The Pier and Porno - Double feature The Piern and Porn
The Pier - Argentina/Australia, Dir Leandro Palacio, 2007, 5 min
Directed by Filmoteca’s own Leandro Palacio, and filmed in evocative Super-8, The Pier is a love story set on one of Melbourne’s most beloved landmarks, St Kilda Pier.
Porno - Argentina, dir. Homero Cirelli, 2006 – 86min
The title says it all. A bunch of people head to the countryside to make a blue movie, and Porno is the unflinching record of their experiences. But don’t expect cheap thrills or titillation – this intriguing documentary goes beyond the explicit to give us a new and unexpected angle on an age-old pursuit.
