Film Synopsis

“Diane de Monx, a Volf Corporation executive turned spy for rival Mangatronics in the companies’ battle over the lucrative market of internet adult animation. But Diane may not be the only player at Volf with a hidden agenda: both romantic interest Hervé and office enemy Elise seem to know her secret and can easily use it against her for their own purposes.” - The Criterion Channel

Please note: This film contains some potentially triggering and disturbing scenes involving sexual violence/assault

Exposure presents "Teknoerotica"

A five-film series exploring how technology reshapes desire, intimacy, and the human body in an era mediated by artificial intelligence, surveillance, and cybernetics. As the boundary between human and machine blurs, how is technology regulated and exploited to commodify sexual fantasy and digital debauchery, and desolation? How far can the limits of human flesh be pushed when the body adapts to synthetic realities, challenging traditional notions of pleasure and pain?

Through the lens of speculative fiction, cyber-surrealism, and techno-eroticism, this series presents visions both seductive and unsettling. Featuring David Cronenberg’s Crimes of the Future (2022), Kathryn Bigelow’s Strange Days (1995), Lynn Hershman Leeson’s Teknolust (2002), Olivier Assayas’ Demonlover (2002), and Bertrand Bonello’s The Beast (2023), these films reflects the anxieties of their time in how technology amplifies and distorts sexuality, while speaking to a present where these fears feel less speculative than immediate.
