Vice & Consent
"The art of wrapping intimacy in very scary paper"
Synopsis
BDSM (Bondage/Discipline, Dominance/Submission, Sado-Masochism) wraps the gift of intimacy in very scary paper. In VICE & CONSENT, long standing and respected BDSM community members reveal a fascinating and unexpected truth under that wrapping. During the two year production of this feature length documentary, filmmaker Howard Scott Warshaw immersed himself in San Francisco’s BDSM "Scene"and discovered the humanity that defines this rich subculture. From behind his camera, Warshaw tests the boundaries between public and private, culture and subculture. The relentless candor, wit and wisdom of the voices in VICE & CONSENT shatter popular myths about BDSM practice and its practitioners. VICE & CONSENT exposes the truth about something most people believe they already know. VICE & CONSENT was shot entirely in DVCAM format with a SONY PD-170 camcorder and edited in Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5.
