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 Réage. 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.

THE HAPPY HOOKER: XAVIERA HOLLANDER
Directed by Robert Dunlap, 2005, USA, 90 minutes.
More than thirty years after her autobiography "The Happy Hooker" hit the
best-seller lists and rocked American society, Xaviera Hollander's notoriety
as an international madam lives on. 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.

riveting documentary introduces the mentors, muses and masochists who have
inspired his artistic endeavors over the years, giving a glimpse into a

an advanced driving course in sex' and where the initiated take carnal
license to extreme limits. (A 35-minute work-in-progress version of LIBERTY
IN RESTRAINT screened last year at CineKink and was named Best Short
Documentary.)

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.
