The Eros of the Twenties

The range of films in our film art video library is constantly growing. Come by, browse our shelves or let the team advise you. We also present a new acquisition here every month. Let’s start with VINTAGE LESBIAN EROTICA.

Did you know that a hundred years ago, countless erotic films were shown in big cities like Berlin, Paris and New York? From harmless nudies, so-called cheesecake flicks to hardcore porn? Not in cinemas, of course, but in the back rooms of bars or pubs.

The DVD VINTAGE LESBIAN EROTICA. presents a cross-section of this underground film culture: from cuddling opium smokers to orgies in a forest clearing: it’s all here. And no, the material has not been digitally polished. The scratches in the image document the wear and tear caused by cheap projectors.

So that the producers of such films didn’t end up in prison, they were kept completely anonymous. The names of the actors and actresses? Unknown. And the directors? No information on that either.

Perhaps you are wondering: What distinguishes the erotic films of that time from those of today? -Well, in the early films there is uninhibited improvisation and laughter! No competitive sport with a deadly serious face. Added to this is a confused, ‘avant-garde’ editing technique.

Conclusion: VINTAGE LESBIAN EROTICA offers cinematic gems for queer enthusiasts, Roaring Twentieth nostalgics and fans of the bizarre! A journey into a sub-history of film.
