1) TONIGHT @ CINEKINK: EXPLOITATION!
We're just getting started - still plenty of time to jump on board – and tonight it’s a hot double-bill of steamy exploitation!
***Thursday, February 28th - 7:00 pm
TRIPLE X SELECTS: THE BEST OF LEZSPLOITATION
Directed/compiled by Michelle Johnson (aka DJ Triple X), 2007, USA, 48 minutes.
An international feast of lezsploitation from the 1960s and '70s in all of its notoriously twisted glory. Accented by music reflecting the era and featuring a wacked-out scientific commentary, a compilation of selections from over twenty films brings together and re-appropriates Swedish wildcats, Italian lesbionic nuns, frisky inmates in South American prisons, Euro vampires - and a vast assortment of other Sapphic grindhouse frolics.

World Premiere!
DIRTY WORDS: THE LETTER C
T. Arthur Cottam, 2007, USA, 3 minutes.
And today's special letter...
PILLOW GIRL
Ronnie Cramer, 2006, USA, 8 minutes
The lurid covers of over 200 vintage paperbacks were scanned and then morphed together, each colorful illustration merging from one into the next.
HIGHWAY AMAZON
Ronnie Cramer, 2002, USA, 12 minutes
The compelling saga of female bodybuilder Christine Fetzer, who earns her living traveling the country and wrestling men on hotel room beds.

***Thursday, February 28th - 9:00 pm
VIVA
Directed by Anna Biller, 2006, USA, 120 minutes.
The sordid tale of a bored housewife who gets swept up in the sexual revolution, VIVA is a highly stylized film that draws on classic exploitation cinema for its look, characters and story-line. Saturated to the hilt with vibrant color and exquisitely detailed in its depiction of the period and the genre, it follows the adventures of Barbi who, abandoned by her perfect Ken-doll husband, is dragged out on the town and into trouble by her "women's lib"-spouting girlfriend. An innocent in a sea of wolves, Barbi becomes "Viva" and quickly learns a lot more than she ever thought she wanted to know about the wild 1970s - nudists, swingers, hippies, orgies and lesbians - oh, my!

2) FRIDAY @ CINEKINK: ACTIVISM, EXPLORATION & A GIRL-GIRL DOUBLEHEADER!
Friday/7:00 PM
First up on Friday, at 7:00 pm, from CineKink award-winner Scott Bloom (“Original Pride” Audience Choice, CineKink/2005), it’s the New York premiere of CALL ME TROY, an inspirational and moving tribute to gay activist and spiritual leader, Reverend Troy Perry. Perhaps best known as the founder of the Metropolitan Community Church - the first church to recognize the spiritual needs of the gay community - Perry has long been on the front lines in leading the charge for equality and protections for all. And, a proud leatherman, he's also been an unwavering proponent for the God-given right to embrace and explore our sexuality - just exactly as we are.

Friday/9:15
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. Following the filmmaker's personal quest through the sex-positive community in Seattle and into the world of sadomasochism, the film also provides insights into the hearts and minds of articulate and sincere individuals from every walk of life, and how they practice BDSM in a consensual and responsible manner. Also playing is THE LEATHERMAN, in which Norwegian S/M activist Svein Skeid takes to the streets (and dungeons) of Oslo, and the world premiere of F/F, a visit to Folsom Street and beyond with three-time-CineKink alum, Charles Lum!

Friday/11:15
And at 11:15 PM, it's SEX MANNEQUIN and SUPERFREAK, a shape-shifting, body-swapping double-header of girl-girl adventures. First, from Maria Beatty, a mannequin comes alive to the stroke and kiss of her mistress, ready to passionately serve - and to take - in a variety of kinky ways. And then, from Shine L. Houston, the lascivious spirit of a certain funk singer crashes a girl-girl party, inhabiting the bodies of its participants and creating much erotic mayhem.
