I was looking forward today to going to a cinema in the center of Berlin. I was looking forward to seeing a porn movie, a post porn movie, in a normal cinema. Tod Verow´s Bulldog in the White House. A gay movie, a very good one.

I was really excited, I had long waited for this moment to happen, after 30 years of X Cinemas, darkness and hiddenness. The emergence of a new approach to porn which has been labeled as post porn has made possible the Porn Film Festival. Three retrospectives will be screened in different cinemas around the city: Todd Verow, Maria Beatty and a retro of dutch cinema.

This is a historical moment and a political event, as it was the Deep Throat phenomeno in 1972. For the first time since porn cinema started, it was cool to go to the cinema to watch a porn movie. Thousands of people were queuing to watch the movie, and at the same time the laws were prosecuting and starting a legal battle against porn.

I was quite dissappointed because there was not many people in the cinema. Where were the queer people of Berlin? A lot of people came this weekend to the Post-Porn Politics Symposium, I really miss them today in the cinema.
