MISSION STATEMENT
Rated X wants to address and reflect the shifting, moving nature of the erotic in cinema, video and other media.
We want to suggest a rich and positive series of alternatives to easy assumptions about sexuality because the erotic always transgresses categories, places and times: there is no single privileged moment in history, single gender, single media, or single “pornography” but a wide variety of individual and collective attempts that try to define the complexity of sexuality while playing with it.
Rated X embraces all ambiguity in sexual representation, and welcomes a wide spectrum of genres: short and feature film, documentary, experimental, sexploitation, porn, sex education, animation, video-art and more.
Our carefully selected program features an entertaining and challenging selection of works that show the depth and range of cinematic approaches to sexuality.
Rated X aims to bring across an engaging and positive message towards the issue of the representation of sexuality on film and/or by other artistic means and welcomes the establishment of an ongoing healthy discourse over this complex issue and other similarly oriented subjects.
