Reclamation

ColorBlock Films, Oran Julius, US, 2022, 6’

Who says wax play can’t be therapeutic? Reclamation is all about leaning into kink as healing, self care, and community love. Three disabled friends gather on the solstice to practice a healing ritual designed to help them embrace and celebrate their bodies. Together they pamper each other before forming a bond with a very special seal. In Reclamation we celebrate Black bodies, Brown bodies, fat bodies, disabled bodies, hypermobile bodies, chronically ill bodies, and trans bodies.

Oran Julius (they/he) is a femmeboy himbo, multitasking maven, and creative dreamer. Oran is a thick, Black, queer, nonbinary, neurodivergent and disabled human. He is a vers, queer slut and experienced BDSM switch. A lover of the taboo, dark age play, and filthy scenes, Oran rarely shies away from fantasies. Oran created ColorBlock Films to have a place to celebrate and center humans not often featured in porn.
