2) THE WEEK AHEAD AT CINEKINK...
Once we've been properly kicked off tonight, the festivities then move to Anthology Film Archives (32 Second Avenue, NYC), Wednesday, February 8through Saturday, February 11, with several different film and video programs scheduled for each day.
*WEDNESDAY
Among the headliners, first up on Wednesday, February 8 at 7:00 PM, the festival's CineKink Season Opener screening is Erika Lust's CABARET DESIRE which, inspired by New York’s real-life Poetry Brothel, uses "poetry courtesans" to weave together several erotic vignettes.
And at 9:00 PM, AFTER FALL, WINTER is a sexy, funny and darkly poignant story about two lovers who desperately crave intimacy, yet fiercely resist revealing their true sexual selves ... even to each other.
*THURSDAY
On Thursday, February 9 at 7:00 PM, it's (A)SEXUAL, a documentary look at what it’s like to be without sexual desire in a society that is otherwise obsessed.
And at 9:10 PM, KINK & KINSHIP is a program of short works that celebrate the special sense of community our shared kinks tend to engender.
*FRIDAY
On Friday, February 10 at 6:30 PM, the lives of several people are turned upside down when they meet sexy Cecile, a character who symbolizes DESIRE.
At 8:45 PM, the shorts program COUPLINGS is a hot mess of twosomes, threesomes and more-somes!
And in SEXUALLY FRANK, at 10:40 PM, a group of long-time friends finds that sex is no less befuddling now than it was during puberty.
*SATURDAY
Kicking off Saturday, February 11 at 12:30 PM - and our matinee porn trilogy aka "Pornopalooza!!" - many hijinks ensue in SWEET PRUDENCE & THE EROTIC ADVENTURE OF BIGFOOT, when the mythical beast is spotted at a remote nudist resort.
At 2:45 PM, a special industry showcase, BRING IT!, features a dazzling array of talent from today's adult cinema, all stepping up with a hot sampling of their recent creative endeavors.
At 5:00 PM, STAGE BROTHER follows the cross-county quest of a young, New Jersey woman who dreams of making it in the world of adult entertainment.
At 7:15 PM, in SIRWIÑAKUY, two Bolivian strangers participate in their own kinky version of a sirwiñakuy, an indigenous tradition where a man brings home a trial “wife.”
And, closing out the festival's regular screening schedule at 9:45 PM, the romantic drama “3” tells the story of Hanna and Simon who, on the brink of their 20th anniversary, separately become enamored with the same younger man.
