"Sexcanon" is an internet term that denotes the individual interpretations or personal speculations regarding the sexual dimensions of characters within fictional narratives.
In a vast exploration of cultural representations, traveling through time and echoing contemporary pop culture references, the showcased films engage with and appropriate the iconic figures that populate our collective imagination. From ancient mythical beings like Priapus to modern-day cultural icons such as Barbie and Ronald McDonald, the filmmakers unveil and scrutinize entrenched social norms, imparting fresh connotations to these cultural artifacts or infusing them with an erotic resonance. Delving into the ideological substrata that underpin these inherited archetypes, the medium of pornographic cinema offers a platform for a politically charged reexamination through acts of appropriation aimed at subverting established symbols and unveiling them anew with nuanced significations.

THE MAN WHO PERCEIVES ALL
Emre Busse / DE / 2024 / 8min / DCP / OV EN, DE ST FR🇧🇪 Belgian Premiere
In his provocative new work of existential science fiction, Emre Busse invites his audience to question the meaning of “the gaze” as part of the post-human experience by replacing the eyes on the face with the orifice. This jarring visual and switch from the literal to the metaphorical leaves the protagonist to redefine his own human desires while reinventing his new self. In this new, surreal world of customizing sexual desires, one is left to question why they have been programmed to accept the bare minimum of their deepest desires in the first place!
