WATCHING LESBIAN PORN

Performance    Canada      2001    English      0:10:05           

A pornographic parody, that advocates the use of feminism as lesbian foreplay. This ten-minute videotape is directed specifically at a lesbian audience attending a screening at a gay and lesbian film festival. A monologue based tape, "Watching Lesbian Porn" situates feminism as a means of manipulation in the lesbian world of dating. Arming herself with a selection of feminist texts by the likes of Judith Butler, Luce Irigaray, Laura Mulvey, bell hooks and Andrea Dworkin, Mcleod describes to her audience how flexible these texts really are. During this monologue, two "porn star lesbians" go at it in a 70's bedroom set behind Mcleod. Ginger Discovery and Lucky Chops give over-the-top performances charged with campy choreography and slapstick. Far from being graphic this video censors the audience from seeing too much "sexually explicit content " by using Mcleod as a censor dot.
