The video was apparently smuggled into the U.K. In 1981 and made the rounds in the underground market. In 2006 the U.K. Documentary show 'The Dark Side of Porn' examined the film and it's star in the episode 'The Real Animal Farm'. Oh and the film was never actually called 'Animal Farm' it was made up of snippets of Bodil Joensens different 'Animal' films made on her own farm and then put on one video and someone smuggled it into Britain in 1981 and people just nicknamed it 'Animal Farm' Apparently the film is legitimately available these days as 'Animal Bizarre'.

The 2006 documentaryTHE DARK SIDE OF PORN: THE REAL ANIMAL FARM provides an intriguing look at thebackground of one of the most infamous pornographic videotapes of all time,‘Animal Farm’, as well as the tragic life of its star performer, Bodil Joensen.Due to its bestiality content I have no interest in seeing the actual film, butI’ve long been fascinated by the shroud of notoriety surrounding the film aswell as the troubled story of Joensen (in the various photographs I’ve seen ofher, I always noticed a sad, almost haunted, look in her eyes) and why and whatexactly led her to perform in these sorts of productions.

Featuringmany interviews with collaborators and friends of Joensen such as filmmakersOle Ege and ShinkichiTajiri, as well asa variety of others providing their opinion on the film such as Germaine Greerand ‘Headpress’ editor David Kerekes (“There’s only so much filth you canwallow in – I think ‘Animal Farm’’s pretty much at the bottom of the pit”), notto mention many non-explicitexcerpts from Joensen’s films, plenty of rare stills, and a non-judgmentalvoice-over, THE REAL ANIMAL FARM provides a wealth of information for anyoneinterested in the story behind the tape.

The documentary begins with a look at the home videorevolution that took off in the early 1980’s in England. For the first time inhistory, consumers were able to borrow or purchase programmes of their choiceand watch them as many times as they liked in the comfort of their own home.Naturally the success of the VCR led to a massive demand for pornographictitles, especially illegal hardcore material – one in four VHS tapes on themarket was a porno. With the demand for ever more sensational films growing(including the lurid horror and sexploitation titles soon to be known as ‘TheVideo Nasties’), bootlegging and piracy became rife. Seizing the lucrativemoney-making opportunity, dupers took to smuggling in more extreme XXX materialinto the UK from more sexually permissive countries such as Denmark andHolland. In mid-1981, four zoophilia tapes, collectively known as ‘AnimalFarm’, were snuck past British customs into the country (it should be notedthat the ‘films’ have no official title; the tapes became universally known as‘Animal Farm’ due to underground dealers, traders and collectors alwaysreferring to it by that name).

'Animal Farm’s’ content itself was a compilation ofclips from various films Bodil Joensen had starred in, and assorted ColorClimax Corporation bestiality loops (the original source of the tape was infact from Color Climax, a hugely successful Danish porn production/distributionoutfit catering to more ‘specialised’ tastes). The narrator explains “’AnimalFarm’ has no plot, but shows countless indecent acts including penetrative,anal and oral sex with every conceivable animal”. Indeed thegrimy-looing snippets shown of randy, elderly ‘backwoods’ looking farmersand grubby, unwashed farm girls about to engage in copulations was more thanenough for me. The first wave of video dupers sold copies of ‘AnimalFarm’ to Soho sex shop dealers for up to 70 pounds each, and subsequently the‘under-the-counter’ tapes sold to customers like hotcakes. Police raids in Sohodid uncover the ‘Animal Farm’ tapes, however they were too late to stop thefilm from being widely distributed. It was a matter of time before thefilm became nationally, then internationally, known as an underground legend,often viewed as a gross-out curio rather than a masturbatory aid.Even during my yearsat high school in the 90’s, it was still being sniggered about by knowingteenage boys upon the mention of George Orwell’s novel of the same title inclasses. I’ve also had it verified that at a certain Victorian country footballclub in the 1980’s, ‘Animal Farm’ was screened to adolescent boys (along withother highly dubious material) during their infamous ‘piss, pies and porn’fundraiser nights. Even more disturbingly, these films were supplied to thefootball club by the local police (!!!) Coincidentally, in his book Hip Pocket Sleaze, John Harrison mentions a similar story he was told when purchasing an old collection of 8mm stag loops from regional Victoria. Only difference being one of the particular films shown at the particular football club he was told about was THE ANAL DWARF (!!!!)

