Erotic Tales: PORN.COM
Veteran film director Matty Bonkers, a Hollywood legend, arrives in Berlin for an honorary retrospective tribute.
While introducing his film Mockery, he receives a phone call from his producer lying in intensive care at a
hospital. Blau needs a favor for old times’ sake. Could Matty finish a porn movie before his legs get broken by
Tokyo Tony? Matty reluctantly agrees. On the set, he meets movie star and ex-cello player Inga – and the
experience is bizarre, spirited, and uplifting – a comédie humaine.

Bob Rafelson, born in New York City in 1933, is a compulsive drifter
and a Hollywood maverick. After graduating from Dartmouth College, he
started writing for television, adapting stage productions for Play of the
Week. With Bert Schneider and Steve Blauner, he formed BBS Productions,
the company which produced such hits as Easy Rider and The Last
Picture Show. Rafelson made his directorial debut with Head (1968), a
rock film featuring the Monkees. Two years later, he made Five Easy
Pieces (1970), which won him the Best Director Award from the New York
Film Critics. His other films include: The King of Marvin Gardens
(1972), Stay Hungry (1977), The Postman Always Rings Twice
(1981), Black Widow (1986), Mountains of the Moon (1990),
Man Trouble (1991), Blood and Wine (1996) and Poodle
Springs (1998). The sequel to Wet (1994), a classic in the Erotic Tales
series, PORN.COM features Rafelson in his first major acting role.
Verkehrsinsel – as in ”Traffic Island“ – as in ”Middle of the Road“ – as in Why Don’t We Do It in the Road?
Shot on Potsdamer Platz, the busiest corner in New Berlin, this is where a young couple decide to exercise their
sexual fantasies by ”doing it“ on some public place, just beyond the pale of voyeurs and eavesdroppers.
Eoin Moore, born in 1968 in Dublin, Ireland, moved to Berlin in
1988, where he worked as a soundman and freelance cameraman.
He studied at the German Film & Television Academy Berlin (dffb),
graduating with the film Break Even (Plus Minus Null, 1997)
– winner of the Director’s Promotional Award at Munich 1998 and the
Jury Special Prize at the Torino International Festival of Young
Cinema 1998. His other films include: So oder so (short, 1992),
Child of Light (documentary, 1992), Digital Video Ballet
(short, 1993), Driver (short, 1993), Loops of Infinity (short,
1994), Der Duft des Mannes (short, 1994), Storm Rising
(short, 1995) and 9 1/ 2 Minuten (short, 1996), Trance (1996)
and Conamara (2000). Moore also received the Promotional
Award at Saarbrücken 1999.
