El Satario

El Satario (Spanish: The Satyr), also known as El Sartorio or ”The Devil”, is the name of one of the earliest surviving pornographic films. It was supposedly produced in Argentina in 1907, and includes possibly the first use of extreme close-ups of genitalia. Others date it to 1930s Cuba.[2] It has been suggested that the film is intended as a parody of Vaslav Nijinsky's ballet Afternoon of a Faun.[3]

Plot

While a group of nude young women are frolicking in the countryside, a satyr or devil appears, causing the women to flee. One of the women faints and is forced to have sexual relations with him, first in 69 position and then in various Penile-vaginal positions, until he ejaculates in her vagina. The other women then return and put him to flight.

Release

The Kinsey Institute dates the film between 1907 and 1912.[4] Journalist Kurt Tucholsky described in a 1913 article his experience viewing several stag films in Berlin, one of which has a similar description to El Satario.[5]
