Candida Royalle Doc 'Candice' Now Screening on Vimeo

CYBERSPACE — After five years of effort, "Candice," the documentary about late feminist filmmaker and erotica pioneer Candida Royalle, is available to the public.

Royalle, aka Candice Vadala, known as the "godmother of feminist porn," began her career as an adult performer "at the height of the sexual revolution, and in her 30s turned to directing and producing her own films, which flipped the male gaze on its head by focusing on women’s sexual pleasure," said a rep.

"She produced pioneering porn that was radically different from the mainstream and invited women to proudly explore and celebrate their sexuality."

The film, which screened in May at the DOXA Documentary Film Festival in Vancouver, "captures Vadala in her 60s when, confronted with an ovarian cancer diagnosis, she is eager to tell her story in her words and to confront questions that have haunted her since childhood," the rep continued.

Directed by Sheona McDonald, the film "portrays Candice as a prolific filmmaker, entrepreneur, and advocate for women’s rights, but also as a woman coming to terms with a tumultuous personal life."
