Isabella Rossellini, star by birth, has changed sides. A full career long, the favourite of photographers, she moved behind the camera for first time as the director and presenter of Green Porno, a series of mousy hand-crafted short films about the sex lives of animals. The 18 one-minute-sketches are so much entertaining, amusing, farcical and - in opposite to the underwater world, in which the directress Isabella Rossellini plunges in - without draught. 

eiskellerberg.tv spoke with the world-renowned star about Green, Porno and the pleasure, to finally get the opportunity to be goofy.

We say a great Thank You to Lothar Schirmer, Schirmer/Moser Verlag for letting us use some film clips.

Thanks to Alexander Basta, Photographer in Düsseldorf, for all the wonderful Rossellini-shots in the film.
