Short Fusion: Let's Talk About Sex

Sex is a topic that controls our world. For some it’s a taboo, for others pure joy and for some even a mystery.

LET’S TALK ABOUT SEX is a compilation of five short films that deal with this delicate subject in very different, but boldly honest ways. The clips from international origins vary a lot in style and context but definitely have their own charm each. Some can amuse, like MONSIEUR L’ABBE, by Blandine Lenoir, which shows letters to an open minded French priest in the 1930s, in which confused Catholics seek advice about delicate sexual matters. This film makes one grin about the naivety of last century’s good Catholics, but at the same time question the restrictions that the church puts on people. SIMPLY ROB, by Tom Shrapnel, offers a whole different side of the topic. Told in well sounding rhymes, Rob, a poet from the Bronx, tells the story about his infection with Aids and about his fight against it. His honesty and energy and will to educate through charity work  are simply amazing. Perfect for a late night cinema evening, the dreamlike LITTLE DEATHS, by Ruth Lingford, stuns with its simple but fascinating artwork and psychedelic soundtrack while people from every ethnic tell their deepest thoughts on the orgasm.

LET’S TALK ABOUT SEX is clearly no family programme, but open minded adults will certainly enjoy the cleverly produced clips. This versatile short film compilation that causes so different emotions at the same time is clearly worth watching!
