Women have reached the top of the porn business. A daring statement? Not if you’ve seen what we have seen – the submissions to this year’s Porn Film Festival showed that there are more and more women creating films around female sexuality, lust or fetish. We invite five attending filmmakers to participate in a panel discussion and others interested in the subject to discuss with us if sex, porn, feminism, female self-confidence, new gender identities, and cliché-breaking experiments in film go together.
