TONIGHT AT CINEKINK!
And at long last, CineKink NYC rolls out on the silver screen...
***Wednesday, October 19th - 7 pm
CineKink Season
Opener!
WRITER OF O
Directed by Pola Rapaport, 2004, USA, 80 minutes.
Published in Paris in 1954, "Story of O" was an immediate bestseller and literary scandal: an elegantly written S/M fantasy by the pseudonymous Pauline Reage. Years later, Dominique Aury, a mild-mannered editor for a prestigious French publisher, revealed that she was, in fact, the author. This rich documentary explores her original inspirations, recreating the world of literary Paris and setting it against vivid dramatic sequences that bring the infamous book to life - expounding on the thorny relationship between sexuality and power, submission and freedom, liberation and non-being.
preceded by
FIVE F*CKING FABLES
Directed by Signe Baumane,
2002, USA, 7 minutes.
The ones who f*ck live better.
The directors of both works, Pola Rapaport and Signe Baumane, will be in attendance for a Q&A following the screening.

***Wednesday, October 19th - 9 pm
US Premiere!
THE HAPPY HOOKER: XAVIERA HOLLANDER
Directed by Robert
Dunlap, 2005, USA, 90 minutes.
More than thirty years after her
autobiography "The Happy Hooker" hit the best-seller lists and rocked American society, Xaviera Hollander's notoriety as an international madam lives on. In this documentary she reveals some of her most renowned escapades, ruminates on her rise to fame and eventual deportation from the United States, and discusses how her infamous exploits both drew upon and affected relationships with her family - all for an insightful look at an important sexual revolutionary and a telling portrait of a very particular historical time.
Director Robert Dunlap will be in attendance for a discussion following the screening.
LOOKING AHEAD - THURSDAY AT CINEKINK
On Thursday, October 20th, first up at 7 PM is ORIGINAL PRIDE: THE SATYRS MOTORCYCLE CLUB, an anecdote-filled journey into the inner workings of "The Satyrs" and their influences on both gay and leather history. Also playing are the shorts BIGGER and, our favorite-titled-work-of-the-festival, PISSIES NOT SISSIES, whose respective directors, Alberto Ferreras and Charles Lum, will be present for a post-screening Q&A.
And at 9 PM, in a screening sponsored by The Eulenspiegel Society, LIBERTY IN RESTRAINT introduces the mentors, muses and masochists who have inspired the artistic endeavors of fetish-S/M photographer Noel Graydon.
