DESTRICTED [er], v, 1. To unlimit restriction 2. To bring objectivity by putting out of restriction. 3. To deconstruct within bounds, to unconfine. Destricted is the first short film collection of its kind, bringing together sex and art in a series of short films created by some of the world’s most visual and provocative artists and directors. Explicit in content they reveal the diverse attitudes by which we represent ourselves sexually. Formed in 2004, Destricted is a platform for all forms of uncensored artistic expression; manipulating and embracing the expression of sex through art. The Destricted brand is the first in a continuing series. The seven films presented explore the fine line where art and pornography intersect. The films highlight controversial issues about the representation of sexuality in art; opening up for debate the question of whether art can be disguised as pornography or whether pornography can be disguised as art or something else altogether. The result is a collection of sexy, stimulating, challenging, provocative, strange and sometimes humorous scenarios that leave it up to the viewer / voyuer to decide. Destricted will premiere at the Tate Modern, London in September 2006 before being released on DVD and digital platform viewing. The series has been overwhelmingly well-received at select theatrical screenings, which have become events and experiences in themselves, provoking much debate within the shared audience environment.
