I Was a Jewish Sex Worker is a humorous, no-holds-barred autobiographical film about the director’s former career as a sex worker and his relationship with his Jewish family.   From graphic, erotic massages to a revealing interview with his grandmother, Roth tells a unique tale and explores themes of sexual wellness, connection and self-realization. Featuring guest appearances by German filmmaker Rosa von Praunheim and sexologist/performer Annie Sprinkle.

16mm, b/w and color, 75 min.

Annie Sprinkle's Amazing World of Orgasm (2004)


Directed by Annie Sprinkle, Sheila Malone.

Artist, sexologist, educator and thespian Annie Sprinkle offers her unique perspective on sexual joy in this unbridled exploration of the orgasm.  Fun, freewheeling and explicit, the informative documentary gathers numerous experts and adventurers of virtually every gender identity and expression for a far-ranging exploration of the big “O.”  Parsing science, mysticism, creativity, even tackling the “fake” orgasm, this documentary celebrates the pleasure that is everyone’s birthright.

Digital video, color, 50 min.
