Silver Shoes

Three vignettes make up Silver Shoes, an award-winning film about the erotic charge that comes from clothing. What we wear can make us horny and Silver Shoes explores that via engaging characters, deep connections and explicit sex scenes. The three scenes are a lesbian scene, a solo masturbation scene and a straight sex scene but this is more than just a porn film. Each scenario builds up the tension and drama that lead to the sex; we know why people are horny and why they’re getting off.

Blue Artichoke Films is run by US-born, Amsterdam-based director Jennifer Lyon Bell. Jennifer’s films are described as “erotic film for people who like film”. Her movies are often built around clever ideas or compelling storylines, with the sex being an integral part of the drama rather than sex for the sake of it.

This award-winning explicit erotic trilogy intertwines three short stories about the carnal power of what we wear. Fun, bittersweet, surprising, and intimate, the stories may or may not be connected. It’s up to you to decide. In “Silver Shoes: Undressed,” AnnaBelle Lee discovers that her delicate friend (Liandra Dahl) is hiding a secret tough masculine side under her flowered clothes. In “Silver Shoes: The Housesitter,” a lonely young woman (AnnaBelle) has a surprisingly intense reaction to what she finds in the owner’s closet. And, in “Silver Shoes: Mimosa,” Liandra hosts a brunch party and one of her guests brings a handsome friend (newcomer Joost Smoss) with fabulous shiny trousers…but he has a surprise in store.

From Blue Artichoke Films

Official statement from the jury of the 2014 Feminist Porn Awards:
“With our final category, Movie Of The Year, we pay tribute to a film that has expanded the scope of what feminist porn can achieve as well as the audience that it can speak to. This film combines beautiful, spare production; poignant sexual exploration; real, human connection; and authentic orgasmic pleasure. The director used a sophisticated eye to perfectly frame each touch and caress, expertly highlighting the sizzling chemistry between performers and setting it all to a narrative that explores the bittersweet connectivity and dissonance of relationships. In other words: it’s got the total package!”
