TONIGHT AT CINEKINK NYC!
The kinky goodness just won't stop!
*** FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21st - 7 pm***

New York Premiere!
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.

WOMEN IN LOVE
Directed by Karen Everett, 2005, USA, 59 minutes.
Turning the camera on herself and a remarkable community of culturally significant sex radicals in San Francisco, filmmaker Karen Everett looks at ways of loving that range from friendship to marriage to brief encounters of the passionate kind, for a video autobiography that dares much and bares all. Featuring appearances by renowned lesbian filmmakers Jacki and Shar ('Bend Over Boyfriend' and 'How to F*ck in High Heels') and photographer Phyllis Christopher, this riveting documentary poses universal questions about the nature of relationships, both monogamous and polyamorous.

LOOKING AHEAD - SATURDAY AT CINEKINK
Saturday gets off to a rousing start at 1 PM, as HEARTS CRACKED OPEN: TANTRA FOR WOMEN WHO LOVE WOMEN provides Tantric practices of specific use to lesbian and bisexual women, while DR. SUZY'S SQUIRT SALON celebrates the explosive secrets of the elusive G-spot.
At 3 PM, documentary and porn meet in ENOUGH MAN, a groundbreakingly intimate video about sex and sexuality from the perspective of female-to-male (FTM) transmen, along with a trio of shorts that fall out in various places on that same gender-bending spectrum.
At 5 PM, the program "A Bear, A Pup and Lots of Uniforms" visits the sometimes elaborate, always intriguing worlds of fantasy roleplay, from a puppy's rigorous preparation for a human canine competition to the precise discipline of the Dyke Uniform Corps.
Then at 7 PM, ah, romance! - it's "Negotiations and Love Songs," a collection of short give-and-takes on the ebb and flow of power and erotic control in a range of relationships.
At 9 PM, full of rich performances, GOING UNDER is a sensuous and emotionally complex tale of seemingly impossible love between a married psychotherapist and a professional dominatrix.
And, rounding everything out at 11:15 PM, PORNOLOGY NEW YORK is a gritty paean to underground New York, circa 1970-85, and some of its most colorful protagonists.
