Pets (2012)
According to its director Albertina Carri, this is a “porno-terrorist political manifesto.” Made from archival images, mostly pornography dating from the 1920s to the 1970s, 'Pets' is a reflection on images and early pornography. Cinema and pornography could share a basic definition: they generate images that persist in the retina and create their own universes. Abject, clandestine, anonymous; what scenes, what fantasies did the camera obscura—the beginning of cinema, the precondition for porn—record in the early days?
