The interview with our special guest, Bob Bentley, BAFTA award winning producer and the director of “The Pleasure of Rope” which was screened at 1st Cherry Pop Film Festival.
His feature documentary explores the Japanese art of rope bondage and the people who practice it, sometimes obsessively. Kinbaku, also called Shibari, has origins in the medieval world. Almost forgotten, it has since been rediscovered in modern times, growing from a niche practice on the BDSM scene into a popular passion for many men, women and couples in Japan and throughout the West.
ABOUT FESTIVAL
The Cherry Pop Film Festival is an international short film competition that aims to explore sexuality, gender and relationships through the eyes of filmmakers from all over the world.
The Festival took place June 2-4 2022 at Urania theater in Zagreb and online on-demand.
Sexuality is just another form of human interaction, just like film, so don’t be shy and come to the first Cherry Pop Film Festival – we don’t mind if others participate in our first time!
The Cherry Pop Film Festival’s dual aims are to offer a glimpse into people’s thoughts and feelings about sexuality conveyed through the medium of film and to curate a selection of the best of student film, affording audiences an opportunity to see the future filmmakers take their first cinematic steps.
