Isabella Rossellini's Green Porno Short Films Hit the Big Time

Sundance Channel Secures International Rights to Green Porno
We wrote about Isabella Rossellini's 8 highly surreal short-films about the sex life of insects, Green Porno, a while ago:
"If you've ever wondered how bees have sex (not as romantic as you might think), or wondered about the sadomasochistic habits of snails, these are for you (though, just as fair warning: the videos make mention of the organs and acts required to accomplish reproduction)."
Now that Sundance has acquired the rights, audiences outside of the USA will be able to enjoy these highly educational, if unorthodox, films.
The place to go, if you are interested (click at your own risk! Those without a sense of humor should probably abstain) is Sundance's Green Porno website.
There's even a quiz that tells you "what kind of green porno star you are." The goal is to allow you to "uncover your inner bug" and find out which insect your mating rituals are closest too. M'kay...
