"I Lost My Appetite"
In case you missed the announcement a couple weeks ago, Green Porno has been renewed for a 3rd season (and a book), and today is the official launch online, with the TV launch scheduled for next week (September 21st). As usual, the videos are educative and scientifically accurate, but they require a sense of humor and a taste for the surreal.

Here's the announcement from the Sundance Channel:

Like previous seasons of "Green Porno," this batch of short films about the reproductive habits of non-human species is scientifically accurate yet extremely entertaining. Executed with a handmade aesthetic, the films are a playful mixture of real world and cartoon. Each film features Isabella speaking directly to the camera about the creature at hand, and uses animation, paper cut-outs and puppets to illustrate its particular, often peculiar, mating strategies.

"Green Porno 3" introduces several new elements to the series as Isabella examines the routines of sea animals popular in human kitchens in the first three films of the series: "Bon Appetit: Shrimp," "Bon Appetit: Squid" and "Bon Appetit: Anchovy." The films also feature biologist Claudio Campagna, who talks about what we can do to keep our plates in balance with the sea. In the fourth film, "Harem on the Beach: Elephant Seal," Isabella explores the curious ways of the elephant seal and journeys to Argentinean Patagonia to see the animals in action. Here, too, she is joined by Campagna, who has studied elephant seals for 30 years.

You can see the new episodes online on the Sundance Channel Green Porno website.
