In tracing the history of the contest, the documentary also reveals the many ways that the Leather community, once a small, insular niche, has expanded into the mainstream. And it delves into the aspirations of its contestants, past and present, as they transform their lives through a competition that celebrates not only the art and beauty of masculinity, but also upholds the importance of service and community.
Features interviews with IML’s founder, Chuck Renslow, along with past title-holders Guy Baldwin, Mikel Gerle, David Kloss, Tony Mills, John Pendal and Jeff Tucker.

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, March 2 at 7:00 PM, is the festival's CineKink Season Opener screening of KINK CRUSADERS, a documentary look at the International Mr. Leather contest, an annual event that draws thousands of men from around the world to compete for a title and a sash.
Then, at 9:15 PM, SEXUAL RADAR, posits the comedic possibilities of a misanthropic detective suddenly able to "hear" the pansexual fantasies and musings of those around him.
*THURSDAY
On Thursday, March 3 at 7:00 PM, it's CRAVE, a colorful collection of shorts that look longingly at a wide range of desires and fixations.
And at 9:00 PM, AN OPEN INVITATION: A REAL SWINGERS PARTY IN SAN FRANCISCO follows a happily-married couple as their rather staid relationship is elevated and erotically-charged by a chance introduction to the swing lifestyle-all culminating in their appearance at a "real life" sex party extravaganza.
*FRIDAY
On Friday, March 4 at 6:45 PM, the shorts program ADVENTURES IN THE SKIN TRADE looks at various nuances when sex, work and money intersect.
At 9:00 PM, LUST, LOVE, LIFE is a sexy, date-night collection of shorts celebrating some all-crucial four-letter words.
And in CAGED, at 10:40 PM, a woman admits to her true sexual desires after years of marriage--and finds herself forced to fight for both her freedom and her life.
*SATURDAY
Kicking off Saturday, March 5 at 1:00 PM, an autobiographical documentary, RUN, RUN, IT'S HIM, explores in intimate detail how one man's relationship to porn has warped his understanding of women and dominated his personal interactions.
At 3:15 PM a panel discussion, PORN AGAIN, moves beyond polarizing debate to consider porn-making that is grounded in both pleasure and ethics.
At 5:30 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 8:00 PM, PRIDE & PREDILECTIONS is a fun and festive assortment of shorts about sexual orientation, identity and one's place in the world.
And, closing out the festival's regular screening schedule at 10:10 PM, INDIETRO unravels the late-night visit of Honey and Nick--two suburban "vanillas"--to the mysterious and sprawling home of George and Martha, the king and queen of kink, and their "maid," Camille.
CINEKINK AWARDS CELEBRATION - Sunday, 3/6 @ 6:00 pm
