Green Porno is a series of bizarre short films written, directed by and staring Isabella Rossellini, about the sex life of insects and other small creatures.
Each film is executed in a very simple childlike manner. They are a playful mixture of real world and cartoon. Each episode begins with Isabella speaking to the camera “If I were a…(firefly, spider, dragonfly etc.). She then transforms into the male of the species explaining in a simple yet direct dialogue the actual act of speciesspecific fornication. The costumes, colorful sets and backdrops as well as the female insects (all simple paper cut-outs and sculptures) contribute to the playfulness of the films. The contrast of this “naïf” expression and filthy sex practices adds to the comicality of Green Porno. This child-like manner allows us to describe things that could possibly come across as offensive to some.

Caught your Twitter post and read about Green Porno here. Great stuff. I just reached out to the Sundance Channel about having Isabella come on a future episode to be interviewed about Green Porno.
Thanks for the scoop!
