TONIGHT AT CINEKINK NYC!
We're just getting started - still plenty of time to jump on board!
*** Thursday, October 20th - 7 pm
Directors Charles Lum and Alberto Ferreras will be available for a Q&A discussion following the screening.
ORIGINAL PRIDE: THE SATYRS MOTORCYCLE CLUB
Directed by Scott Bloom, 2005, USA, 56 minutes.
One of the first gay men's social organizations ever, The Satyrs Motorcycle Club was formed in 1954 and remains a vital group of Harley-riding, bearded and leather-clad men-loving men. This is first a journey back to that illustrious start, offering a look at the men who were there and framing their stories, memories and ongoing influences on the leather community. And then a trip of the present-day, a visit with The Satyrs at their annual outing in a remote Northern California location, where thousands of gay bikers gather and play in the woods.

World Premiere!
PISSIES NOT SISSIES (IML 2003 - PART ONE)
Directed by Charles Lum, 2005, USA, 14 minutes.
A first-hand account of the jovial goings-on in the men's room at a renowned international leather contest.
BIGGER
Directed by Alberto Ferreras, 2004, USA, 13 minutes.
Looks at the world of body modification and one man's obsession with a larger penis.
***Thursday, October 20th - 9 pm
This screening is sponsored by The Eulenspiegel Society (TES), one of the oldest and largest S/M organizations in the country. Representatives of the group will be around following the screening to answer any(!?!) questions you might have.
US Premiere!
LIBERTY IN RESTRAINT
Directed by Michael Ney, 2005, Australia, 90 minutes.
As an aspiring photographer, the clandestine world of BDSM, fetish fashion and alternative sex was a powerful attraction for Noel Graydon. This riveting documentary introduces the mentors, muses and masochists who have inspired his artistic endeavors over the years, giving a glimpse into a world of S/M play enthusiasts who approach 'absolution' and sexuality 'like an advanced driving course in sex' and where the initiated take carnal license to extreme limits. (A 35-minute work-in-progress version of LIBERTY IN RESTRAINT screened last year at CineKink and was named Best Short Documentary.)
Preceded by
BLUE BOX BLUES
Directed by Michael Brynntrup, 2004, Germany, 7 minutes.
How long does a twinkling of an eye last? What all happens in a moment? Slap in a snap - a document of directing and a video on the half-life of still photos.

LOOKING AHEAD - FRIDAY AT CINEKINK
The ride continues Friday, October 21 at 7 PM with MADE IN SECRET: THE STORY OF THE EAST VAN PORN COLLECTIVE, a deliciously perplexing labor of love about your typical local anarcho-feminist pansexual porn production collective.
Then, at 9 PM, in a screening sponsored by Lesbian Sex Mafia, it's WOMEN IN LOVE, a video autobiography that dares and bares all in its exploration of relationships both monogamous and non, along with two shorts that take a walk on the polyamorous side, POLLY WALLY and OPEN.
And, at 11 PM, the program "Nocturnal Envisions" inspires nighttime ramblings of the feverish and fantastic kind - including the inspired ropework of Steven Speliotis, the artful imaginings of Maria Beatty and a few alien dildos on the march.

CINEKINK AWARDS CELEBRATION
This year - no movies on Sunday, just the chance to sleep in so you can look your fabulous best for our grand finale, the CineKink Awards Celebration! Put on your shiny finery, head on out to the spanking new and beautiful Bacchus Studio (515 W. 29th St., NYC) and toast this year's fantastic crop of CineKink filmmakers and award winners. Scheduled for 8 PM, the festivities will feature encore screenings of jury-selected best shorts from the festival, along with presentations of the festival's Audience Choice Awards - and of the special CineKink Tribute, a yearly honor that recognizes extraordinary kink achievement in mainstream film and television. Come out to meet and maybe even, er, mingle with the stars!
