CineKink Festival Tour Hits Chicago for a Hot, One-Night Stand / Saturday, September 21
September 9, 2013 – CHICAGO, IL – The 2013 CineKink Festival makes a sexy stop in the Windy City after a sold-out screening in Oakland, as its national tour brings the one-night screening of sex-positive and kink-friendly films to Chicago on Saturday, September 21. CINEKINK: CHICAGO will begin at 7pm with a screening of the “Best of CineKink/2013,” followed by the audience-award-winning feature film Remedy, at 9pm. Both screenings will take place at Leather Archives and Museum (6418 N Greenview Ave, Chicago, IL).
“Our collaboration with the Leather Archives has been an amazing, long-standing partnership,” says Lisa Vandever, Co-Founder and Director of CineKink. “They’ve been a wonderful repeat sponsor of the CineKink national tour, and we’re delighted to bring the screenings to their home town yet again for Chicago kinksters.”
The “Best of CineKink/2013” short films program is comprised of productions awarded prizes by CineKink jurors at the annual CineKink NYC festival, which takes place each year in late February. With works ranging from documentary to drama, comedy to experimental, mildly spicy to quite explicit, this year’s edition includes'50 Seconds of 50 Shades' (Bo Blaze), 'Naked Love: Ea’s Garden' (Sara Kimmel), 'Impact' (Mollena Williams), 'Rift' (Keith Hodder), 'Ritual' (Jörg Fockele), 'Zucht Und Ordnung' (Jan Soldat), 'Amber' (Aven Frey, Gala Vanting, and Frank Ly), 'Krutch' (Clark Matthews), and Pinecone (Michael Markham). The Chicago screening will also feature'One Nightstand,' a piece by local filmmaker Giancarlo Iannotta.
Immediately following the shorts program, CineKink will present the award-winning dramatic feature, 'Remedy,' from filmmaker Cheyenne Picardo. Based on her personal experiences in the world of professional domination and submission, Remedy received an Audience Choice Award for Best Narrative Feature at the New York festival.
Tickets are available at the door for both screenings at $10 per. Advance tickets are $8 per screening, or $15 for both the shorts program and the feature, with additional discounts available for members of the museum and/or CineKink.
