We just wrapped up our session as part of The Festival of Really Good Sex 2018

“Learning how to give yourself permission to experience pleasure is a process many of us struggle with. Morgana Muses has been documenting her own journey from repressed, celibate housewife to award winning ethical pornographer at the tender age of 48 since 2012. This workshop will feature a selection of her erotic films which document her sexual exploration and feature an introduction and Q&A at the end of the screening.”

Josie and I had a fun day with a beautiful group of people, sharing my films and taking these interesting pictures of me while we had access to the projector. We can’t thank the team at the festival enough for putting on such a wonderful festival.
If you get a chance, we encourage you to attend the next one. You can sign up for their news letter here. The school runs events around Australia.

More fantastic news for Permisison 4 Pleasure. We have had both our 2018 projects selected for Toronto international porn film festival.

It is always an honour to have our work screen along side so many other amazing, creative and boundary-pushing artists and directors. We can’t wait to see what the festival holds this year. Check out the full screening details as they come out here

Our newest short documentary film Rituals + Worship  has scored an honorable best mention in the documentary category at Cinekink 2018. This film was made out of a passion for sharing intimate portraits of BDSM practitioners to help represent a wider array of sexualities, so we are absolutely thrilled it was received well. We of course must thank Caritia, our wonderful subject who was gracious enough to let us into her life and her work and who opened up to us and told us her story.

Morgana was featured as one of 10 women in Nat Ord’s new exhibition, Rise! 

Standing tall in vast and varied fields from community service and environment, to sport and entertainment, the women celebrated in Nat Ord’s environmental portraits have pushed boundaries and paved ways in their quest for voice, recognition and success. Morgana was also interviewed for the Border Mail along with some of the other subjects.

Wow, Rituals + Worship has been selected for another festival. We have been fans of the London Porn Film Festival since it began. Its commitment to accessibility is hugely encouraging. This year, we are lucky enough to have been selected and will be screened as part of the following session:

We’re not taking it lying down 

Time to rise up! Britain’s draconian censorship laws – made even worse with the addition of unsafe, data-mining age checks this year – are hitting hard against the queer porn scene. That makes our whole festival a political protest at its core, but this programme zooms in on films that directly deal with the politics of porn itself. Channeling sex workers’ realities, challenges to the hegemony of commercial porn and raucous pornoanarchic protests, this a call to join us and take on the censorship laws head-on!

Screening

Also, Bishop Black, the fabulous performer is featured as the special guest! (We collaborated with him back in 2015 on Having My Cake, and he is a legend)

We were thrilled to find out our new short experimental film, Labia of Love was selected to screen as part of the in competition, lesbian shorts program at the 2018 Vienna Porn Film Festival

Rituals + worship, our short doco featuring Caritia is having its world premiere this summer in Italy at Fish & Chips Film Festival in Torino. This sex positive festival which has their mission statement: “We believe in eroticism as a basic need of human beings and we want to show sex from different points of view, be they psychological, physical or social, but in any case liberating and non-discriminatory” which we love.

Recently I blogged about how the documentary about my life came to be.  Now the girls making it (Josie  Hess and Isabel Peppard) have gotten their website up and running. Morganadocumentary.com is live, it houses a bunch of information on the documentary project for those of you interested to know more.

We also recently were covered by the ABC in an article about myself and Josie and the documentary project ‘Morgana’ – how incestuous ;)

“I just found that once I reached a certain age and once I was married and had children that I was expected to just dwindle in the background and not be able to explore my desires,” Muses said.”

Read the full article here.

Josie and I are still pushing forward with our newest project Ritual & Worship, which has been on the back burner for a while as we prepare other projects. We sat down together yesterday to watch the newest cut and I am really excited to bring another unique representation of BDSM to the world when it comes out.

Slowly but surely we are working on our future projects as well. I have a bunch of fabulous ideas I want to explore in the coming years. You’ll have to stay tuned…
