Exotica Loom is an experimental film collective. We aim to create a space for exploration on concepts related (but not exclusive) to sexuality and sexual expression, as well as experimenting with cross-boundaries, cross-genre and censorship. We use our understanding of affection as a political weapon.
EXOTICA LOOM was founded in 2012 by film director Lola Clavo (PorYes Award) and visual artist Mariana Portela Echeverri.

Flowing, as a stream; smoothly, easily and readily; fluid.
An experimental mashup porn film. A succession of non-prototypical bodies with a scratchy grain and a 90’s quality.
Run. time: 5min - UK, 2015.
Corpuscle is a treasure hunt.
HD 4min 45sec
Corpuscle synopsis by MIX NYC:
" Get ready for your close up: a slow, bassy synth pulses through this monochromatic fantasy orgy. Body hair, bellies and packages are on full display. High contact, skin to skin. Part hairy, part shaved, testosterone-driven treasure hunt. Pinch me."
FLUENT at La Fete du Slip
As part of the Porn Competition - Section Ariane
Screened along some excellent films and filmmakers, such as Toytool Comittee, Gala Vanting’s “Vital Signs”, the latest Fucking Baked series episode from Lucie Blush, the cinematic “Last Call”, the erotic experimental gardening from “Family Business” or the post internet wonder that is Antonio Da Silva. Lots of other very interesting films all over this new festivals that is becoming a reference very very quickly!
