PRODUCT INFORMATION
VINTAGE EROTICA 1930
Artists have explored the erotic image since the beginning of time. On the walls of caves, on Hindu Temples, in ancient scrolls, humans have celebrated the sexual act. Cinema is no stranger to eroticism, but there is a mistaken belief that erotic cinema is an invention of the past fifty years. In order to dispel this myth we present this archive of erotic images captured by our "grandfathers camera."This DVD includes two hours of French erotica from the 1920's and 30's and features all aspects of soft-core, hard-core, straight, bi, gay and fetish imagery. Made in France, these films feature lush backdrops and exotic costumes with settings ranging from the Orient to the era of the Musketeers. Filmed by professionals as well as amateurs (like the mysterious Mr. X) these films prove that erotica cinema is as old as cinema itself.

VINTAGE EROTICA 1940
Be it painting, sculpture, engraving or lithography, each time a new art form is born, it 's not long before artists use it to express their erotic or pornographic fantasies. Photography and Cinema were no exception. In succession of the Cult Epics release of the 1930's, we continue our Vintage Erotica series with rare erotic films from the 1940's, a time when half of the world was at war. Made in France, this collection starts out with a series of lesbian films, followed by XXX-rated parodies of Santa Claus and hospital nurses, as well introducing body painting, nudist camp films and spanking, which became very popular in the 50's.

VINTAGE EROTICA 1950
20 Years before the rise of 1970's hardcore films in the U.S., the commercial pornography produced by the French unleashed a new era of Erotic Cinema. Suddenly, unlike the common "stag" films of the time, scripts, multiple camera angles, and title credits were introduced into erotic productions. These extended 15-minute films were intended for private viewing in the back rooms of stores, in homes, and at local brothels. The themes of many of these films were bondage and burlesque; images similar to those produced by Irving Klaw in the U.S. The main difference being that in France the filmmakers would show on-camera sex, and nudity. These films stand out, not only for being ahead of their time, but because they transcend the standards of much of what is being produced today.
