SEX IS VIOLENCE is a new short film by award-winning writer/director Patrick Kennelly. Set in a late 90s time created purely in the mind of a mid-80s cyber-punk writer, SEX IS VIOLENCE is a speculative Mobius strip sex thriller centered around a director filming the last scene of his fifteen years in the making personal opus. Inspired by the work of Andrzej Zulawski, Abel Ferrara and Rainer Werner Fassbinder, SEX IS VIOLENCE opens up a Pandora’s Box of lies and sexual negotiation, contemplating voyeurism, misogyny, and the crumbling marriage between physical decay and virtual immortality.