But what ofBodil Joensen, the first ever widely recognisable person to appear in a bestialilyporn video? During her heyday, the unkempt but pretty, voluptuous blonde withstriking blue eyes appeared to be a vivacious, free-spirited ‘child of nature’;a vanguard of free love. Few were aware of the horrifically abusive childhoodJoensen suffered and of one particular traumatic event which was to change thecourse of the scarred young girl’s life forever.

Born in 1944,Joensen was brought up by a devoutly Christian mother in Hundige, a smallprovincial village near Copenhagen. Her father, a military officer, was absentfor most of her childhood, and her sexually repressed mother was extremely physicallyand emotionally abusive. If the young Bodil was seen simply chatting to a boyafter school, she was whipped brutally. Her mother’s abuse caused her towithdraw from other children. At the age of 12, when walking home from school Joensenwas violently raped by a man who forced her into a deserted train stationwaiting room. Bodil told her unsympathetic mother, who viciously beat her andsaid she was to blame for the rape. The traumatised, confused and resentfulgirl made a promise that would haunt her for the rest of her days. In spite toshock her mother, she made a pledge that she would have sex with boars. AsBodil grew older, her oath to her mother slowly began to manifest itself. Lonelyand isolated from human affection, Bodil sought solace from the animals sheloved. Her first sexual encounter with an animal was with her beloved GermanShepard, her only friend and closest companion and soon after at 15, she lefther mother’s farm, never to return. Both to flee the abuse she had endured andas a backlash against thetraditional, religious lifestyle her mother wished for her to follow.
Alienatedfrom her family and homeless in the Danish countryside, Joensen found work as afarmhand and eventually set up her own animal husbandry business, ‘InseminationCentral’. However, malicious rumours soon were spread by the conservativefarmer’s wives who were jealous of the attractive, outgoing young girl andprevented their husbands from associating with her, subsequently leading to amajor loss of funds. Desperate to keep her pigs, failing business and home,Bodil saw a money-making opportunity in zoophilia pornography. Initiallyappearing in ‘light fetish’ porn produced by Ole Ege, she then contacted ColorClimax Corporation with the proposal of appearing in bestiality loops for them.A venture that was to make the company millions. Within a few months after thistransition, she had earned enough to keep her business afloat. From 1969 to1972, Joensen appeared in over 40 feature films and 8mm loops of this nature.

A key film fromthis period was the documentary short BODIL JOESEN: A SUMMERDAY byJapanese-American underground filmmaker Shinkichi Tariji. Tariji, intrigued byJoensen and her way of life, shot four days of footage of at her farmhouse,intending to show the ‘real’ Bodil to the public, not just the anonymous sexperformer. The documentary shows Bodil living with her animals on her farm (“tworabbits, seven dogs, a dozen pigs, some cats, a guinea pig, a mare and abeautiful black stallion named Dreamlight”), including their care, heraffection for them, and her sexual life. This footage is intercut with numerousphotographs of Joensen and her family and magazine articles.

A SUMMERDAYwas the surprise winner of Amsterdam’s 1970 Wet Dream Film Festival (attendedby a combination of the mackintosh brigade and the free-love hippie crowd) Thisturned Joensen into an underground superstar overnight and a symbol of the‘permissiveness’ and open-mindness of the era. Other documentary crews fromaround the world captured the young farm girl’s exploits on film.

Much of thefootage compiled in ‘Animal Farm’ is said to have been culled from A SUMMERDAY as well as San Francisco roughie auteurAlex de Renzy’s ANIMAL LOVER. Jack Stevenson in Shock Xpress Book 2 notes “...toappreciate the accomplishments of A SUMMERDAY, it should be seen alongside itsbrain-damaged twin, ANIMAL LOVER, perhaps the crudest and rudest exploitationfilm ever.” A clumsily shot, inept and relentlessly ugly ‘pseudo-documentary’, it isnarrated by a inarticulate, rambling ‘distinguished’ looking type ala Dr. Francis B. Gross from FACES OFDEATH wearing thick glasses and a red polka dot tie. According to Stevenson, “Bodil’sstock repertoire of sex acts is almost identical to those shown in the otherfilms, but here there are more close-ups and zoom shots, and the scenes lastlonger, with little camera movement.” One particular staged segment manages tohit a new low point, even for shockumentaries. A young woman claims to havebeen kidnapped by a group of sadistic Arab men when holidaying in Marrakesh andheld as a sex slave for months, including being forced to have sex with dogs.Stevensen states “...this section of ANIMAL LOVER must rank as one of themisguided, ghastly and hideous attempts at titillation ever.”

