Isabella Rossellini's Green Porno Educational Videos

Green Porno Educational Videos

By prawn1 June 4th, 2010

This is altogether surreal and weirdly delightful. Green Porno is a series of short films penned by and staring actress Isabella Rossellini. These educational videos take a look at the reproductive habits of various insects and marine animals, and whether she is getting her head eaten off as a praying mantis or has a massive whale erection, Rossellini plays all the characters with charm and wit.

Green Porno is scientifically accurate yet so cheeky and silly. Have a look at two of our favourite episodes below. They might be NSFW on the account of simulated sex and heavy breathing.

Bee

Whale

And see a few more after the jump.

Spider

Earthworm

Praying Mantis

Fly

Dragonfly

Firefly

Snail

In 2009, Green Porno won two Webby awards for best individual performance and best experimental online film. Since its inception in 2008, Green Porno has spanned three seasons, see more episodes and her latest sequence, Seduce Me, on the Sundance’s Green Porno channel.

i saw a bit of this on the Graham Norton show the other night.
she makes for a great male whale (man boobs aside), but a far cry from the front covers of glossy fashion magazines.

and i’m not entirely sure what this is in aid of, it’s a bit left-side to have a large enough scope for awareness. can’t see many parents wanting their kids to learn how ‘the beast with two backs’ is performed with this.

  I think it’s well done but like you I too am wondering about the target audience. Perhaps the students at the Waldorf school may appreciate it? It’s certainly a far cry from the sex education we got at school, which was in the form of medical photos featuring people with all sorts of venereal diseases. The closeups were especially heinous.

    ya we didn’t get any lovely pictures of std’s, all we got was a video of an abortion! i kid you not.
    
    at least it stopped me (and most other guys) wanting to get jiggy with the ladies… for all of 2 weeks that is.

      Sweet Jesus! This is not appropriate Friday talk. I’m going to have to redirect you to Serenading Unicorn.
