CINEKINK IN SAN FRANCISCO!!
For our friends on "the other coast," please make plans to join us as CineKink descends upon San Francisco, coming up very soon - November 3-5, presented by Yerba Buena Center for the Arts.
**Thursday, November 3 - 7 pm
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.
**Thursday, November 3 - 9 pm

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.
