to ensure the safety and survival of the industry "They should learn from us because the HIV test doesn't mean anything America's adult film industry relies on testing to prevent the spread of the virus In recent years, a growing number of American and European adult film directors headed to Brazil â€â€? looking for new talent and taking advantage of the 2002 collapse of the local currency, the real, that made outsourcing more cost-effective At Sao Paulo's 8th annual Erotika Fair last week, Brazilian porn actors said American directors often bring in their own male talent but usually hire Brazilian actresses who often moonlight as prostitutes and are willing to have sex without condoms The Brazilians make about $175 (500 reals) for sex scenes with condoms, but can double their pay working with actors not wearing them 4 billion annually Weighs Using Condoms in Porn Films Apr 26, 2:00 PM EST Flush with dollars, American porn film directors swoop into Brazil for its exotic and uninhibited women, dazzling tropical backdrops and cheap production costs â€â€? a phenomenon that has turned South America's largest country into a prime destination for adult film outsourcing "We use the best condoms in the world, and that's the safety of my business But testing is scoffed at in Brazil as expensive and unreliable One partner, Lara Roxx, also tested HIV positive "We thought we were being smart with testing, but we were naive," said Suze Randall, a California-based adult film producer U " Would American porn consumers keep on buying videos and DVDs with male actors wearing condoms? "The marketplace is going to take what we give them," she said Thirty companies halted production, virtually shuttering a business based in California's San Fernando Valley that generates at least $4 before a blood test two weeks ago showed he was HIV-positive "I think the way the Americans do it is absurd," said Lana Starck, a 28-year-old actress, before performing a striptease on Buttman Brasil's stage at the conference " Some American adult film industry players say the Brazilian model for preventing HIV in movies should be adopted in the U "They can have the test and then go out for a wild night and get HIV, but the test would be negative," said Norberto Brunni, marketing director for the Buttman Brasil production company Established Brazilian porn stars, however, say the work is too risky The films are so widely accepted that videos and DVDs are showcased on corner newsstands Brazil, like many countries, does not require HIV testing for porn actors, and American actors who work in the country often immediately go back to the United States to film more movies, boosting the infection risk Actors could not afford regular HIV tests that cost $140 each, and producers feared being sued by actors getting the virus while working Darren James, the American actor who contracted the virus, apparently in Brazil, and infected at least one actress after returning to the United States, "took a risk that many Brazilian actors won't," said Evaldo Shiroma, who heads the Brazilian Erotic Industry Association James performed with 13 actresses after returning to the U "No one wants to work with condoms, but that will probably be the way to go Dozens of porn production companies operate in Sao Paulo, Brazil's largest city " While roughly 80 percent of Brazilian porn films are made with actors using condoms, about the same percentage of American movies feature actors not wearing them S S The Brazilian porn industry, Latin America's largest, has long depended on condoms to prevent actors from getting and spreading HIV S "What drives it is economics and beautiful women S I use condoms with actors and with my husband, always "It's become the place to go," said Tim Connelly, publisher of the California-based AVN, an adult film industry magazine But the infection of an American porn star with HIV last month after shooting unprotected sex scenes with more than a dozen Brazilian women is sending shockwaves through the industry's California heartland and prompting Brazilian performers to criticize their American counterparts Since then, more than 50 performers who had contact with the two or their on-screen sex partners have been barred by the American industry pending new tests Brazilian industry executives say most Americans who film in Brazil require their actors to film unprotected sex scenes " But producers chose the country with the most people in the hemisphere with HIV or AIDS after the United States But the business is thought to be the second-largest in the world after the U Brazilians are more accepting of erotic films with actors using condoms because the government's internationally renowned HIV prevention program has handed out millions of free condoms annually for years and bombarded the country with advertisements encouraging their use, particularly during Rio's world famous Carnival Though the Brazilian porn film industry is unregulated, most production companies honor a gentleman's agreement requiring actors to use condoms Brazil's adult film industry produces a much lower $100 million (290 million reals) yearly, industry players estimate They usually head to Sao Paulo or Rio de Janeiro â€â€? home to 60 percent of the 540,000 Brazilians with HIV or AIDS, according to a recent World Bank study and is growing rapidly "We look forward to hearing your questions and to sharing with you details on the performance of The Walt Disney Company," Mitchell wrote in a letter sent Monday to the pension funds, offering to meet "In our view, such a meeting would send a necessary signal to the marketplace that the Disney board is willing to engage in a constructive dialogue regarding our mutual interests as fiduciaries and shareowner representatives "</p > Mitchell, the former U S "We remain deeply concerned that our investments and the future of this company are in jeopardy," the letter said "The company has lost more than 20 percent in stock value over the last five years â€â€? nearly five times more than the losses incurred by the Standard & Poors 500 index for the comparable period," the six pension funds said in their joint statement "Putting Eisner aside, we want to meet face to face to talk about it to discuss performance and governance concerns "We believe this is a dire situation," CalPERS spokesman Brad Pacheco said In a separate statement, New York State Treasurer Alan Hevesi, representing the New York State Common Retirement Fund, said the group had dropped its demand that Eisner be fired The investors, including the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS), the nation's largest pension fund, sent a letter to Disney Chairman George Mitchell requesting an immediate meeting The other funds asking for a meeting, with combined assets of more than $500 billion, include the Connecticut Retirement Plans and Trust Funds, the California State Teachers' Retirement System, the Ohio Public Employees Retirement System and the North Carolina Retirement Systems But investors say they are concerned about the longer-term performance of the stock " The funds say the future of Disney's chief executive, Michael Eisner, is not on their agenda for the meeting " CalPERS called for Eisner's resignation by the end of the year following a March 3 Disney shareholder's meeting at which investors withheld 43 percent of votes cast for Eisner's re-election to the board "We have explicitly agreed to give the company some time to improve its performance and not to ask for Eisner to be replaced at this time," Hevesi said But CalPERS, which organized the letter on behalf of the funds, said it stands by its earlier call for Eisner to leave, although it would not press the issue at a meeting with the board senator from Maine, and board member Judith Estrin have offered over the past few weeks to meet with pension funds to discuss their concerns Disney reported stronger-than-expect ed first quarter growth on higher attendance at its theme parks and a rise in revenue at its movie studio "We remain confident in the company's strategic positioning and future growth potential Pension Funds Seek Meeting With Disney Mar 23, 8:26 AM EST Six of the country's largest and most influential public pension funds on Monday requested a meeting with directors of The Walt Disney Co Shares of Disney have risen steadily over the past year as the company's financial performance has improved Immediately following that meeting, Disney's board split the roles of chairman and chief executive â€â€? one of the key issues pressed by CalPERS and other institutional investors |
