CineKink Season Opener!
WRITER OF O
Directed by Pola Rapaport, 2004, USA, 80 minutes.
Published in Paris in 1954, "Story of O" was an immediate bestseller and literary scandal: an elegantly written S/M fantasy by the pseudonymous Pauline RŽage. Years later, Dominique Aury, a mild-mannered editor for a prestigious French publisher, revealed that she was, in fact, the author. This rich documentary explores her original inspirations, recreating the world of literary Paris and setting it against vivid dramatic sequences that bring the infamous book to life - expounding on the thorny relationship between sexuality and power, submission and freedom, liberation and non-being.

Directed by Robert Dunlap, 2005, USA, 90 minutes.

In this documentary she reveals some of her most renowned escapades, ruminates on her rise to fame and eventual deportation from the United States, and discusses how her infamous exploits both drew upon and affected relationships with her family - all for an insightful look at an important sexual revolutionary and a telling portrait of a very particular historical time.
Thursday, October 20th - 7 pm
ORIGINAL PRIDE: THE SATYRS MOTORCYCLE CLUB
Directed by Scott Bloom, 2005, USA, 56 minutes.
One of the first gay men's social organizations ever, The Satyrs Motorcycle Club was formed in 1954 and remains a vital group of Harley-riding, bearded and leather-clad men-loving men. This is first a journey back to that illustrious start, offering a look at the men who were there and framing their stories, memories and ongoing influences on the leather community. And then a trip of the present-day, a visit with The Satyrs at their annual outing in a remote Northern California location, where thousands of gay bikers gather and play in the woods.

MADE IN SECRET: THE STORY OF THE EAST VAN PORN COLLECTIVE
One Tiny Whale, 2004, Canada, 86 minutes.
An enthralling and deliciously perplexing labor of love, made over the course of three years by a group of friends who wanted to make a documentary about their local anarcho-feminist pansexual porn production collective. The only problem was, that collective didn't exist - so they had to become it, meaning they had to actually make anarcho-feminist pansexual porn. Starring, quite naturally, themselves. Is the resulting film a documentary? A drama? (Wait - which film?!) Even the collective doesn't know for sure.