Joensenhappily allowed the documentary makers to film her as well as visiting sextourists who arrived at her farm by the busloads. She enjoyed both the media attentionas well as the financial reapings, which allowed her to achieve her dream goal;purchasing her own farm. As the 1970’s drew to a close Joensen’s life was almostsettling down into a ‘regular’ domestic existence, living with her partner KnudAndersen and their daughter (born in 1972). Amongst her pornographic activities,Bodil was still running Insemination Central with the assistance of Andersen.To subsidise the upkeep of the animals, Joensen was still allowing sex touristsaccess to the farm in order to make their own private bestiality movies. Bythis time, financially lucrative pornographers were looking elsewhere for newmoneymaking hardcore action kicks, and the Danish porn industry turned its backon her. Bodil was now in her mid-30’s and unable to secure any more movie contracts,and only amateur filmmakers were still interested in her. Unfortunately thedawn of a new decade would mark the beginning of a rapid decline for the “BoarGirl”.

By 1980, theonly income Joensen could bring in was fromperforming live sex acts with her dog in a number of small clubs in Copenhagen.In order to survive, she was having to perform a gruelling 3 shows a night for7 days a week. To her friends Joensen presented a facade of happiness, howeverthe reality was that her personal life was rapidly spirally out of control. Sufferingfrom severe depression, she was smoking up to 100 cigarettes a day, overeating(leading to a weight gain of 30 kilos/65 pounds) and drinking heavily.Her partner Knud was also an alcoholic andtheir addiction rendered them incapable of looking after the animals on thefarm. In 1981, police and animal welfare officers raided their farm after atip-off from locals. The officials were astounded and horrified by what theydiscovered - the farm was in an extreme state of decay. Pigs were drowning in ametre and a half of their own excrement. A decomposing carcass of a pig wasfound, half eaten by the other starving pigs. Sadly, not one of the animalssurvived as it was necessary for all to be euthanised. Joensen was charged withsevere neglect and animal abuse and sentenced to 30 days jail. Upon her releasefrom prison and having lost her business and beloved animals, the devastatedJoensen reluctantly resorted to prostitution to support her partner anddaughter, hiring a seedy room in Copenhagen’s red-light district. Desperate tofuel her alcohol addiction, she willingly exchanged sex for cheap liquor. Joensenopenly loathed the sex work she was forced to undertake, as she stated in herfinal interview in the early 1980’s: “In my situation it’s very hard to turndown the most disgusting propositions. For me, staying alive in the hookingbusiness is hell.” Ironically, at the same time as Bodil was struggling tosurvive, she was being screened in homes all over Britain, then subsequently theworld, as bootlegs of ‘Animal Farm’ became widely circulated.

Towards theend of her life, Bodil was drinking a bottle and a half of schnapps a day aswell as being hooked on out-of-date tranquilizers supplied by a back-streetdoctor. Her friends had deserted her and she had no one to turn to, save fromher equally alcohol dependent partner. A broken woman, she was prematurely aged,obese, and having abandoned her ‘cheerful’ front, often appeared worn, tiredand sad. A far cry from the lively “Queen of the Boars” seen in countlessdocumentaries only a decade previously. Bodil Joensen passed away on 3 January1985 ofcirrhosis of theliver, aged just forty. Her partner Knud Andersen died in 1997 aged sixty sevenand was buried with Joensen in a cemetery in Copenhagen.

THE DARK SIDEOF PORN: THE REAL ANIMAL FARM concludes by noting the explosion of extreme,specialised pornography readily available since Joensen’s heyday. “What startedas a trickle of illegal hardcore tapes is now a torrent of the most extreme materialimaginable, easily accessible within a few clicks. The porno industry isconstantly on the lookout for any new fetish to capture and sell to a globalmarket.”

