In this funny, sexy romp, a woman dreams she's been transformed into a sheep.

Wednesday, February 17th - 6:45 pm
S&M JUDGE
(Erik Lamens, 2009, Belgium, 84 minutes)
Desperate to save his marriage, a respected judge reluctantly gives in to fulfilling the masochistic desires his wife has been hiding from him for decades. Initially shocked at her revelation, his love helps him overcome his inhibitions, and they begin to enjoy a secret life in the city's underground S/M scene. But when the two are caught up in a police sting, his arrest and trial cause a national scandal. While their activities have been purely consensual, the court views his participation as criminal, putting his job, reputation and family life in jeopardy. (Based on a true Belgian incident.)
The director of the film, Erik Lamens, along with NCSF founder Susan Wright, will be in attendance for a post-screening discussion and Q&A.
Location: Anthology Film Archives, 32 Second Avenue (@ 2nd St.), NYC
Admission: $10/door, $8/advance

3) THE WEEK AHEAD AT CINEKINK...
Once we've been properly kicked off tonight, the festivities then move to Anthology Film Archives (32 Second Avenue, NYC), Wednesday, February 17 through Saturday, February 20, with several different film and video programs scheduled for each day.
WEDNESDAY
Among the headliners, first up on Wednesday, February 17 at 6:45 PM, is the festival's CineKink Season Opener screening of S&M JUDGE (see above!), a compelling drama in which a respected judge finds his job, reputation and family life in jeopardy after he and his wife begin to explore sadomasochism. Then, at 9:10 PM, the documentary BODY MODIFICATION FREAKS, takes a first-hand look at several Japanese underground scenes--tattoo, piercing and body modification--with photographer and journalist Ryoichi "Keroppy" Maeda, himself a long-time member of the body modification community.
THURSDAY
On Thursday, February 18 at 6:45 PM it's KINDA KINKY?, a collection of kinky shorts that will whet your appetite for a slap of the hand and a taste of the deviant. Then, at 9:10 PM, “boylesque” sensation WAXIE MOON takes the world of neo-burlesque by storm in a hilarious and thought-provoking portrait of one artist's unlikely journey.
FRIDAY
On Friday, February 19 at 6:45 PM, MODERN LOVE IS AUTOMATIC is the darkly comic tale of an apathetic nurse who moonlights as a dominatrix, her aspiring model roommate, and the sad, strange world in which they live. At 9:10 PM, SWINGERS has first-timers Diana and Julian inviting a couple they’ve met online to join them for an adventurous weekend in the country. And at 11:00 PM, DES JOURS PLUS BELLES QUE LA NUIT, a collaboration partly from CineKink award-winner Jennifer Lyon Bell, is an homage to real, explicit love shot in real-time, opening the door to a world where arousal creeps up slowly and sweetly until it ignites.
SATURDAY
Kicking off Saturday, February 20 at 1:00 PM, MY SEXUALITY: A SENSORY EXPERIENCE shines light on five ordinary women from different backgrounds, sexual preferences and past experiences as they experiment with five deliciously different activities intended to boost both sense of self and sexuality. At 3:00 PM a special industry showcase, 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. At 5:50 PM, FIXATION is a diverse collection of sexy shorts, with each focused obsessively on that one, particular…something. At 8:00 PM it's YES, MISTRESS, the film shorts program that asks (and sometimes answers!) the question: “How may I be of service?” And, closing out the festival's regular screening schedule at 10:10 PM, STORIES OF SEX(ES) is a sexy French romp--with sex included!—where two cheerful circles of friends, men and women
divided, spend a night of intimate chatting about their erotic adventures, conquests, disappointments and fantasies.
CINEKINK AWARDS CELEBRATION - Sunday, 2/21 @ 6:00 pm
Be sure to 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. (FREE admission; location: Fontana's, 124 Eldridge St.)
CINEKINK AFTERGLOW PARTY - Sunday, 2/21 @ 8:30 pm

Lounge on 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!
