Screening of the 1981 film CAFÉ FLESH (18+).
Fundraising for the English Collective of Prostitutes
Stick around for the craft afterwards where we'll be making balloon animals out of condoms and chatting about the film!
Mask enforced event. Masks will be provided.
The Org:
ECP is "a grassroots organisation of sex workers and supporters campaigning for the decriminalisation of prostitution, for sex workers’ rights and safety, and for resources to enable people to get out of prostitution if they want to."
The Film:
After nuclear fallout, the US population is divided into sex positive or negative. 99% of people are sex negative people and get violently ill if they try to have sex, the remaining 1% perform on stage at joints like Cafe Flesh. Orginally conceived as a musical, the creators could only find funding for the film as a porno and filmed it stealing electricity for the light stage from a warehouse nearby.
We'll have a chat about safety tools beforehand and say hello to each other as a viewing audience because the film contains extended explicit sex scenes, but expect a lot of laughs both with and at this film that has interesting things to say about the act of watching sex as performance and pornography as a genre?????