Themulti-million dollar industry of pornography will continue to grow and women likeBodil Joensen will seemily be always attracted to it and of achieving fameand fortune. After almost thirty years after her death, the woman dubbed “TheQueen of Bestiality” still remains a cult figure. Some claim her to be apioneer of sexual freedom and expression, but others see an abused, naive womanruthlessly exploited by the industry she represented.

Bodil Bjarta Joensen (25 September 1944 – 3 January 1985) was a Danishpornographic actress born in the village of Hundige, near Copenhagen. An animal lover, she ran a small entrepreneurial farm and animal husbandry business, and enjoyed celebrity status from her many pornographic films in which she engaged in sex acts with animals.

An icon and celebrity for a time, with her own successful business, she failed to make the transition to more mainstream movies when market sentiment changed and she became impoverished and could no longer care for her animals. She became an alcoholic and died several years later.

Early life[edit]

The daughter of a devout Christian mother and an absentee military father, Joensen grew up in the Copenhagen suburb of Hundige. Her mother was often physically abusive, sometimes violently so, and would whip her. At the age of 12, her mother suspected her of having been raped by a stranger in a railway station^[1] — her Danish biography and 1980s interview say that they 'just talked' or that she was 'nearly raped', but her mother believed that she had actually been raped.^[2] On returning home to tell her mother, she was beaten and blamed for the incident. Seeking a means to retaliate, she vowed to her mother that when she grew up she would have sex with boars, commenting in an interview that her mother was 'so shocked, she thought I was allied to the Devil'.^[1] Turning to animals for affection, her dog became her best friend, companion and lover, and she wore a locket containing his picture for the rest of her life.^[1]

Initially, after leaving home at 15, Joensen found work on a farm in a conservative area of Denmark. Her landlord, the farmer Gunnar Nielsen, commented, 'She was passionate about animals.' He added that she was entranced by the sight of animals breeding, an activity she stated she found 'wonderful' to help with. She later left to set up her own breeding farm, 'Insemination Central,' which became popular for her ability to handle aggressive animals such as boars, and was then ruined by country gossip, spread principally by farmers' wives who were unhappy at the prospect of their husbands working with a young single girl on farm business. Friends, such as Johan Kirk, commented that she 'was never given much of a chance' by such people. She commented later, 'Nine out of ten men wanted to fuck me, and their wives hated me.'^[1]

Pornography career[edit]

Launched in the context of a failing business and attempts to remain solvent in order to keep her livestock and home, her career in pornography began in 1962 at age 17, when she appeared in 'light fetish' pornography, before establishing herself in the bestiality subgenre in 1969 at around age 25. She starred in a number of feature films and shorts for companies such as Color Climax Corporation, as well as for the pornographerOle Ege, in which she and other actors had sex with various animalspecies. Between 1969 and 1972, she starred with animals in over 40 movies.^[1]

The movie A Summer's Day (1971) was released in the U.S. as Animal Lover (1970). She wrote a column answering readers' letters in SCREW magazine.^[3]

In this genre, Joensen drew special attention worldwide as the Boar Girl, a reputation earned from her live performances with swine, as well as her participation in films shot with pigs on her own breeding centre. The movies she appeared in combined a peculiar blend of the 'tolerant contemporary Danish society' image and Scandinavian rustic nostalgia. Her Danish biography comments of her domestic life:

'The scene is classic Rabelaisian more than anything else, harkening back to the Middle Ages when people and their animals often did live in the same house.'^[2]

The award-winning documentary Bodil Joensen - en sommerdag juli 1970 (1970), by Shinkichi Tajiri, shows her living with her animals on her farm during this era, including their care, her affection for them, and her sexual life, entirely to the tune of Beethoven's Sixth Symphony (Pastoral)—an involuntary artistic choice that became necessary when the original soundtrack recordings became unavailable through a gaffe. At the time, she lived with 'two rabbits, seven dogs, a dozen pigs, some cats, a guinea pig, a mare and a beautiful black stallion named Dreamlight'.^[2] Her Danish biographer commented later^[1] that she seemed to be a very open, warm-hearted person, 'very at home with nature':

'When she plays her erotic game with the dog or horse, it is not only a sexual curiosity, it is an erotic play with animals she loves and who are devoted to her.'^[2]

