Title:

The Porn Police are STILL at the Door

Your vote:
Yes No
Organizer:
Lisa Vandever, CineKink
Description:
Sexual portrayals remain surprisingly restricted today, despite any thoughts that a Democrat in the White House might allow a loosening of standards. In light of expanded federal regulations, anyone working with images of sexual conduct – both real and simulated -- needs to know the rules and the risks.
Questions
Answered:
  1. What are the basic record-keeping requirements for sexually explicit material?
  2. To whom do these requirements apply - filmmakers, bloggers, webmasters?
  3. What's the reasoning behind these requirements?
  4. What are some examples of their effects in the day-to-day world?
  5. What are some other other restrictions on the depictiion of sexual conduct?
  6. Does it matter whether or not I restrict my audience to adults?
  7. How does online access/distribution of materials affect the situation?
  8. Obscenity laws have been on the books for a long time, but has anyone been convicted recently?
  9. What about my right to free speech?
  10. What are some resources for additional information and advocacy support

Also relevant to interactive attendees and not just for pornographers, the notion for this panel grew out of my work curating the CineKink film festival, which is devoted to works dealing with sex and sexuality. I saw that entries submitted by filmmakers from the adult sphere typically included notice that federal record-keeping requirements for sexually explicit material had been properly met, while those coming from the independent film world did not. (If you’re thinking “2257, huh?” that would probably be you!)

Making matters worse, the regulations have recently been expanded to cover not just actual or documentary depictions of sex, but simulated situations—ie fiction—as well. Yikes, you say? Come find out more!
