| - | '''Feminist pornography''' is [[pornography]] produced by and with [[feminist]] women. It is a small but growing segment of the [[pornography industry]]. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==Goals & views of participants== | ||
| - | According to [[Tristan Taormino]], "Feminist porn both responds to dominant images with alternative ones and creates its own iconography." | ||
| - | |||
| - | Some pornographic actresses such as [[Nina Hartley]], [[Ovidie]], [[Madison Young]], and [[Sasha Grey]] are also self-described sex-positive feminists, and state that they do not see themselves as victims of sexism. They defend their decision to perform in pornography as freely chosen, and argue that much of what they do on camera is an expression of their sexuality. It has also been pointed out that in pornography, women generally earn more than their male counterparts. Some porn performers such as Nina Hartley are active in the [[sex workers' rights]] movement. | ||

| - | ==Directors== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Feminist porn directors include [[Candida Royalle]], [[Tristan Taormino]], [[Madison Young]], [[Shine Louise Houston]], and [[Erika Lust]]. Some of these directors make pornography specifically for a female or [[genderqueer]] audience, while others try for a broad appeal across genders and sexual orientations. | ||

| - | Directed by Abiola Abrams in 2006, ''[[Afrodite Superstar]]'' is renowned as the first adult film directed by and for women of color. Other black female directors in adult film, in addition to [[Shine Louise Houston]], include Estelle Joseph - director of the award-winning ''City of Flesh'' series and Diana Devoe. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Swedish filmmaker [[Mia Engberg]] along with twelve different directors produced a collection of feminist pornographic short films titled ''[[Dirty Diaries]]'' which was released in September 2009. The financing for the most part came from the [[Swedish Film Institute]]. | ||
