THE CELLULOID BORDELLO
by JULIANA PICCILLO
2019 / U.S. / 85’ / Documentary

Saturday 24th September h. 11.00 @Cinema Massimo

Sex workers and the big screen: a liaison marked by cultural misunderstandings, stereotypes and biases which has been lasting since the dawn of cinema. A universe described with dark hues, dominated by overwhelming, exploitation and despair… but what about those who live such a working condition by choice, what do they think about it? A metacinematic documentary that also tells us something about the society in which we live.

 Followed by a meeting with sex worker Elettra Arazatah and film historian and lecturer Giulia Muggeo on the topic of the portrayal of sex work in the film industry.
