Parish council president doubts explicit scenes were actually shot on public street
A pornographic film was reportedly shot in the Algarve without any knowledge or authorisation from public authorities.
The film, produced by adult film company Vixen, is believed to have been shot last autumn and is said to feature explicit sex scenes filmed on a street in the idyllic fishing village of Ferragudo, Lagoa, as well as on CP trains. Some scenes were also reportedly recorded in moving cars.
Luís Alberto, President of the Parish Council of Ferragudo, doubts that the explicit scenes were actually shot in public.
“The street that appears in the film, which I only saw through photos, is very busy and still has some residents, so it is highly unlikely that the filming took place there,” he told Portugal’s tabloid newspaper Correio da Manhã. “The most likely scenario is that they captured images and then edited them,” the parish council president added.
According to CM, the outdoor scenes of the production, starring 23-year-old pornographic actress, Eva Blume, were mostly filmed in the Algarve.
The tabloid reports that the actress was filmed in Quinta do Lago in a Porsche 356, and that another scene was shot in a high-end BMW. It was also in Quinta do Lago that the promotional photos for the adult film were taken, CM adds.
The Algarve’s year-long good weather and appealing outdoor landscapes make it a popular destination for adult film production companies, especially outside the peak tourism season, the tabloid stresses.
It adds that the Algarve is often chosen for this type of film due to the “various villas available for rent, always with a pool, where the entire team stays and where the explicit scenes are filmed, without much contact with the outside or knowledge of the owners”.
CP “not aware” of alleged filming inside trains
CP – Comboios de Portugal has also denied any knowledge of adult films being shot inside the company’s trains.
“CP (Comboios de Portugal) is not aware of the production of any film of this nature involving our carriages, including the Alfa Pendular,” a source from the company told Correio da Manhã, adding that they had not received “any request for authorisation for such use” of the carriages, although these were used, as per our story over the weekend.
Additionally, the company states that “authorisation has never been granted to any other entity to rent or use” the carriages to produce pornographic films.
