A Passion for Cinema

French indie adult filmmaker Anoushka has taken the International porn film festival world by storm with her comedic drama, VIVANTE. The film has screened at PornFilmFestivals in San Francisco, Athens, and Vienna PornFilmFestival, at Seattle’s renown SECS Fest, at Excentrico Festival in Chile, and was the Closing Night Feature Film at the PornFilmFestival Berlin.

The feature-length film stars a delectable ensemble of young porn performers with acting and dancing talents, including Romy Furie, Bebe Melkor-Kadior, Bishop Black, Marie Lea Kinka, Misungui, Pia Ribstein, Rico Simmons, and Yumie Volupte. The entourage have repeated appearances in Anoushka’s subsequent films and she considers the group her porn family.

VIVANTE is the love story of Charlotte and Lou, and her physical and mental recovery after a traffic accident. Lou will come back to life through love, her passion for dance, as well as through sex, with the help of a sex worker dedicated to supporting people with disabilities.

In this new production, Anoushka explores themes that are uncommon in pornographic cinema, including disability, sexual assistance, and self-acceptance. Learn about the film in Anoushka’s own words as she shares about her work.

Anoushka has worked in alternative porn since 2014, starting alongside pioneering French director Ovidie, and later pursuing her own films inspired by her passion for cinema. Anoushka uses narrative, original music, and sincerity in her approach to sex scenes and likes dramatic and intimate comedies.
