Amber

Sensate Films

15 min. Directed by Frank Ly, Gala Vanting
Description:

Content Warning: This episode depicts BDSM scenario potentially triggering to survivors of sexual assault.

‘Amber’ was the first ever Sensate Film, and may remain our favorite forever (shhh, don’t tell the others). ‘Amber’ was conceived the day before it was shot by Frank Ly and Gala Vanting, the friends and co-creators who star in the film. The product isn’t at all what we had expected, but the essence of their love and mutuality is potent and palpable. ‘Amber’ addresses BDSM play outside of the tropes of standard fetish filmmaking, bringing a warmth to what is often seen by outsiders as a cold, cruel mode of exchange. It also addresses the equity that exists between top and bottom, dominant and submissive, and holds reverence for the connections and intuitions that are possible in the playspace.

Directed by Gala Vanting and Frank Ly
