"Good For Her began organizing the Feminist Porn Awards to celebrate the growing diversity of porn that really does exist," said Alison Lee, manager of Good for Her and the event's organizer. "Porn has expanded to include women and marginalized communities, and many people don’t know about the hot and artistic movies that are being made with a feminist sensibility. We are proud to promote these filmmakers, and excited about directing people to their work."
The 2009 Feminist Porn Awards ceremony was attended by more than 400 guests on Friday, followed by a Saturday screening, "Feisty Feminist Porn on the Big Screen," which gave audiences a chance to see excerpts from award winners and also engage with the filmmakers in a panel discussion and question and answer period.
More than 350 people attended the screening, which offered selections from five Feminist Porn Award-winning movies and previews of upcoming productions.
