Destricted is a 2006 anthology film that explores the line where art and pornography intersect. The United Kingdom and United States film releases had overlapping but different short art-house erotic films. The film collection won awards at a range of international film festivals.[1]

Releases

The UK version released in 2006 runs at 114 minutes and includes seven short films:[2]

  • Balkan Erotic Epic (Marina Abramović, 13:04) - An erotic comedy about myths from the Balkans about sex organs.
  • Sync (Marco Brambilla, 02:15) - Consists of very fast cuts from different porn films.
  • Impaled (Larry Clark, 37:28) - A casting for a porn film, but not with the insecure women often displayed, instead with insecure young men.
  • Death Valley (Sam Taylor-Wood, 08:25) - A man masturbates in the desert.
  • House Call (Richard Prince, 12:29) - A vintage sex scene recontextualized with edits and music.
  • Hoist (Matthew Barney, 14:37) - A juxtaposition of sexuality and industrial machinery.
  • We Fuck Alone (Gaspar Noé, 23:31) - A man and a woman masturbate to the same porn film in different rooms.

The US version (2010) runs at 129 minutes and includes eight shorts, four from the earlier plus four new ones: Marilyn Minter's Green Pink Caviar, Cecily Brown's Four Letter Heaven, Clark's Impaled, Noé's We Fuck Alone, Prince's House Call, Sante D'Orazio's Scratch This and Tunga's Cooking.[1] It excludes Balkan Erotic Epic, Sync and Death Valley.