The documentary was the surprising winner of the Grand Prize of the Wet Dream Film Festival, held in Amsterdam from 26-29 November 1970, where it premiered. Joensen immediately became an underground celebrity, and drew attention from other documentary makers as well as tourists towards her expanding farm.^{[citation needed]}

Later life and death[edit]

By the early 1970s, Joensen had managed to achieve her goal of living on her own farm with her daughter (born c. 1972),^[4] as well with her companion/partner. Reference material suggests various relationship roles, varying from companionship to partner. Some refer to Knud P. Andersen as a companion, some as a partner; one suggests platonic friendship. The source material is ambiguous. In The Dark Side of Porn: The Real Animal Farm, Joensen is quoted as saying '...I'm bored when I'm alone, and so is he, so we're good company for each other.' ^[5] Joensen helped finance the farm by allowing sex tourists to visit it and make private films with her animals.

Friends comment about that time^[1] that she was 'easily exploited by almost anyone with a camera' and that the visitors 'just wanted pornography; they didn't care about knowing her'. Neighbours, once friendly, turned dark and hostile, forcing her to move repeatedly. As the Danish adult industry began looking to other content, Joensen failed to make the transition from porn to other movies, and her financial stability and life began to fall apart. After 1972,^{[citation needed]} she experienced a sharp deterioration, undergoing very obvious physical and psychological changes, including depression, first working as a 'live show' and 'sexual roleplay' girl. By 1980, with little remaining means of income and spiralling debt, the only work she was able to retain was a hectic routine of small scale live shows most evenings. Tajiri commented, sadly: 'Accepting the 'Grand Prix' at the first Wet Dream Film Festival was the worst mistake we made with our film, but we were too flattered by the response at the time to realize it'.^[2]

Joensen commented in a 1980 interview:

Things went completely out of hand when 'Spot' died. I started taking sedatives. But when someone referred to them as 'loony-smarties' I threw them in the fireplace. Instead I started drinking and eating excessively. I gained 30 kilos. Doesn't look well on something that was going downhill anyway. 'Spot' was a real German shepherd that I got from an animals hospital 10 years ago. She had been beaten. She never became anything but a little, weak dog. I've never been able to talk to other girls. I've always been with men. 'Spot' was my female friend. She understood what I said. Was happy when I was happy. Was sad when I was. When we were alone in the house without light and heat we went to bed together. Shared a biscuit. And then we talked, until we fell asleep. 'Spot' is the only living creature that has loved me for being just me. She didn't expect to get anything back. She soothed me when I was ill. I've experienced a lot with 'Lassie', and like him a lot. But it'll never be the same as with 'Spot'. Lassie has been unfaithful to me. He's an every-girls-dog. 'Spot' was mine. Completely mine. That's why I had such a shock when she died. And started drinking, and eating myself fat in no time. I live with my man for 10 years and my eight-year-old daughter. Still I feel like the loneliest human being now that 'Spot' is dead. In those days I earned easy money in a tough line of work. I fell and fell. 'When will I reach the bottom?' I often ask myself these days.^{[citation needed]}

Animal Farm 1981 Movie

Her life falling apart, Joensen became dependent on alcohol, and progressively less able to care for her animals. In 1981, following a change in Denmark's laws, she was raided for 'sickening' animal neglect,^[6] and went to prison for 30 days. None of her animals ultimately survived, and Bodil herself did not recover after they were euthanised. With little left, she turned to street prostitution to support herself, her partner (an alcoholic himself) and daughter, although friends comment^[1] that even then, she did not want to be with people this way – all she wanted was her animals, as it once had been. Resorting to exchanging any sexual favour for alcohol and tranquilizers, she stated in her final interview that 'in my position it is hard to turn down anything, no matter how disgusting... for me, staying alive in the hooking business is hell'.^[1]

Joensen gave her last interview in 1980 and died in 1985. Many believed her to have committed suicide. However, the April 2006 UK documentary titled The Dark Side of Porn: The Real Animal Farm traced the production of the notorious underground film known as Animal Farm from excerpts of her many bestiality films. In this documentary, it was stated, by a close friend of Joensen's, that she died on 3 January 1985 from cirrhosis of the liver. She was 40 years of age at the time of her death.
