YNOT EUROPE – La Universidad Autónoma de México (the Autonomous University of Mexico) has embarked upon an interesting initiative: Librarians in the film archive are cataloguing pornographic films lensed in Mexico during the first half of the 20th Century.
So far the list includes 35 films, most of them silent. Many were projected in the brothels of Mexico City. Most shocking about the collection, according to UNAM Film Library Curator Francisco Gaytán, is that some of the movies were filmed in the homes of conservative members of the upper class, and many mock the Catholic church, which is a mainstay of Mexican society.
