PORN TO BE FREE is a provocative documentary that explores the sexual revolution from the 70's and 80's through the incredible genesis of porn from the first magazines, first photoshoots to the first porn stars. The film is directed by gay controversial Italian director Carmine Amoroso and has been produced in an entirely independent way, without the support of any institution or broadcaster. This is why the team behind the film is launching a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo to fund postproduction and make the film ready for festivals and theatrical distribution.
From Italy to Denmark and California, PORN TO BE FREE follows, in a light-hearted yet deep and political way, those who have made the sexual revolution possible. It is an archive and a social commentary on being sex positive in a society that prevents us from being sexually free. In the wake of the protest movement in 70's and 80's Europe, a freedom group of porn stars and filmmakers fought to break down social barriers and taboos in a continent that was still a prisoner of the catholic and communist sexual hypocrisy. The film features the main protagonists of that time, including porn star Cicciolina and her mentor and pornographer Riccardo Schicchi, pioneer director Lasse Braun, LGBT activist Helena Velena as well as key feminist figures Giuliana Gamba and Lidia Ravera. The film also reveals the story of an unpublished short porn animation by Charlie Hebdo's caricaturist Siné.
