Since graduating from RMIT Media Arts with honours, award winning feminist erotic film maker, Anna Brownfield has worked as a freelance editor, film reviewer, and media teacher—as well as continuing to produce, direct and write her own films. Her work has always dealt with sexuality—and in particular, female sexuality.
Coming from an experimental and art film background, she has progressively moved more and more into narrative film, while retaining a unique and highly arresting style. The originality or her work has gain extensive media attention and she has appeared on ABC TV's "Mondo Thingo" and "The 10:30 Slot", JJJ, RRR, 3CR and ABC radio. Articles about her and her work have appeared in Cleo, Cosmo, IF magazine, Desktop magazine, The AGE, The Sydney Morning Herald, and numerous Street Press publications. Also a video web story can be found on The Age and Sydney morning herald websites.
Her work has screened at numerous festivals, both here and overseas, including the International Women's Conference 1995, Beijing, WOW Film festival, Sydney, Westspace Artists' Gallery, Melbourne, Artrage, Perth, and elsewhere . Most recently her film was chosen to close the Melbourne Underground film festival (MUFF). She cleaned up the MUFF awards winning best director, best screenplay and best male lead.
For Anna, moving into erotica has been a natural progression. As the majority of product is from a male perspective, she sees the potential to tap into a growing market of making non-formulaic porn that is designed to stimulate and arose women from a truly female perspective. Besides erotica, Anna is continuing to make other films. She is currently working on a documentary entitled 'Beauty is in the eye of the Board Holder", which is about a group of skateboarders called the F.A.C. (the Fuck Art Collective), who get together for hedonistic weekends and make art in a very non-elitist manner. Other projects include a telemarketing musical that is a lesbian love story called "Talk to me".
