Foreplay
What’s postpornography and what does it talk about? Who does porn, and how do they do it? Foreplay is a selection of shorts from other festival film sections intended to help you explore the wealth of festival narratives, and methods and strategies, for all those who are a little afraid, a little ashamed, but most of all would like to know what this is all about. We hope that it’ll whet your appetites, boost your curiosity, and encourage you to take a closer look at what the entire PPFFW has to offer.

Paloma Orlandini Castro Argentina 2021, 18’ An excellent example of progressive Latin American cinema, characterized by the delineation of new visual codes and the expansion of fields of interest in postpornographic art.
