(W/HOLE) Episode 8 – Rent

Seated around a table, 7 performers sumptuously describe eating the food in front of them before devouring it, and each other.

Parts Authority, Trouble Clef, Papi Femme, Special Guest, Shay Knox, the Shape and Evie Snax pass around a bottle of wine as they discuss the smells, tastes and textures laid out before them. Clef takes a bite, and the desire hangs in the air for just a moment, before the other six dive in to fill their hands, mouths and stomachs. Snax crawls onto the table, becoming the feast as Knox dives down to eat her cunt and her ass. Papi and Parts feed and grope the writhing Snax as she cums into Knox’s mouth.

(W/HOLE) is an evening-length film created by queer/feminist porn collective AORTA films in collaboration with performance company the A.O. Movement Collective, exploring the incredible potency of queer hedonism, specifically how the authentic performativity of kink and queer porn can evolve trauma into orgasm, and grief into politically radical, transformative, body-based joy. The film investigates the complexity of pleasure, exploring the so-called obscenity of bodies in their most tremendous capacity—their glorious, illicit humanity.

(W/HOLE) premiered at the Invisible Dog Art Center and has won Best Film (Fiction) at the Vienna Porn Film Festival, Best Feature at the Hacker Porn Film Festival in Rome, additionally screening at the London Porn Film Festival (closing film), BRIEFS erotic short film competition, BU Festival, LADYFEST Maastricht, Los Angeles Underground Film Forum, SECS Fest, and the Berlin Porn Film Festival.
