Synopsis

After the Just Jaeckin movie EMMANUELLE became a global smash hit, there was a shadow series of films that followed, the so-called “Black Emanuelle” series, starring the Indonesian-born model-actress Laura Gemser. These films were made by Italian filmmakers Bitto Albertini and Joe D’Amato and combined the erotic thrills of the original EMMANUELLE with some Mondo elements to create rough, sex-filled travelogs. For this special screening of the completely insane EMANUELLE IN AMERICA, we will be joined by a panel of special guests who will discuss the film after the screening. Panelists include Lars Nilsen, Bryan Connolly, Jazmyne Moreno, Liz Purchell, and Amanda Reyes. Exploitation film scholar Elizabeth Purchell will also present her new documentary, THE NAKED EYE: SEX AND THE MONDO FILM (43 mins).
