"THE CELLULOID BORDELLO":
On tonight’s show we’ll be joined by filmmaker, writer, sex worker and sex work activist Juliana Piccilo to discuss her new documentary, The Celluloid Bordello, exploring the mythology of sex work as portrayed throughout film history. Since the dawn of cinema, sex workers have served as muses to movie-makers. From the early white slavery pictures like The Girl Who Went Astray, to countless dramas and rom-coms such as midnight Cowboy, Risky Business, and Pretty Woman, hookers, hustlers, call girls, street walkers and strippers have been staples of the silver screen. With historic overview, critique and homage, the film features real life domes, escorts, porn stars and hustlers to tell you which films they love, which ones they hate, and which ones get it right.
Hosted by Janet Coleman and David Dozer
