"Jury motivation: This film takes us to an intersectional view of pornography. With the director’s female gaze on gay holes and male vulnerability, this film is questioning and transgressing heteronormative power dynamics in Japanese erotic heritage. The director’s choice to frame this kinky story mostly in one wide shot, always from the same perspective is reflecting on Asian cinematic tradition in contemporary BDSM exploration. This film also extends humor from very disciplined desire and adds another layer to camp culture."

In 2019, multi-disciplinary artist WOO YEAH invited Axel to Seoul, South Korea, for an extraordinary, unexpected art performance.

Inspired by his personal experience of Berlin’s wild hedonism, as well as movies like ‘Eyes Wide Shut’ and ‘Salò’, the director created this shocking, ritualistic mashup of high-culture and low, a classical concert punctuated with extreme sex.

In this intriguing and erotic documentary, WOO YEAH takes us back to that unique night, discussing with stage partner Axel Abysse the personal inspirations that led to his creation: a conversation about cultural differences, the inner struggle of not belonging to mother country, serving the flag, and balancing creativity with sheer pleasure.
