Ron Athey ), Best Art Direction (Pernille Schellerup ), Best Videography (Marco Bellini ) and Best Editing (Henrik Vincent Thiesen ).Trivia
According to
Thomas Vilhelm 's book "Filmbyen" (2007), a strike broke out at Zentropa because a film crew working on a children's film felt bothered by knowing that a gay hardcore film was being shot on the soundstage next door.Zentropa's other three sex films were made for women and couples: "Constance" (1998), "
Pink Prison " (1999) and "All About Anna " (2005).External links
