Isabella Rossellini
I have to admit, it's a pretty catchy title, but Green Porno is not your average porn. It's insect porn, so to speak. It's a short film series from Isabella Rossellini, and will be premiering on sundancechannel.com and HELIO's mobile service in May.
Meant to be shown individually or as a series, the "Green Porno" films are a comical, but insightful study of the curious ways certain creatures "make love." The inventive costumes and colorful sets contribute to the playfulness of the films. Their graphic look was specifically conceived for smaller screens such as cellular phones, computers, and various mobile devices.
"I've always been interested in animals and animal behavior," said Rossellini. "I wanted people to laugh, but then to leave and say, 'Wow, I didn't know about that.' That was my green intervention. It was to make people aware of animal life."
