"As an academic who has been tracking the emergence of “the feminist porn movement,” I’ve seen the importance of the filmmakers, performers and activists who bring a political consciousness to sexually explicit media. Sex on screen can teach us about so much more than sex. At the recent Feminist Porn Awards in Toronto, Mia Gimp and Clark Matthews won “sexiest short” for their entry “Krutch,” shot on an iPhone 5 on the streets of Midtown Manhattan. The film tells the story of a disabled woman who, faced with the challenges of navigating a world made for able-bodied individuals, finds solace and erotic pleasure with her crutch. For depictions that push against sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia and ableist, heteronormative beauty ideals – as it turns out, porn is now the place to look."
