If you weren’t there this weekend (like me), you missed out on Hong Kong’s latest film festival. And this one might have been worth going to. No kung-fu movies this time, this was all ‘me-fuck-you’ films.
Actually that’s not completely true. But the festival was all films about prostitutes, told by the [tag]prostitutes[/tag] themselves. Evidently the idea is to combat some of the stereotypes found in mainstream movies. Not all prostitutes are victims or predators, and the nine films shown during the festival were chosen for their portrayals of the day-to-day lives of some of these [tag]sex workers[/tag].
An ironic twist is that while prostitution is not illegal in Hong Kong, it was illegal to hold this festival without proper licensing, which was demanded with a few days notice and which could easily have been denied to them.
The good news is that the organizers were smart enough to get around the permit requirement at the last minute by making it a private, members-only activity. Ticket buyers just had to join Zi Teng, the local sex workers support group.
Nice, you leave with a ticket stub, a program guide, AND membership in a Hong Kong Sex Workers group. See, I told you this one might have been worth going to.
We’re not just going to tell you about things worth seeing. Sometimes we’ll pass along warnings that there are some things you may not want to waste your time watching.
The movie, I Am a Sex Addict, from director/writer/star Caveh Zahedi, sounds like one of those we’re going to stick in the “didn’t see it” file.
You can read the whole review at the link below if you want more details, but here are two quotes from it that pretty much say it all:
Most of Zahedi’s film plays out like this: Zahedi gets a girlfriend, confides in her that he wants a blowjob from a prostitute, goes and does it, problems ensue. Repeat.
and…
Turns out that Zahedi’s a selfish prick. By the time we get to the self-involved Zahedi’s teary catharsis, I didn’t sympathize with him so much as I felt like an egocentric asshole had cornered me at a party and had been whining at me for an hour and a half.
Watch this one if you want. But then don’t say we didn’t warn you.
(And if you do happen to see it, post a comment here to let us know whether you agree or disagree with what we said here. Thanks!)
