Isabella Rosselini's Green Porno

Isabella Rosselini has always been attracted to the wild side of cinema. From Blue Velvet to The Saddest Music in the World, Rosselini has never shied away from taking risks.

But she can always outdo herself: her latest project, Green Porno, is a series of very short films conceived, written, directed by and featuring Rosselini herself, about the sex life of bugs, insects and various creatures. The films are about how certain bugs 'make love'.

Each film is executed in a very simple childlike manner. They are a playful mixture of real world and cartoon. Each episode begins with Isabella speaking to the camera “If I were a…(firefly, spider, dragonfly etc.). She then transforms into the male of the species explaining in a simple yet direct dialogue the actual act of species- specific fornication. It's all very playful and colourful.

Green Porno is designed mainly for the 'third screen', that is mobile phonescreens, computers and ipods etc. Each film can be shown individually or strung together to make a series more suitable for television broadcast. It's produced by Rick Gilbert and Isabella Rossellini in association with Sundance Channel.

Those of you in America can see the film at the Sundance Channel website. The rest of us can only see a behind-the-scenes documentary as the film willl hit Europe in July and we can't see it until then. The costumes look amazing.

And here's a video interview Rosselini gave to CNN to help create a buzzzz about her film.
