Director and Sssh.com founder Angie Rowntree is proud to announce that her short film Alla Prima has been named a finalist in the Best Erotic/Adult Short Film category of the International Shorts Film Festival (ISFF). The selection means that Alla Prima will be screened along with the rest of the ISFF winners and finalists at the festival itself, which runs from December 6-12 in Melbourne, Australia.
“I am honored to have my work named as a finalist and very excited about Alla Prima being screened at the upcoming International Shorts Film Festival,” Rowntree said. “I’m so proud of this film and the incredible performances of Ava Mir-Ausziehen and Malcolm Lovejoy. The connection and intimacy between them are so intense you can truly feel the passion build as the film unfolds.”

While Rowntree is known for her story-driven features, Alla Prima takes a different approach, offering a film driven almost entirely by its visual elements.
The performers serve as a collective canvas
Together, Mir-Ausziehen and Lovejoy craft an erotic scene which goes beyond mere sexual intertwining. The performers serve as a collective canvas, creating a living painting which changes with each touch, kiss and caress. Cool blues and rich golds cascade down their bodies as the intense, mutual pleasure builds. While the sex in Rowntree’s films is always artful, in Alla Prima, the unification of sex and art becomes literal.

The focus is on the message
“I’m always looking for different ways to explore new territory in erotic film,” Rowntree said of Alla Prima’s departure from her more plot-driven work. “Each different film is its own world, whether it’s a feature or a short. In Alla Prima’s world, the focus is on the message Ava and Malcolm send with their bodies, which is all about the beauty people both create and embody when they’re making love.”The Alla Prima full movie is available to view at https://www.sssh.com.
