KICK-OFF! - Tuesday, 3/1 @ 8:00 pm
Put on your shiny finery and come help us kick off the eighth annual CineKink NYC in proper style! An evening to embrace fantasy and a pansexual celebration of epic proportions, in addition to sexy performances, our opening night gala will feature a cadre of spectacular cinematic morsels-THE LADY IS DEAD, MY EROTIC VIDEO ART, SHAKE IT and the latest from Erika Lust, LOVE HOTEL. And with all proceeds going to support the continuation of CineKink's sex-positive and kink-friendly program mission, it's mixing and mashing for a good cause!

CINEKINK NYC SCREENINGS
The festivities then move to Anthology Film Archives (32 Second Avenue, NYC), Wednesday, March 2 through Saturday, March 5, with several different film and video programs scheduled for each day.
*WEDNESDAY
Among the headliners, first up on Wednesday, March 2 at 7:00 PM, is the festival's CineKink Season Opener screening of KINK CRUSADERS, a documentary look at the International Mr. Leather contest, an annual event that draws thousands of men from around the world to compete for a title and a sash.
Then, at 9:15 PM, SEXUAL RADAR, posits the comedic possibilities of a misanthropic detective suddenly able to "hear" the pansexual fantasies and musings of those around him.
*THURSDAY
On Thursday, March 3 at 7:00 PM, it's CRAVE, a colorful collection of shorts that look longingly at a wide range of desires and fixations.
And at 9:00 PM, AN OPEN INVITATION: A REAL SWINGERS PARTY IN SAN FRANCISCO follows a happily-married couple as their rather staid relationship is elevated and erotically-charged by a chance introduction to the swing lifestyle-all culminating in their appearance at a "real life" sex party extravaganza.
*FRIDAY
On Friday, March 4 at 6:45 PM, the shorts program ADVENTURES IN THE SKIN TRADE looks at various nuances when sex, work and money intersect.
At 9:00 PM, LUST, LOVE, LIFE is a sexy, date-night collection of shorts celebrating some all-crucial four-letter words.
And in CAGED, at 10:40 PM, a woman admits to her true sexual desires after years of marriage--and finds herself forced to fight for both her freedom and her life.
*SATURDAY
Kicking off Saturday, March 5 at 1:00 PM, an autobiographical documentary, RUN, RUN, IT'S HIM, explores in intimate detail how one man's relationship to porn has warped his understanding of women and dominated his personal interactions.
At 3:15 PM a panel discussion, PORN AGAIN, moves beyond polarizing debate to consider porn-making that is grounded in both pleasure and ethics.
At 5:30 PM a special industry 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 creative endeavors.
At 8:00 PM, PRIDE & PREDILECTIONS is a fun and festive assortment of shorts about sexual orientation, identity and one's place in the world.
And, closing out the festival's regular screening schedule at 10:10 PM, INDIETRO unravels the late-night visit of Honey and Nick--two suburban "vanillas"--to the mysterious and sprawling home of George and Martha, the king and queen of kink, and their "maid," Camille.
CINEKINK AWARDS CELEBRATION - Sunday, 3/6 @ 6:00 pm
