A night of Nordic naughtiness from the heyday of Scandinavian smut, in two parts. Including peep show loops in the bar and onscreen acrobatics in the Nova theatre, we recreate the atmosphere of a 1970s night out in the red light streets of Stockholm and Copenhagen.
PART 1 / Jack Stevenson presents:
With the help of American film collector and Danish cinema executive Jack Stevenson, we pick a pornucopia of forbidden fruit from the far north: salacious trailers and outtakes on 16mm, followed by a full-length feature on 35mm.
THE DAUGHTER: I, A WOMAN PART III aka BLACK VOLTAGE
Birthe walks in on her mother having sex and is so freaked out she goes to bed with a black lesbian go-go dancer before falling in love with the dancer's brother. Incestuous desire and a nightclub full of racist hippies getting beaten up by neo-fascist rockers are the icing on the cake of this interracial romance.
PART 2 / The Erotic Fim Society Presents: SIZE ISN’T EVERYTHING – PORN ON 8mm
The night of Nordic naughtiness continues, celebrating the contribution that 8mm home movies made to the celluloid sexual revolution with some of the rarest, raunchiest reels to emerge from Sweden and Denmark during the swinging 1960s and 1970s. Between films, Dr. Oliver Carter (Birmingham City University) will recount tales of pioneering pornographers, while JJ Marsh provides a Scandinavian mixtape to accompany the onscreen antics.
