The Red Garter (2000)
Is it a love story? A tale of passion and betrayal? A game of illicit desires and longings? Or is it a tingling drama of raw emotions? Or how about a thriller to test the boundaries of the genre? Maybe even an erotic thriller to challenge the codes of screen propriety? Let's just say that Markus Fischer's The Red Garter, based on a short story by Juan Marsé, is all of these. The setting of this Swiss Erotic Tale is a single's apartment. An attractive young woman is accosted in the corridor by a young man with something rather sinister on his mind. A contest of give-and-take follows - one good turn deserves another.
Kimono (2001)
Adding to his list of less-than-feature-length experimental films, director Hal Hartley offers up this mildly erotic, non-narrative fantasy starring his wife, Miho Nikaido. Presumably abandoned by her husband-to-be after an argument, Nikaido's nameless character wanders through a lush forest in her wedding gown, sullying herself in the dirt, tree branches, and rivers of the landscape. As the ornate clothing eventually tears away from her body, she observes two nymphs spying on her; she comes upon a desolate cabin where, under the supervision of the nymphs, she cleans herself and re-dresses in the loose robe of the film's title. Kimono was first shown at the 2000 Toronto International Film Fest.

On Top Down Under (2002)
Fridrik Thor Fridriksson's dialogue-free On Top Down Under intercuts a woman using an icicle for erotic release while her lover plans an icy death for himself.
Powers (2001)
Peter has a dream job. He's a popular magician in a posh Prague nightclub, whose act draws more applause than the strippers. He's got an eye-catching assistant who is ready and willing to cuddle his frayed nerves whenever necessary. But he's also got Sylvia on his neck: a pert, scatterbrained sister who forgets that a toss in the hay may just be worth a wedding ring. Things take a turn for the better - or worse? - when he discovers he possesses extra - let's say, supernatural - powers that enable him to see into the future, hear music by rubbing his finger over a CD, and God knows what. The problem? Peter can't control anything any more like he used to - neither his magic act, nor his love life, nor his sister's latest erotic fantasy.
The Summer of My Deflowering (2000)
Part of Regina Ziegler's Erotic Tales series, The Summer of My Deflowering is directed by American independent filmmaker Susan Streitfeld.

Why Don't We Do It in the Road? (2001)
Eoin Moore's Erotic Tale - leans heavily of documentary realism to make its point. Shot on Potsdamer Platz, the busiest corner in New Berlin, this is where a young couple decide to exercise their sexual fantasies by 'doing it' again on some public place just beyond the pale of voyeurs and eavesdroppers. Look closely, and you will note that this is also the site of the Filmhaus and DFFB's new location in the Sony Centre. Eoin's own backyard.
Porn.com (2002)
Veteran film director Matty Bonkers (Bob Rafelson), a Hollywood legend, arrives in Berlin for an honorary retrospective tribute. While introducing his film MOCKERY, he receives a phone call from his producer lying in intensive care at a hospital. Blau (Trevor Griffiths) needs a favor for old times' sake. Could Matty finish a porn movie before his legs get broken by Tokyo Tony? Matty reluctantly agrees. On the set he meets movie star and ex-cello-player Inga (Fabienne Babe) - and the experience is bizarre spirited uplifting a comédie humaine. The sequel to Rafelson's Wet, a classic in the Erotic Tales series, PORN.com features Bob in his first major acting role.
An Erotic Tale (2002)
Niko prefers to write his Berlin tales on the counter of a funky bar behind the shark tank, looking to pick up a girl. Along comes Sonja, who wants to know how the tale he's now working on will end, so she invites Niko to finish his erotic tale over a drink at her apartment. There's only one catch - Martin, her ex-husband, still hasn't moved out...
Did You Ever (2003)
The Californian desert, somewhere between Death Valley and Los Angeles. She - pert, forward, a ball of fire - has just thrown her mobile away after an angry tete-a-tete with her (ex-) boyfriend. He - rugged, handsome, the independent outdoor type - is hitching a ride back to LA and knows a good bet when he sees one. A road movie with ploys and fantasies, arm-wrestling and one-upmanship, Justin Stauber's 'Did You Ever Have Sex Like This?' is a throwback to the Pat & Mike, Tracy & Hepburn screwball comedies
Nr. 23 (2002)
A rainy night, a car breaks down, an old house in the middle of nowhere with a light burning in the window. Soaking wet, Markus knocks on the door - and interrupts Renee in the middle of her pottery. She's suspicious of the young stranger, but interested. An Adonis is missing from her artistic collection of dildos. It's only a matter of warming to the occasion, and she's in the flush of life. So she reaches for Apollinaire on the book shelf. . .and a jar of honey.
Music (2003)
Often cited for his quaint, ironic, humorous, close-to-the-skin story-telling talents - 'the Woody Allen of the American Independents,' said one critic - Amos Kollek is an actor-writer-screenwriter-director all rolled into one. He knows Manhattan like the back of his hand. His films are filled with a bevy of familiar Village characters: bar-hoppers and park-benchers, retirees and wanabees, the lonely and the beautiful. In ANGELA, his first Erotic Tale, Amos Kollek told a delightfully funny fairy tale about an ordinary guy aching for one last fling at the tender age of 70. In MUSIC he extends the metaphor to embrace a city that never sleeps - as though Manhattan at night is the very essence of the elusive, vulnerable woman. Spiced with surreal, Kafkaesque twists, MUSIC is about a man who loves music and is fascinated by the fair sex. But he is not quite sure why and how he has ended up in this strange hotel room ...
The Gallery (2003)
After winning top awards in Montreux, Utrecht, and St. Petersburg for THE WAITING ROOM, followed by the Grand Prix at the Mediawave festival in Györ (Hungary) for THE GAS STATION, Jos Stelling completed his Erotic Tales trilogy with THE GALLERY. Stylistically they're all connected: each is narrated visually without dialogue, each makes merry fun of an embarrassing erotic fantasy in a public place, and each features the same likeable fall-guy - Belgian actor Gene Bervoets - as the hero always ready and willing to strut his manhood like a peacock in heat. In THE GALLERY Gene finds himself the sensual object of a beautiful woman's desire. So when, suddenly and unexpectedly, she begins to strip for his pleasure ... well, one good turn deserves another...
