Destricted

!f Istanbul seems to be great this year. This film ,Destricted,
described as

The films highlight controversial issues about the representation of sexuality in art; opening up the question of whether art can be disguised as pornography, pornography disguised as art, or something else altogether. The result is a collection of sexy, stimulating, challenging, provocative, strange and sometimes humourous scenarios that leave it up to the viewer/voyeur to decide.

And the other part that is worth-telling is that the people behind this film are the artists we write about on this blog.

Marina-or-Maria Abramovic, a performance artist from Balkans and Matthew Barney.
The director is Gaspar Noe, the director of Irreversible.
