1) SO MUCH KINK PROGRAMMING, SO LITTLE TIME!!!
We've got so much great programming jammed into CineKink NYC this year, we thought a headliner overview of the schedule might give you a firmer grasp on how you're going to be spending February 26th to March 2nd!
KICK-OFF!
The kink-filled festivities begin Tuesday, February 26th, at 8 PM, with a fundraising kick-off gala and opening night screening to be held at Taj Lounge (48 W. 21st Street, NYC), a pansexual celebration that, in addition to music, performances and a silent auction, features a trio of spectacular works by New York-based directors - SCHWARZWALD, TEAM QUEEN and A DOG'S TALE.
SPECIAL LOCATION:
Taj Lounge
48 W. 21st Street
SPECIAL ADMISSION:
$20/$15 advance; students/seniors $12, advance only.
CINEKINK NYC SCREENINGS
The festival then moves to Anthology Film Archives (32 Second Avenue, NYC), Wednesday, February 27 through Saturday, March 1, with several different film and video programs scheduled for each day. Regular screenings conclude on Sunday, March 2, with the addition of a jump to Pioneer Theater (155 E. Third Street, NYC) for a final round of CineKink NYC matinees.
WEDNESDAY
Among the headliners, first up, on Wednesday, February 27 at 7 PM, is the festival's CineKink Tribute screening of SHORTBUS, honoring the ground-breaking film for its "extraordinary depiction of kink in mainstream film and television." Then, at 9:30 PM, a program titled "New York Stories," surveys adult entertainment offerings from New York-based directors Tony DiMarco, Venus Hottentot, Michael Lucas, Radley Metzger, Porno Jim, Audacia Ray and Candida Royalle.
THURSDAY
On Thursday, February 28 at 7 PM is TRIPLE X SELECTS: THE BEST OF LEZSPLOITATION, an international feast of lesbian-exploitation highlights from the 1960s and '70s, presented in all of their notoriously twisted glory, followed at 9 PM by VIVA, the sordid tale of a bored housewife who gets swept up in the sexual revolution, a highly stylized film that draws on classic exploitation cinema for its look, characters and story-line.
FRIDAY
On Friday, February 29 at 7 PM, it's CALL ME TROY, an inspirational and moving tribute to gay activist and spiritual leader, Reverend Troy Perry. At 9 PM, SUSAN FOR NOW is a first-person account of a woman reclaiming her sexual freedom after a ten-year period of self-imposed celibacy. And at 11 PM, it's SEX MANNEQUIN and SUPERFREAK, a shape-shifting, body-swapping double-header of girl-girl adventures.
SATURDAY
Kicking off Saturday, March 1 at 1 PM, "Lust, Animation!" is a colorful collection of naughty bits - some animated, all with lust burning hot in their hearts. At 3 PM, "Chick Flicks" presents works by women directors that incorporate explicit sex into their stories of hook-ups and romance. At 5 PM, during "Women Behind the Lens," a panel of female directors will discuss their roles within the adult entertainment industry and the individual approach each takes in depicting sexuality on screen. At 7 PM, it's "Mix, Match & Mingle," a round-up of shorts that look at the delights - and some dilemmas - of moving beyond monogamy, followed by "Give & Take" at 9 PM, a kinky collection of works that probe, prod and play with the dynamics of sexual power and release, control and submission. And, rounding out the day's screening schedule at 11 PM, THE THREE TRIALS is a dark, fairy-tale fantasy set against a backdrop of sexual fetishes.
SUNDAY
Festival screenings move to Pioneer Theater on Sunday, March 2 at 1 PM with the New York premiere of ANNIE SPRINKLE'S HERSTORY OF PORN, featuring the best (and worst) clips from dozens of the 150+ films that Annie Sprinkle made from 1973 onwards. At 3 PM, "Sunday How-To Sex-O-Rama" is a selection of excerpts taken from top-notch educational and how-to offerings. Concluding the festival's regular screenings at 5 PM, the US premiere of SILKEN SLEEVES sensuously presents four seasons of domination and submission as rendered by bondage expert and artisan, Midori.
CINEKINK AWARD CELEBRATION - Sunday @ 6:30 pm
Come out and drink a toast to this year's fantastic crop of CineKink filmmakers! Featuring encore screenings of jury-selected best shorts from the festival, along with presentations of the annual CineKink Awards. (FREE admission; location tba)
