| WHEN is an erotic film festival not an erotic film festival? According to the Australian Sex Party, when it is in held in NSW.
On Wednesday the party will stage the nation's first Erotic Short Film Festival, but the party convener Fiona Patten says that because of censorship laws the films will not nowhere near as racy as desired by most party members. |
''All the films will be classified R-rated,'' Patten said of the black-tie fund-raising dinner, which will form part of the Sexpo festivities in Sydney this week.
''About half the submissions we got we had to reject because they had X-rated scenes in them.''
However, the event does boast an X-rated guest, in the form of the adult-film actor Sasha Grey, who recently made the crossover to mainstream cinema in the Steven Soderbergh film The Girlfriend Experience, part of this year's Sydney Film Festival.
Patten says Grey submitted one of her other films for Wednesday night's festival but it was also rejected ''on the grounds that it was just too explicit''.
Ms Patten said the party expected to sign up a host of new members from the 60,000 visitors expected at Sexpo.
