There Are Things Going On

There Are Things Going On features ten feminist ethical porn films, highlighting the attention, detail, and care put into ethical porn production. This project arose from the observation of a lack of informative and enjoyable resources about sexuality in mainstream porn. While porn is not primarily educational, it can serve as a platform for learning about sex.

In a world saturated with porn, SAK researched the feminist and ethical porn industries and discovered the complexity of the production process. This includes diverse narratives, a focus on female pleasure, and careful consideration of lighting, costumes, makeup, and settings that enhance storytelling.

All content in There Are Things Going On is sourced from publicly available material on Erika Lust's website, a feminist erotic filmmaker. The found material is woven into a narrative that explores representation in ethical porn.
