PULLED BY HER
Short film
Berlin
2021-2022
The protagonist of the film is a Berlin-based queer performer LoFi Cherry, who participates in the Berlin porn scene as an actor, producer, and workshop organiser. In this short film, LoFi Cherry first explains and then shows how she lets her vulva lead her. She resists the conventional standards of prettiness and explores her own way of feeling aroused. The audience is invited to see her creative process of what it takes to create a queer porn film, starting from the performer's contemplation of their take on sex and sexuality to full-on action and ending with a reflection on how it felt to perform.
