Well, not exactly, more like art. In any case it is a film about people without any clothes on and yes, with close ups of genitalia.

Visual representations of sex form the biggest and most profitable branch of filmmaking. Fuses, however is not part of that genre (or mode)called porn.

It is a "woman's take" on sex. It is a very personal account of how it feels to have sex. Whether it succeeds or not is up to you, but it must be noted that in my opinion it cannot be classified as porn, so Schneeman must be doing something right.

Fuses is an experimental/avant-guard/abstract film (or whatever you want to call it) about the artist and her lover. The film, instead of taking place from a voyeuristic point of view, which is pretty standard in a sex scene, is from the POV of the artist herself, her parter, and her cat Kitsch. Though she fails somewhat in the attempt to make it completely non-voyeuristic (its very provocative), its a brilliant attempt at showing what sex FEELS like from a woman's POV rather than what it looks like from a man's POV. The film itself seems to have been treated with bleach, baked in an oven, soaked in urine, and painted, scratched and burnt. Techniques that I believe she learned from filmmaker Stan Brakhage. She has commented that she was "permitted to be an image, but not an image maker," in response to the swell of negative feedback after the public finally saw the film. The film is dream- like and very rich in colour. Its not so obscured by experimental/handmade techniques that you can't see what's going on. There are bits that seem to be memories and the present sex act which is like none other I've seen. Anyway, its probably one of my favorite short films of all time.
