1) SO MUCH KINK PROGRAMMING, SO LITTLE TIME!!!
For a closer look at the entire line-up and information on ALL of the hot works in the schedule, visit http://cinekink.bside.com/2009/schedule/
But we've got so much great programming jammed into CineKink NYC this year-and with just two weeks to go--a headliner overview of the schedule might give you a firmer grasp on how you're going to be spending February 24th to March 1st!
KICK-OFF!
Put on your shiny finery and come help us kick off the sixth annual CineKink NYC in proper style! An evening to embrace fantasy and a pansexual celebration of epic proportions, in addition to music and performance, our opening night gala will feature a trio of spectacular cinematic morsels--ARTCORE, THE BLUE ROSE and EROTIC MOMENTS. And with all proceeds going to support the continuation of CineKink’s sex-positive and kink-friendly program mission, it’s mixing and mashing for a good cause!
Tuesday, 2/24 - 8 PM

CINEKINK NYC SCREENINGS
The festivities then move to Anthology Film Archives (32 Second Avenue, NYC), Wednesday, February 25 through Saturday, February 28, with several different film and video programs scheduled for each day.
Wednesday
Among the headliners, first up, on Wednesday, February 25 at 6:45 PM, is the festival's CineKink Season Opener screening of SEX POSITIVE, a compelling profile of Richard Berkowitz, a one-time S/M hustler turned AIDS activist, and his role in shaping our understanding of safe sex.
Then, at 9:00 PM, in the psycho-sexual horror/thriller MINDFLESH, a London taxi driver must come to grips with increasingly realistic apparitions of a beautiful woman and intense fantasies that suddenly veer well beyond the realm of consent.
Thursday
On Thursday, February 26 at 6:45 PM it's WHIPS & RESTRAINT, a kinky collection of shorts that dip into the toy-bag and play with the dynamics of sexual power and release, control and submission.
Then, at 9 PM, put on your favorite dress-up for LIPSTICK & CRINOLINES, a colorfully pansexual mash-up of gender frolics, blurred boundaries, several pairs of Lycra bicycle shorts--and some very high style!
Friday
On Friday, February 27 at 6:45 PM, THE WORKSHOP travels to a wooded glade near San Francisco, where people gather to take part in a controversial 10-day seminar that challenges the boundaries of normal convention and takes on societal constructs of sexuality and monogamy.
At 9 PM the shorts program, WANTON FEMALE DESIRE, offers up some general—and generally salacious--guidance as to what it is that a woman might want. Maybe.
And at 11:10 PM, GRAPHIC SEXUAL HORROR takes a long peek behind the imposing facade of the notorious bondage website Insex.com, to explore the dark mind of its artistic creator and ask hard questions about consent and personal responsibility.
Saturday
Kicking off Saturday, February 28 at 12:30 PM, playing with several other BDSM-related shorts, KINKY is a sexy, informative and humorous look at black sexuality, fetish and kink.
At 2:30 PM, HAPPY ENDINGS? is an intriguing exploration of the Asian massage parlor industry in a city where a 25-year-old loophole has made the exchange of sex for money a legal--as long as it happens indoors.
At 4:30 PM, the comedic MARTA'S SEX TAPE, about a painter who decides to make "special films" to pay off a loan, plays with two other colorful shorts tied to the ins-and-outs of work in the adult sphere.
At 6:45 PM it's TWISTED KNICKERS, a swirl of assorted kinky comedic bits, some of them funny "ha-ha," some of them just, well, a little bit off-kilter.
At 9 PM, THE AUTEUR, a mélange of romantic comedy and raunchy satire set in the world of adult film, tells the story of renowned porn director Arturo Domingo, the creative genius behind such classics as 'Five Easy Nieces' and 'Requiem for a Wet Dream.'
And, closing out the festival's regular screening schedule at 11:10 PM, a special event, BRING IT!, features a dazzling array of talent from today's adult cinema, each representing a wide range of genres and visual styles, all stepping up with a hot sampling of their recent creative endeavors.
