1) SPECIAL SNEAK PREVIEW...AMERICAN SWING
The Museum of Sex and Magnolia Pictures invite CineKinksters to a special advance screening of "American Swing," the new documentary about the rise and fall of the infamous NYC swing club, Plato's Retreat...

Please note ‘CineKink” in your RSVP – we have a limited number of seats available, so act quickly!
The year was 1977 and New York City burned. As the metropolis hurtled into bankruptcy, the city's nightlife hit unprecedented heights. In midtown, the ultra-exclusive Studio 54 was a cocaine-fueled celebrity playhouse. Downtown, at the spartan CBGB's, punk rockers set out to destroy everything Pop. Meanwhile, in the basement of the prestigious Ansonia building on the conservative Upper West Side, Plato's Retreat opened its doors to ordinary couples who came to dance, to swim, and...to swap.
Utilizing exclusive interviews with former patrons, employees, and family members, intercut with riveting, rare never-before-seen archival materials, “American Swing” brings this epic of excess to the big screen for the first time.
Featuring Annie Sprinkle, Betty Dodson, Veronica Vera, Al Goldstein, Buck Henry, Helen Gurley Brown, Melvin Van Peebles and Mayor Edward Koch among others.
Includes a post-screening Q&A with co-directors Mathew Kaufman and Jon Hart.
“American Swing” will open in New York on March 27th at the Quad Cinema and in Los Angeles on April 3 at the Sunset 5.
2) CINEKINK ON THE HORIZON…
No rest for the rather weary – we’ve already got more great CineKink coming at you:

3) BUT THERE’S STILL TIME…RATE AND REVIEW
You put all that time in the seats during CineKink NYC, be sure to let us know what you think! Our CineKink community on B-Side gives you the ability to rate your favorites (and, though hard to fathom, not-so-favorites) and leave reviews on the films you saw throughout the festival.
These reviews are keenly anticipated by our filmmakers, fellow audience members, other festival programmers and all of us at CineKink, as we use them to help determine and promote bookings for our upcoming tour appearances.
