Description:

"Indie Sex" is a documentary series that takes a look at how sexuality is depicted in independent film and also in the mainstream film industry. One key feature in the series is the commentary by actors, recording artists and directors of independent film. Each facet of the sexual spectrum is well documented through film clips, plus the commentary that helps convey the message of the series. Some people might think that it is a raw look at certain subjects that can only be seen in independent films. In the extremes installment of the series, the viewer can peer into the many subcultural themes that shape human sexuality.

Censorship is also discussed in this series on how nudity, violence and other mature subject matter that was in limited amounts for the past century. One key point in this episode is the discussion of the Hayes Code that was enacted in the Hollywood Film industry in the 1930's as part of the studio system. That began to decline by the start of the 1970's along with the emergence of the Adult Film Industry at the same time period. By the dawn of the slasher film era in the 1980's nudity was part of the mainstream.

Foreign films are a good drawpoint for undersrtanding sexuality, especially with the film directors from France. An Italian film director tried something a little more unsettling by depicting sexual assault on film that left some critics in a state of controversy. No matter where in the world a director is coming from, the idea of creating a story that reflects an insight into human sexuality on the silver screen is their focus.

The advent of home video rentals have given people the accessibility of watching these films in the privacy of ones home. Whether a coming of age story or something a little more edgier, Indie Sex covers it all in the documentary series.
