Miley Cyrus Submitted To Bushwick’s NYC Porn Festival
The inaugural NYC Porn Festival, organized by Bushwig’s Simon Leahy, is almost upon us. (Look, there’s just not a way to write this without double entendres, OK? Take a deep breath.) We talked to Leahy way back in November when he announced the festival, which is a look at the way that people consume and produce pornography in the 2010s. “I think porn is something that we all consume but there is no forum or place in which to have these discussions or in which to share,” Leahy said. “I want to create a platform for that.”
Create he did, and now the festival has a full line-up and tickets available for purchase. And also, a submission from an unexpected source: None other than pop star Miley Cyrus.
In an interview with Bedford and Bowery, Simon Leahy mentioned off-hand that Cyrus had contributed to the festival. From a look at the schedule, it looks like the submission is “Tongue-Tied,” the short film that Cyrus worked with director and artist Quentin Jones on last year. It’s definitely suggestive, but doesn’t quite qualify as pornography. You can see it, for instance, on YouTube.
Does that make us any less excited about the potential of spotting Cyrus at a porn festival in Bushwick? Not a wit. For the full schedule of events, check out their website here. The festival will be held at Secret Project Robot from February 27-March 1. You have to be 21 to get in.
