Pornography In Denmark July 21, 2011

Directed by legendary San Francisco porn pioneer Alex de Renzy, this semi-documentary about a sex expo in Copenhagen is the film that started it all. Though numerous legal problems ensued, de Renzy got away with screening the film because of its supposedly "redeeming social value" as a portrait of a country that had recently outlawed sex censorship and legalized pornography. It is said to have grossed over $2 million. (1969, 90 min, 16mm)
