1) CINEKINK KICKS OFF ... TUESDAY!
Tuesday, February 26th - 8:00 pm
Kick-Off Gala & Opening Night Screening
Put on your shiny finery and come help us kick off the fifth annual CineKink NYC in proper style! A pansexual celebration of epic proportions, in addition to music, performances, free cocktails and a kinky fundraising raffle, our opening night gala will feature screenings of these special cinematic wonders:
SCHWARZWALD
(Directed by Richard Kimmel, 2007, USA, 59 minutes.)
A rich, modern tapestry combining elements of Druidic ritual with the passionate, leather-clad goings-on that transpire at NYC's annual Black Party, SCHWARZWALD follows the travails of the Black Prince as he is pursued through the woods and kidnapped by the nefarious underlings of the conniving Black Queen. Starring Buck Angel, the world famous female-to-male transsexual porn star, along with a cast of literal thousands, this is a sumptuous visual feast. And, featuring a continuous mix of music, truly the movie you can dance to!
(Or not - remember, "whatever you're into!")
plus!
TEAM QUEEN
The best of New York burlesque in a gender-bending, fire-breathing, tassel-twirling, post-punk rock 'n roll prom! (Leah Meyerhoff, 2007, USA, 4 minutes.)
A DOG'S TALE
Sensuous and layered, a black-and-white reverie on control and submission, longing and desire. (Steven Speliotis, 2007, USA, 16 minutes.)
Featured performers for the evening include:
Dizzy Swank - putting the burly in burlesque!
JZ Bich - gender queer diva!
Ignacio Rivera - artist & activist!
Cherry Bomb - the queen of cream!
Plus, a special raffle to benefit the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom!
Among the prizes:
An exclusive Schwarzald-edition ticket package to the Black Party!
Complimentary weekend registration for Dark Odyssey's upcoming WinterFire!
SPECIAL LOCATION:
Taj, 48 West 21st Street, NYC
SPECIAL ADMISSION:
$20/$15 advance; students/seniors $12, advance only.

3) THE WEEK AHEAD AT CINEKINK...
WEDNESDAY
Once we've been properly kicked off, the action then moves to Anthology Film Archives (32 Second Avenue, NYC), where we'll remain through Saturday night. First up, on Wednesday, February 27 at 7 PM, is the festival's CineKink Tribute screening of SHORTBUS, honoring the ground-breaking film for its "extraordinary depiction of kink in mainstream film and television." Then, at 9:30 PM, a program titled "New York Stories," surveys adult entertainment offerings from New York-based directors Radley Metzger, plus Tony DiMarco, Venus Hottentot, Michael Lucas, Porno Jim, Audacia Ray and Candida Royalle.
THURSDAY
On Thursday, February 28 at 7 PM is TRIPLE X SELECTS: THE BEST OF LEZSPLOITATION, an international feast of lesbian-exploitation highlights from the 1960s and '70s, presented in all of their notoriously twisted glory, followed at 9 PM by VIVA, the sordid tale of a bored housewife who gets swept up in the sexual revolution, a highly stylized film that draws on classic exploitation cinema for its look, characters and story-line.
FRIDAY
On Friday, February 29 at 7 PM, it's CALL ME TROY, an inspirational and moving tribute to gay activist and spiritual leader, Reverend Troy Perry. At 9:15 PM, SUSAN FOR NOW is a first-person account of a woman reclaiming her sexual freedom after a ten-year period of self-imposed celibacy. And at 11:15 PM, it's SEX MANNEQUIN and SUPERFREAK, a shape-shifting, body-swapping double-header of girl-girl adventures.
SATURDAY
Kicking off Saturday, March 1 at 1 PM, "Lust, Animation!" is a colorful collection of naughty bits - some animated, all with lust burning hot in their hearts. At 3 PM, "Chick Flicks" presents works by women directors that incorporate explicit sex into their stories of hook-ups and romance. At 5 PM, during "Women Behind the Lens," a panel of female directors will discuss their roles within the adult entertainment industry and the individual approach each takes in depicting sexuality on screen. At 7 PM, it's "Mix, Match & Mingle," a round-up of shorts that look at the delights - and some dilemmas - of moving beyond monogamy, followed by "Give & Take" at 9 PM, a kinky collection of works that probe, prod and play with the dynamics of sexual power and release, control and submission. And, rounding out the day's screening schedule at 11 PM, THE THREE TRIALS is a dark, fairy-tale fantasy set against a backdrop of sexual fetishes.
SUNDAY
Festival screenings move to Pioneer Theater on Sunday, March 2 at 1 PM with the New York premiere of ANNIE SPRINKLE'S HERSTORY OF PORN, featuring the best (and worst) clips from dozens of the 150+ films that Annie Sprinkle made from 1973 onwards. At 3 PM, "Sunday How-To Sex-O-Rama" is a selection of excerpts taken from top-notch educational and how-to offerings. Concluding the festival's regular screenings at 5 PM, the US premiere of SILKEN SLEEVES sensuously presents four seasons of domination and submission as rendered by bondage expert and artisan, Midori.
CINEKINK AWARDS CELEBRATION - Sunday @ 6:30 pm
Come out and drink a toast to this year's fantastic crop of CineKink filmmakers! Featuring encore screenings of jury-selected best shorts from the festival, along with presentations of the annual CineKink Awards.
CINEKINK AFTERGLOW - Sunday @ 8:30 pm
But wait, there's more! Be sure to come out for our popular Afterglow Party, one last chance to meet, mix and mingle with your fellow CineKinksters and enjoy a few more select screenings, this time in a relaxed play party setting. Snuggle into the sofas, find yourself a private nook or recline across a spanking bench and settle in for one final evening of CineKinky goodness unfolding all around you. Not to be missed! (Please note that a very limited number of $25 advance purchase admission will be released; priority VIP admission will be given to CineKink NYC All-Access Pass holders.)
