First up, come crawl across the red carpet as we present...
Wednesday, March 15 - 7:00 PM
CineKink Season Opener!
SECRETARY: 15TH ANNIVERSARY
"Do. It. Again." CineKink originally presented 'Secretary' as our Tribute selection during the very first CineKink NYC in 2003. Has it really been 15 years since its release? Indeed, it has… and high time to rewatch this BDSM classic in the company of like-minded kinksters! In case you've forgotten ... Lee Holloway has a few strikes against her when she applies for a secretarial position at the law office of E. Edward Grey. At first the work seems quite normal but soon, in between typing, filing and coffee making, Lee and Mr. Grey embark on a more personal relationship together, crossing the lines of conduct that would give any human resource director the vapors!
We'll have a some props handy, so we can recreate a few scenes on the red carpet after the show. And in deference to the festival director's well-documented suit fetish, feel free to dress as dapper as you please! (Gentlemen and ladies alike!)

And then...
Wednesday, March 15 – 9:30 PM
US Premiere!
HORSE-BEING
Karen, a 50-year-old former teacher and father of a daughter, is currently training with an American cowboy for her transformation into a horse. In this form of roleplay, known as pony play, Karen dresses up as a “horse-being,” and as she undergoes physical training for dressage and pulling a cart, the boundary between reality and fantasy begins to blur. A poetic reflection on humanity, gender, life, love and nature. (Directed by Jérôme Clément-Wilz, 2015, France, 63 minutes.)
preceded by
IN SEARCH OF CANDY
Investigative reporter Travis Dollymop rips the cover off the sex camp industry, sure that he's uncovered a multinational conspiracy that bilks horny middle-aged men out of their money!

Philip, with Admiral Frazier, Crucible Mike, Nicole, Enfield Mike, Blackthorne and Lord Byron Scattsworth III. World premiere.)
Filmmaker Bo Blaze will be on hand for a Q&A following the screening!
