In true, unique, Storyville style, the new series promises to deliver the strand's usual eclectic mix of compelling stories from across the globe.

A look at the story behind the bestiality tape ANIMAL FARM. From its production in early 70's Denmark, to when it was smuggled to the UK and distributed in 1981.

A young country girl moves to Copenhagen for adventure and ends up working in a brothel.

The following movie from 1971 “Pornography” was the first x-rated “musical” to be premiered in Danish cinemas. The title is quite misleading. Other than the cool soundtrack by jazz great Dexter Gordon there is nothing very musical about it. It features 10 hard and softcore short films by photographer and director Ole Ege, shot before and after the liberalization of pornography in 1968-69.

The documentary, shows her living with her animals on her farm during this era, including their care, her affection for them, and her sexual life, entirely to the tune of Beethoven's Sixth Symphony (Pastoral)—an involuntary artistic choice that became necessary when the original soundtrack recordings became unavailable through a gaffe.
