Isabella Rossellini Brings Green Porno to Benaroya Hall

Starting in 2008, actress, writer, and filmmaker Isabella Rossellini began producing a series of wacky but deeply touching short films called Green Porno for the Sundance Channel, each episode exploring the sex lives of the sort animals we interact with daily. The films have a charmingly low-budget sort of look, replete with lots of cardboard sets and nutty costumes, and reinforced with willfully cheesy cuts and Rossellini's guileless interest in her subjects' libidos. They're delightful on the one hand, passionate on the other, and one of the most compelling bits of educational filmmaking to come along in ages.

Tonight, Seattle Arts & Lectures is bringing in Rossellini to discuss Green Porno at Benaroya Hall at 7:30 p.m. (tickets available at the box office starting at 6). Rossellini has also recently released a book/DVD combo on the project, which is in its third season.
