CineKink Season Opener!
S&M SALLY
Directed by Michelle Ehlen, 2015, USA, 79 minutes. NYC premiere.
In this raucous comedy, when a lesbian finds out her girlfriend has spent time exploring BDSM, her insecurities about falling behind in the bedroom push her to propose that they start going to underground clubs together. Identifying as the butch one in a traditional butch/femme couple, Jamie, aka the pseudonymous "Sally," assumes she will take the dominant role in their escapades, with Jill as her submissive, but Jill has ideas of her own. Meanwhile, friends David and Lola compete to see who's cool enough to go through with a polyamorous, bisexual threesome. (Stars Michelle Ehlen, Jen McPherson, Shaela Cook, Scott Keiji Takeda and Adrian Gonzalez.)
preceded by
TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES OF INTIMACY
Stars CineKink alumnus Buck Angel and Marianna Marroquin as a trans-man and a trans-woman trying to salvage their romantic relationship via new sexual horizons. (Directed by Joel Moffett, 2015, USA, 19 minutes.)

Wednesday, March 2 – 9:15 PM
THE PLEASURE OF ROPE
Directed by Bob Bentley, 2015, USA, 80 minutes. US premiere.
Explores the Japanese art of rope bondage and the people who practice it, sometimes obsessively. Kinbaku, also called Shibari, has origins in the medieval world. Almost forgotten, it has since been rediscovered in modern times, growing from a niche practice on the BDSM scene into a popular passion for many men, women and couples in Japan and throughout the West. Documentary features performances and interviews with Esinem, Gestalta, Nawashi Murakawa, Midori, Kinoko Hajime, Kazami Ranki, Wykd Dave & Clover, Tuppy Owens, Xue, Boy Kitten, Vlada & Falco, and Akira Naka & Iroha Shizuki, Miumi-U & Gorgone and many more.
Flux
Explores how the intensity of a BDSM connection translates to movement and time.
Directed by Four Chambers, 2015, United Kingdom, 8 minutes.

3) THE WEEK AHEAD AT CINEKINK...
THURSDAY
On Thursday, March 3 at 7:00 PM, the shorts program MIX & MINGLE offers up a range of libidinous pursuits, from solo act to group expression. Then, at 9:15 PM, the Swedish feature KIM follows a young artist as she struggles to come to terms with whether she's dominant, submissive...or both.
FRIDAY
On Friday, March 4 at 7:00 PM, a documentary, THE RED UMBRELLA DIARIES, digs deep into the personal experiences of people who trade sex for a living, illuminating the complexities and contradictions that sex workers face. And at 9:30 PM, COMING OUT LIKE A PORN STAR: SEX WORKERS' WORDS AND WISDOM, is a special event bringing together the likes of Jiz Lee, Stoya, Chelsea Poe, Colin and Angie Rowntree, Morgana Muses and Onyx Keesha to share their personal experiences around coming out - or not - about their involvement in the porn industry.
SATURDAY
Kicking off Saturday, March 5 at 1:00 PM, the shorts program SCARLET WOMEN takes a direct gaze back at societal norms, staking a claim for female agency and all desires fulfilled.
At 3:00 PM, CineKink's annual porn 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 endeavors.
At 5:40 PM, a double-feature, SECTOR KING ZULU KING and GONE, explores the mixed emotions of lust, longing, love...and loss.
At 7:50 PM, a collection of shorts, RITES & ROLES, focuses on the rituals we practice and the roles we play, touching upon a range of kinky connections.
And at 10:00 PM, the festival's closing competition film, SCHNICK SCHNACK SCHNUCK, a refreshingly up-to-date and sun-dappled homage to 1970s porn, combines explicit sex with a playful take on relationships, love, sex and jealousy.
