El Satario (Spanish: The Satyr), also known as El Sartorio or ”The Devil”, is the name of one of the earliest surviving pornographic films. Based on the fashions and technology depicted, it was likely produced in Argentina around 1907, and includes possibly the first use of extreme close-ups of genitalia. One author has suggested that it may instead date to 1930s Cuba.[2] It has also been suggested that the film is intended as a parody of Vaslav Nijinsky's ballet Afternoon of a Faun.[3]

Plot
While a group of nude young women are frolicking in the countryside, a satyr appears (called a devil in a titlecard), causing the women to flee. One of the women faints and is sexually assaulted by him, first in 69 position and then in various penile-vaginal positions, until he ejaculates in her vagina. At points he also attempts to finger her anus, an act she vigorously resists. The other women then return and put him to flight.
Release
The Kinsey Institute dates the film between 1907 and 1912.[4] Journalist Kurt Tucholsky described in a 1913 article his experience viewing several stag films in Berlin, one of which has a similar description to El Satario.[5]
