The History of Hardcore (2002)


Director:
Martin Morrison 

Runtime: 52 min 

"A Television documentary commissioned by BBC Channel Four. The programme charts the history of hardcore pornography on film, dating back to the turn of the 20th century. Utilizing rare vintage archive, and original interview material of British and American pornographers, this documentary explores the parallels between mainstream cinema and hardcore porn, underlining the changes that have taken place in the industry since the advent of video, and following a veteran pornographer onto the set of his latest video offering. The focus here are the effects of x-rated movies released in Britain and censorship issues in the 60's and 70's in the US."
