Everything is going green these days. Even porn. And Isabella Rossellini is doing her part for the environment.

Rossellini was in Toronto Wednesday to promote ‘Green Porno: Scandalous Sea,’ a series of short films she wrote, directed and starred in for Sundancechannel.com. The second season of the series is showing at the ROM during the Toronto International Film Festival. The films are also available on the Sundance Channel website.

In the shorts Rossellini costumes herself as the males of various creatures and explains their method of copulation/reproduction, demonstrating on a paper model of the female (when necessary). Season one was bugs and insects: a dragonfly, an earthworm, a spider. Season two is, obviously, sea creatures: a barnacle, an angler fish, starfish and more.

The informative and very funny series reportedly came about when Rossellini was approached by Robert Redford to create a series of Internet films focusing on the environment. Rossellini told Reuters, “I’m interested in animals, people are very interested in sex: why not combine them?”

According to Reuters, the surprise of Green Porno isn’t the fact that it stars the daughter of Ingrid Bergman and former face of Lancome dressed as a blue whale with a massive penis. No. “The surprise of Green Porno is the variety of reproduction,” says Rossellini. “If we just did mammals it would be the same thing: a penis and vagina – penetration!”

In ‘Green Porno: Starfish,’ for example, Rossellini demonstrates that a starfish reproduce can asexually by fragmentation.

“It was interesting to talk about animals that are hermaphrodites and that have orgies,” Rossellini said. “All of these things happen.”
