While pornography conveys the monolithic image of an obscene and apolitical medium that is a hotbed for the eroticization of all kinds of discriminations, it is rarely perceived as a professional field. However, some professionals have been questioning for many years the issue of subordination and consent on sets, developing innovative work practices, implementing health regulations, and designing ethical charters.

To shed light on the current reflections in this filmic field, female pornographers discuss their practical experiences and perspectives on the subject: Anoushka, a French director of films produced by the Canal+ group, the porn performers and producers Vex Ashley, from the conceptual pornography collective Four Chambers, Mariska from the Belgian production company Arcanii, Eva Vocz, advocacy officer for Act Up-Paris and co-founder of the company Puppy Please.

In addition, researchers Florian Vorös and Béatrice Damian-Gaillard will analyze how political and media debates instrumentalize certain recent events that occurred in the French porn industry, for purposes of censorship and legislation aimed at restricting this sector of representations.
