New York Featured Event


Mango Kiss

Billing itself as "the really alternative film festival," CineKink NYC makes its triumphant return on Thursday, October 21, featuring a specially selected program of films and videos that explore and celebrate a wide diversity of alternative sexuality.


The Asylum
Presented by CineKink, an organization dedicated to the recognition and encouragement of kink-positive depictions in film and television, the films' topics will touch upon BDSM, leather, polyamory and non-monogamy, fetish and role-play, swinging and gender bending. The film fest's offerings are drawn from around the world and range from documentary to drama, camp comedy to porn. In addition to screenings, plans for the second annual festival also include a short film competition, presentations, awards and a gala kick-off fundraiser.

"We had an amazing selection of films come in this year," says Lisa Vandever, CineKink's co-founder and director. "It seems that kink-positive filmmakers are really starting to come into their own. There's a real boldness and clarity to these works, a new confidence in representing the great diversity that can be found in the world of kink."

On Thursday, October 21, you're invited to celebrate the film fest's second year with screenings, schmoozing and a special auction to benefit both CineKink and the new documentary Barbara v. Ashcroft: A Public Voyeur. Lolita Wolf will lead the activities, ably assisted by auction bottom, Boymeat.

The evening's screenings include sneak peeks of The English Mistress, a view from a slave's perspective; the revolutionary transsexual Buck Angel directs The Adventures of Buck Naked; Working Girlz, Mistress Morgana's virgin foray into dyke porn previously reviewed here on Eros Zine; and Slave & Master Productions' historic Needles & 6157S, starring the infamous Leather Rick. These festivities begin at 8pm and take place at Remote Lounge, 327 Bowery. A $5 donation at the door is suggested.


Liberty In Restraint
Opening night is Friday, October 22. Screenings start at 7pm with the world premiere of Hershey Kiss, a two-minute short, followed by Mango Kiss, directed by Sascha Rice. Also featured: the 10-minute short The English Mistress; Headspace, Mia Olin's exploration of the Los Angeles BDSM scene; and Slaves, a graphic and disturbing documentary-style look at controversial artist R.C. Horsch as he lays out in rich detail the intensely controlling sadomasochistic relationships he maintains with seven different women.

Saturday screenings get started a 1pm with Alternatoons!, six shorts featuring mad scientists and superheroes, private dicks and per pop stars, The Night Life, Succubus, Superfag, Christ! (A Tale of The Passion of the Christs), Dream Human, and Spanky! Spanky!. These get started at 1pm.

The afternoon's offerings begin at 3pm. Haircut, Ent-Homo-Philia, I Sit On Acid and Mistress Bar-Bee's Playhouse all precede the film about every waitperson's fantasy Dominatrix Waitrix. Then at 5pm catch the world premiere of Alice in Footland, a fresh interpretation of the classic tale directed by Eric Marciano and starring Sativa Verte, Brooke Bound and Darenzia.

At 7pm, catch Born in a Barn, Elizabeth Elson's humorous look into the extraordinary erotic lives of four seemingly ordinary people, preceded by Spanky! Spanky! Happy Tears: A Vintage Vignette and Dream Human.

At 9pm, CineKink's centerpiece screening and world premier of Crossing, directed by Roger Evan Larry. This gender and genre bender film stars Sebastian Spence, Crystal Buble, Bif Naked, Bernie Coulson and Alan C. Peterson. And if you can still keep your eyes open after all these hours in the dark, at 11:30pm Proinhibition and The Asylum will be screened. That makes for almost a full 12 hours of films!

Sunday's screenings kick off at 1pm with the New York premiere of My Leather Jacket, directed by Alexander Henryk Wisniowski, and an encore screening of Mango Kiss at 3pm.


Dominatrix Waitrix
Sunday afternoon at 5pm, Rachel Kramer Bussel, writer, blogger, editor of Up All Night: Adventures in Lesbian Sex, and Eros Zine contributor, moderates Porn Again, a directors' panel, including clips and discussion, that will consider the growing body of explicitly sexual work that has emerged in the wake of traditional pornography, defying and appropriating its language and conventions. The panel features directors Morgana Maye (Working Girlz), Carolyn Caizzi (Unforgettable Favorites), Buck Angel (The Adventures of Buck Naked) and Ryan J. Wolowski (I Sit On Acid).

Sunday evening's offerings are entitled Strange Bedfellows and include Liberty in Restraint, Blood for Peace, Carve, Bush Beatin', The California State Recall - Folsom Street Style and Explosive. And finally, at 9pm on Sunday, following encore screenings of selected best shorts from the festival, the presentations of the annual CineKink Awards. Producers will announce the festival's Audience Choice Awards, along with the special CineKink Tribute, recognizing extraordinary kink achievement in mainstream film and television.

CineKink NYC/2004 is enjoying the support of many local and national entities, among them New York's homo nightlife guide, HX Magazine; producers of The Black & Blue Ball, Arena Studios; fetish emporiums DeMask and Purple Passion; Gwen Media; JT's Stockroom; National Coalition for Sexual Freedom; and sexy streaming online content providers Redlight TV.
