- It took Silesian-born photographer Johann Schwarzer to make the scandalous -- but profitable -- move to female nudity. Schwarzer's one-man film company began production in a Vienna studio in 1906. It was the heyday of the Vienna Jugendstil -- or art nouveau -- movement, a style which focused on images of youth, spring, dance and femininity. Popular images of Oriental sensuality provided an exotic backdrop, making Saturn's "Veil Dance", "In the Harem" or "Slave Market" hits with cinema-goers, according to Caneppele. The occasionally collapsing stage prop did little to distract actors or audience from the action. "The films are comparable to the B-movies of the 50s and 60s," said Cannepele. "The motto was: keep on filming." http://www.trashcity.org/WEIRD/ODD033.HTM

Am Sklavenmarkt
Am Sklavenmarkt is a short 1907 Austrian pornographic film directed by Johann Schwarzer. It is possibly the first Austrian film ever made and one of the earliest films to use elements of pornography.
