What better way to snuggle in for a cold holiday season than with some well-curated smut? YBCA film curator Joel Shepard brings together some of the best vintage porn and erotica for this three-day series, kicking off with Gerard Damiano's Devil in Miss Jones (1972), which Roger Ebert dubbed "the best hardcore porno film I've seen." The plot is deliciously ludicrous: after 30-something Justine Jones kills herself out of sexual frustration, she finds herself stuck between heaven and hell and is granted another try at mortal life, now with her sexuality fully liberated. Gerri Sedley's Teenage Hitchhikers (1975) and a freshly compiled selection of '60s-'80s porn trailers round out the lust fest.
