The first certified pornographic films date back to 1912 in France and 1913 in the United States. But their technical skill and professionalism clearly indicate that the genre had existed for a long time. Initially shot in 35 mm and intended solely for brothels and wealthy enthusiasts, the pornographic film was naturally clandestine. However, it experienced phenomenal growth in the mid-1920s with the advent of 16 mm. Then, with the emergence of 8 mm, it attracted a considerable number of new fans. An astonishing and masterful anthology.
