"We Czechs are one of the best in porn in Europe. We are a brave nation that likes to have fun. That's why I think Czechs are very close to erotica. A few of us can even show it on camera." - Lutro.
The Czech Republic has an indelible place in the history of the porn industry. According to data from 2013, the Czech Republic is ranked third in the list of countries of origin of porn actresses. The documentary series PORNO! shows why this was the case and how it is today through the lives of porn actor Lutro and porn actress Isabella de Laa. Instead of making moral judgements, the six-part series tries to answer the questions of who the people are who make a living from this controversial work, how it affects their personal and partner lives, and how they cope with society's prejudices.
I started developing the documentary series Porno! in 2021, right after I finished the documentary series Trans*. My goal was to secure TV funding for the project, as up until then I had only had experience in the online environment. It took two years for Prima TV to give a no-name director a chance to produce such a controversial documentary for them.
According to the TV program management it was not a mistake. Fortunately.
