Sex at the time of the plague

The pandemic has affected artistic environments working with the body and sexuality in a particular way. Sanitary rules and restrictions have limited the possibilities of creating further projects, impacting both performers and those on the other side of the camera. They enforced an interesting transformation of postporn narratives and a focus on intimate projects, told from the perspective of one person or exploring the inner experiences of artists. Films presented in this section are an important testimony to a particular time, but also demonstrate methods of taming the traumatizing effects of the sudden change in the paradigm of the world as we knew it before. It is possible that some postpandemic narratives will stay with us for longer and as such, they surely deserve our attention.
