In a move that proves environmentalists can have a sense of humor too, the Sundance Channel has commissioned film maker Rossellini to create a series of eight short films for a series entitled "Green Porno." The films aren’t anything you could find on the Playboy Channel, however, as the short films, all conceived, written by and featuring Rossellini, focus on the sex life of insects and other various creatures.

The first three films, which have recently been selected to premiere at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival, feature the private lives of the Firefly, Dragon Fly and Spider, and the five additional films, which feature Bees, Praying Mantis, Worm, Snail and Fly, will be shown on the Sundance Channel as interstitial pieces as well as being made available for mobile phones and video iPods. A selection of Rossellini's "Green Porno" shorts will also debut at the 2008 Berlin international Film Festival.

Laura Michalchyshyn, Executive Vice President, Programming and Creative Affairs, Sundance Channel said, "Isabella's playful and humorous approach to this material makes these films extremely inventive, a lot of fun and very artful. This is perfect 'green' short-form content for the Sundance Channel."

Meant to be shown individually or as a series, the "Green Porno" films are a comical, but insightful study of the curious ways certain creatures "make love." The inventive costumes and colorful sets contribute to the playfulness of the films. Their graphic look was specifically conceived for smaller screens such as cellular phones and computers.

"'Green Porno' is a wonderful combination of naughty and nice," commented Charlotte Mickie, Managing Director, Maximum Films International. "These films are utterly original; and simultaneously a little absurd and quite sublime which make them so engaging, and, indeed, important."
