CineKink NYC Announces Lineup for 11th Annual Festival

NEW YORK, NY—CineKink NYC returns for its eleventh annual appearance Tuesday, February 25, bringing with it a specially curated program of films and videos that celebrate and explore a wide diversity of sexuality. In addition to screenings, the festival will also include a short film competition, presentations, audience choice awards, a fundraising kick-off gala and a concluding AfterGlow party. Held February 25 - March 2, 2014, the eleventh annual CineKinkNYC will once again feature films and videos that celebrate and explore a wide diversity of sexuality. Presented by CineKink, an organization dedicated to the recognition and encouragement of sex-positive and kink-friendly depictions in film and television, works presented at CineKink NYC will range from documentary to drama, comedy to experimental, mildly spicy to quite explicit - and everything in between. "I'm very excited about the range and quality of the works we're able to present this year," saidLisa Vandever, co-founder and director of CineKink. "We've got just about every possible proclivity and predilection represented and, even more so than previous years, so many offerings that ride an intriguing line precisely between what might be 'indie' and what might be 'adult.'" The screenings will be held atAnthology Film Archives(32 Second Avenue, NYC), Wednesday, February 26 through Saturday, March 1, with several different film and video programs scheduled for each day. A kick-off celebration will start the weeklong festival, and an awards show and AfterGlow / Oscars play party, complete the festivities, will conclude CineKink 2014. The festival lineup is as follows: Tuesday, Feb. 25 The CineKink NYC festivities begin at 8 PM, with a fundraising kick-off extravaganza to be held atTaj Lounge(48 W. 21st Street, NYC), a pansexual celebration that, in addition to music and sexy performances, offers several cinematic gems up on the screen. Wednesday, Feb. 26 Among the headliners, first up at 7:00pm, the festival's CineKink season opener screening of The Sarnos: A Life in Dirty Movies, profiles legendary sexploitation director Joe Sarno, “the Ingmar Bergman of 42nd Street,” and his wife and collaborator Peggy. Then, at 9:00 PM, a classic offering from the filmmaker's NYC-centered prime, The Bed and How to Make It!, details the sordid goings-on that transpire when a young woman goes to work as a chambermaid in her aunt¹s motel. Thursday, Feb. 27 At 7:00pm, in NSWF, two strangers enter a sexy liaison that is heavy on role play and cloaked in the semi-anonymity of an online, casual relationship. Then, at 9:00 PM, a collection of kinky short works, AT YOUR SERVICE, explores the various dimensions and dynamics of sexual service and submission. Friday, Feb. 28 At 6:30pm, Mr. Angel chronicles the extraordinary life of transgender advocate, educator, porn industry pioneer Buck Angel. At 8:30 PM, in Blurred Lines, a hot set of hot shorts rides the line and throws a bit of everything into the mix. And at 10:30 PM, in Happchenweise, a video experiment brings together six protagonists ­ mostly unknown to each other ­ to talk about their sexuality and, as they become more comfortable, to act upon it. Saturday, March 1 Kicking off at 1:00pm, driven by the motto, "America needs better porn!" The Jim Porno Show presents entertaining insights into the state of modern pornography and an overview look at what's hot (and not) now. At 2:30pm, the discussion continues, as the panel Sex It Up! looks at an old aesthetic distinction - the difference between art and porn -  and why it's become increasingly irrelevant. At 4:00pm, 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 7:00pm, Broken Side of Now combines photo shoots using actual photographers, and a narrative based on some of their real-life adventures, to tell the tale of one model, Dolce, who's looking for a better life on the other side of the camera. And at 9:45pm, Folsom Forever is the story of how a small San Francisco street fair grew into the biggest outdoor kink and fetish event in the world, and managed to do a lot of good along the way. Sunday, March 2 CineKink NYC concludes the evening at 7:00pm with an awards celebration, including presentation of the annual festival awards, to be followed at 8:30pm with the CineKink Afterglow (and Oscars!) Party, one last chance to mingle with like-minded festivalgoers and enjoy a few additional screenings, and continuous coverage of the Academy Awards, this time in a relaxed play-party setting. The location for both events will be announced at a later date. For tickets to CineKink NYC, visit its Eventbrite page.
