First up...with Lynx Dean of Random Order joining us for a pre-screening song or two!!
Wednesday, MARCH 2 – 7:00 PM
CineKink Season Opener!
S&M SALLY
In this raucous comedy, when a lesbian finds out her girlfriend has spent time exploring BDSM, her insecurities about falling behind in the bedroom push her to propose that they start going to underground clubs together. Identifying as the butch one in a traditional butch/femme couple, Jamie, aka the pseudonymous "Sally," assumes she will take the dominant role in their escapades, with Jill as her submissive, but Jill has ideas of her own. Meanwhile, friends David and Lola compete to see who's cool enough to go through with a polyamorous, bisexual threesome. (Directed by Michelle Ehlen, 2015, USA, 79 minutes. NYC premiere. Stars Michelle Ehlen, Jen McPherson, Shaela Cook, Scott Keiji Takeda and Adrian Gonzalez.)
preceded by
TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES OF INTIMACY
Stars CineKink alumnus Buck Angel and Marianna Marroquin as a trans-man and a trans-woman trying to salvage their romantic relationship via new sexual horizons. (Directed by Joel Moffett, 2015, USA, 19 minutes.)

US Premiere!
THE PLEASURE OF ROPE
Explores the Japanese art of rope bondage and the people who practice it, sometimes obsessively. Kinbaku, also called Shibari, has origins in the medieval world. Almost forgotten, it has since been rediscovered in modern times, growing from a niche practice on the BDSM scene into a popular passion for many men, women and couples in Japan and throughout the West. Documentary features performances and interviews with Esinem, Gestalta, Nawashi Murakawa, Midori, Kinoko Hajime, Kazami Ranki, Wykd Dave & Clover, Tuppy Owens, Xue, Boy Kitten, Vlada & Falco, and Akira Naka & Iroha Shizuki. (Directed by Bob Bentley, 2015, United Kingdom, 90 minutes.)
preceded by
FLUX
Explores how the intensity of a BDSM connection translates to movement and time.
(Directed by Four Chambers, 2015, United Kingdom, 8 minutes.)

KIM
A story about liberty, self doubt, BDSM, consent and friendship. And tape. During two summer months, Kim gets the chance of her life, to create her debut exhibition, a gigantic art installation made from 3000 meters of cellophane tape. While she’s struggling with her work, one relationship begins to unravel just as she begins to explore a non-normative sexuality with another, coming to terms with whether she’s dominant, submissive…or both. (Directed by Tobias Rydin, 2015, Sweden, 84 minutes. Stars Josefin von Zeipel, Daniel Larsson and Daniel Gill)
Plays with DYSPNEA (Viola V., 2015, Australia, 4 minutes. US premiere), an exploration of dyspnea (or “air hunger”), the subjective symptom of breathlessness.
