia Rossini aka Yamada Hanako, Alice Tatge
“Some Like it Wrong” explores the pornographic image through the lens of humour and indirect representation. The genitals disappear, multiply, become abstract... They are no longer the centrally perceived eroticism of the bodies. The image draws us into its deception, but its content continues to excite. Are the images essentially perverse or do we pervert the image? The works are displayed in unexpected places and ways in order to catch us by surprise.
Curated by Giulia Casalini / CUNTemporary.

CINEMA
CONIGLIO VIOLA
Recuperate le vostre radici quadrate
From video art to multimedia theatre, from electronic music to performance art, from net.art to photography, there are few areas of contemporary art that have not been explored and ironically subverted by the tentacular operations of CONIGLIOVIOLA: “Renaissance workshop of the digital era” and genuine “brand”.
At GendErotica they are going to present an extract from their last studio album. Recuperate Le Vostre Radici Quadrate gathers a selection of successess from the “most ferocious italian divas of the 80's”
