CINEKINK KICKS OFF ... TUESDAY!
Tuesday, October 17 – 8 pm
Special Location: Bacchus, 515 W. 29th Street, (@ 10th Avenue) NYC
Admission: $20 advance/$25 door, if available.
This year's kick off gala moves to Bacchus and meeting us there will be none other than that fabulous cabaret duo, The Wet Spots!
Pairing sophisticated lyrics with sweet, catchy melodies, the Wet Spots are known for lively performances that incorporate sing-alongs, spankings and bawdy sex-education. Fresh from a world tour, the duo will be performing such melodious musical marvels as "Bi-Curious George," "Piggy Pile" and their internet music video smash hit, "Do You Take It?"
For a sneak peek at the music video, go http://www.cinekink.com/trailer/2006/wetspots.html
Then pick up your discount advance ticket - http://www.smarttix.com/show.aspx?showcode=CIN21 - and come on down!
The festivities will also include a special raffle to benefit the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom. Your chance to support a wonderful cause and maybe take home one of many great prizes, including a gleaming stainless steel toy from the folks at Njoy!
THE REWARDS OF ALTERNATIVE SEX
Discounted CineKink NYC passes, covering admission to all 14 film programs, the kick-off gala, the closing awards celebration AND the “afterglow” party, are already a fantastic deal at $75 - but they're even better at $65 for members of any alternative sex organization. (A potential savings of over $100!!)
For a closer look at the entire line-up and information on ALL of the hot works you'll be enjoying during the festival, visit http://www.cinekink.com/program/ - then click on the SmartTix logo to purchase your pass.
Or, go directly to http://www.smarttix.com/package.aspx?showcode=CIN31
That's it - see you at CineKink NYC!
THE WEEK AHEAD AT CINEKINK
Once we’ve been properly kicked off, the action then moves to Anthology Film Archives (32 Second Avenue, NYC), where we'll remain for the majority of the festival screenings. First up, on Wednesday, October 18 at 7 PM, is the festival's season opener, "Notorious Bettie Page," which artfully traces the pin-up icon's rise to infamy. Then, at 9 PM, it's a trip to London for the 15th anniversary celebration of the world's largest fetish/body arts club, "Torture Garden TGX."
Thursday
On Thursday, October 19 at 6:30 PM is "Vice and Consent," a documentary visit with such prominent, long-standing members of the BDSM community as Midori, Jay Wiseman, Janet Hardy and Cleo Dubois. At 8:30 PM, "The Sex Movie" brings together four long-time friends for a sexy evening of cat-and-mouse. Then, at 10:30 PM, "The Amateurs" begs the question of whether three would-be pornographers will ever achieve their dubious aim.
Friday
On Friday, October 20 at 6:30 PM, it's "Webcam Girls," a funny and engaging visit with four outspoken pioneers of the girlcam frontier, including NYC's own Ducky Doolittle, who will be hosting the screening. At 8:30 PM a program of explicit works created with a female audience in mind, "Chick Flicks," debunks the silly notion that women aren't visually responsive beings. And at 10:30 PM, "Other Peoples Mirrors" is a dark, pseudo sci-fi centered around one woman's belief that by following the taboo-breaking directives of alien beings she will escape to her own nirvana.
Saturday
Kicking off Saturday, October 21 at 12:30 PM, "Orgasmic Women: 13 Self-Loving Divas" share their intimate insights with renowned sexologist Betty Dodson. At 2:30 PM, "Tears Before Bedtime" takes a jaunt through the world of S/M and kink in Sydney, Australia. At 4:30, an illustrious panel of New York-based directors discusses "The State of Smut: NYC," with plenty of clips to back them up. At 6:30 PM, it's "Power Plays," short works that probe, prod and play with the dynamics of sexual power and fantasy, followed by "Passion Plays" at 8:30 PM, a collection of erotic, sometimes explicit pieces that dance along the supposed boundary of art, including the just-banned-in-Australia "Damon and Hunter." And, rounding out the CineKink NYC screening schedule at 10:30 PM, it's "O - Power of Submission," a lush contemporary adaptation of the literary S/M classic from acclaimed director Ernest Greene.
CineKink Awards Celebration - Sunday
On Sunday, you get to sleep in a bit - then it's time to put on your shiny finery and head back to Bacchus to toast this year's fantastic crop of CineKink filmmakers and award winners. Scheduled for 7 PM, the festivities will feature encore screenings of jury-selected best shorts from the festival, along with presentations of the festival's annual awards.
But wait, there's more! - then stick around for the Afterglow Party, starting at 8:30 PM, your last chance to meet and, er, mingle with like-minded festival-goers. Lounge on the sofas, descend into the pillow pit or even recline across a spanking bench and settle in for one final evening of featured screenings and CineKinky goodness playing out all around you. Not to be missed!
Special Location:
Bacchus, 515 W. 29th Street (near 10th Ave.), NYC
Special Admission: $15 advance/$20 door if available; $5 for awards only
