***Thursday, February 26th - 6:45 PM
"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.
Program includes:
GRAVUREN DESADE
(John Campbell, 1992, USA, 3 minutes)
Super-imposed symbolism and deliberately degraded film texture are used to depict engravings from the work of the Marquis de Sade.
BUTLER
(Erik Rosenlund, 2005, Sweden, 9 minutes)
A butler finds himself in the middle of a kinky love triangle as he tends to his employers' every need.
US Premiere!
IN THE CLOSET
(Hungry Heart, 2007, Norway, 3 minutes)
As illustrated in this music video from Hungry Heart, always be sure to put your toys away when you're done playing.
World Premiere!
20 LICKS
(Joseph S. Valle, 2008, USA, 2 minutes)
This performance piece demonstrates the pleasures and pain of a sadomasochistic relationship with the self.
US Premiere!
BELLE DE NATURE
(Maria Beatty, 2008, France, 12 minutes)
Beautiful Clara gives her over her tender flesh to the whimsical subjugations of nature.
East Coast Premiere!
SERVING MADAME GINA
(Gabriele Hoff, PsyD, 2008, USA, 25 minutes)
Living together in a Master/slave relationship, while Madame Gina treats her "property" to occasional dungeon scenes that include floggings and bondage, most of their 24/7 situation centers around Mercedes's role as servant, Lady-in-Waiting, maid and house-slave.
World Premiere!
KINK, INC.
(Casey Clark, 2008, USA, 27 minutes)
Struggling to make ends meet, a young couple answers a help-wanted ad and unwittingly sets forth on a career path in 'home domination.' Their lost love is rekindled as they explore the playful sensuality of the training process, but they are ill prepared when a very real client arrives and makes demands of these S/M novices.
Filmmakers John Campbell (GRAVUREN DESADE), Sofia Varino (IN THE CLOSET), Gabriele Hoff (SERVING MADAME GINA), along with Casey Clark, Dean Strober and Lena Armstrong (KINK, INC), will all be on hand for a Q&A discussion following the screening.

***Thursday, February 26th - 9:00 PM
"Lipsticks & Crinoline"
A colorfully pansexual mash-up of gender frolics, blurred boundaries, several pairs of Lycra bicycle shorts--and some very high style!
Works include:
World Premiere!
MISS JEZEBEL'S FEATHERS
(Jesse Miksic, 2008, USA, 5 minutes)
An experimental short, featuring burlesque talent Miss Jezebel Express, that uses the form of a stag film to explore color, texture, movement and the exhibitionist-performer dynamic.
DORIAN: A PICTURE
(Joe E. Jeffreys, 2008, USA, 6 minutes)
Retired NYC female impersonator, Dorian Wayne, shares clips and memories from an impressive career that included a turn as Dominata in the cult film "She Man" and many good times performing at the Jewel Box Revue and the 82 Club.
US Premiere!
PRITCH AND PANCH DO... THE CINDERFELLA EXPERIENCE
AT MISS VERA'S FINISHING SCHOOL
(Dylan Wynn Davies, 2005, United Kingdom, 25 minutes)
In this pilot for UK Channel 4's Comedy Lab, two rowdy "boyos," Pritch and Panch, go through a male-to-female transformation under the tutelage of Miss Vera and the deans of Miss Vera's Finishing School for Boys Who Want to Be Girls, the world's first crossdressing academy.
East Coast Premiere!
THE TOUR DE PANTS
(Luke Woodward, 2008, USA, 39 minutes)
At the first-ever Tour de Pants bicycle race--featuring an all-queer and trans, all-star cast--dirty bikers pound much more than concrete as they compete for the grand prize, the Golden Panties.
Directors Jesse Miksic and Joe E. Jeffreys will be joining us for a post-screening discussion, along with Miss Jezebel Express (you LOVED her at the kick-off gala!) and the inimitable Miss Vera herself, who suggests you feel free to put on your fanciest garb for the evening - and invites you to continue the gender frolics at a Nowhere Bar afterparty to follow the screening.
