Fetishes
Nick Broomfield and a documentary crew visit Pandora's Box, an up-scale house of bondage on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue, where clients pay $175 an hour to be subservient to mistresses. Mistresses talk about their craft; a few clients, usually masked, are interviewed as well. Then, the camera watches sessions organized around fetishes: rubber, wrestling, corporal punishment, masochism, and infantilism. Mistress Raven, the owner of Pandora's Box, explains that pain need not be part of the subservient experience: it is, at its root, a transfer of power. After their session has ended, clients talk about how drained, relaxed, relieved, and at peace they are.

Writer of O
Published in Paris in 1954, Story of O was an immediate bestseller and literary scandal: an elegantly written S&M fantasy that had all the hallmarks of being an autobiographical account by the pseudonymous Pauline Réage. In 1994 Dominique Aury, a mild-mannered, dowdy editor for France’s prestigious Gallimard press, revealed her authorship. Pola Rapaport explores Aury's inspiration, recreating the world of '50s literary Paris and setting it against dramatic sequences that bring the infamous book to life. The author as well as various French intellectuals expound on the thorny relationship between sexuality and power, submission and freedom, liberation and non-being.

Kink Shame Kink Shame Kink Shame
Wild sex, fetish, and kink culture has never been so prevalent in the mainstream. Sex work is all over social media, musicians use kink as an aesthetic, and porn stars are becoming celebrities. This commodification is trying to water down and hijack what is a truly rebellious and alternative scene for the sexual misfits of society. As the astroturfed mainlining of girl boss fetish content spreads, there exists another world that stays true to the origins of extreme kink / fetish culture. Specifically in Britain, a more underground and loosely connected scene is thriving. They want to keep kink raw and real. These people, however, are being derailed by new laws and thieving creators. Away Days spent months exploring this sexual fetish underground. This will shock you.
