Dear reader:

Co-founder and director of CineKink Lisa Vandever is looking for a group of kinky film-lovers to help spread the word about the kinky film festival. I’ve helped judge the short films for the past 2 years and am looking forward to this year’s submissions. Like Rachel Kramer Bussel has said: “Cinekink is a really wonderful event, every year, and they really do have a great range from XXX hotness to thinkier but still hot pieces.” Cinekink is going on its 7th year – please help keep it going for many more!

===========

The seventh annual edition of CineKink NYC is scheduled for February 16-21, 2010.

Once again the kinky film festival will feature a specially-curated program of films and videos that celebrate the wide diversity of sexuality. Along with a wealth of screenings, plans for the event also include a short film competition, audience choice awards, presentations, gala kick-off party and sexy AfterGlow celebration, all to be followed with a national screening tour.

While we’re just finalizing the schedule, among this year’s stories are a couple’s first brush with the world of swinging, a judge forced to choose between his legal career and his wife’s hunger for S/M and a French sex farce with actual sex in it! Viewers will also get a look at the boylesque sensation Waxie Moon and take part in “Bring It!,” our annual show-down between some of adult entertainment’s hottest directors.

Attendance at the CineKink NYC event, which runs over six days, averages 3,200-3,400 overall.  Turn-out for tour appearances, which vary market-to-market in terms of venue size and number of screenings, ranges between 150-1,500 per city.

Additionally, mail updates currently go out direct to nearly 2,000 CineKink subscribers.  These updates are also posted to various lists and groups both local and national, targeted primarily to people interested in alternative sexuality, and forwarded regularly to others within the communities. Estimate total reach for this is around 20,000 people per update.

Mention of our sponsors also goes out to our list of approximately 1,200 press contacts which cover mainstream, adult and alternative media outlets. All sponsors are included in press releases we send in advance of CineKink NYC; press releases for tour appearances include mention of all sponsors at the Gold level or higher.

We would love to have you as one of our official sponsors! Included below is information on our sponsorship packages, each designed to give businesses and individuals affordable opportunities for exposure. In addition to the levels detailed below, we will happily tailor a package or benefit to meet your individual marketing needs. Alternative opportunities might include the sponsorship of a specific event or screening, or even a CineKink festival award presented in your company’s name. Information on additional options and advertising opportunities can be found on the CineKink sponsorship page or send me an email with any other questions!

Call for Entries – CineKink NYC/2010

by Viviane on 09/30/2024

in cinekink

CineKink NYC–”the kinky film festival”–is seeking films and videos, of any length and genre, that explore and celebrate the wide diversity of sexuality. Dedicated to the recognition and encouragement of sex-positive and kink-friendly depictions in film and television, we’re looking to blur some boundaries and will be considering offerings drawn from both Hollywood and beyond, with works ranging from documentary to drama, camp comedy to hot porn, mildly spicy to quite explicit–and everything in between.

Cutting across orientations, topics covered at CineKink have included–but are by no means limited to–BDSM, leather and fetish, swinging, non-monogamy and polyamory, roleplay and gender bending, sex work and sex geekery. Basically, as long as it involves consenting adults, just about anything celebrating sex as a right of self expression is fair game. (Far be it from us to define “kink” – if you think your work might make sense in this context, please send it along!)

Scheduled for its seventh annual appearance February 16-21, 2010, the specially-curated CineKink NYC will also feature a short film competition, audience choice awards, a special adult entertainment showcase, presentations, parties and a gala kick-off event, with a national screening tour to follow.

Discounted, early-bird entries have a post-marked deadline of October 23rd, while the standard deadline is November 15th and the final deadline is December 4th.

cinekink1 Cinekink 2009: Weekend screenings

Filmmakers Bret Wood (The Other Half, 2008) and Robert Pratten (MindFLESH, 2008) with Cinekink's Lisa Vandever.

1) TONIGHT…PERSONAL GROWTH, WANTON FEMALE DESIRE AND GRAPHIC SEXUAL HORROR!

***Friday, February 27th – 6:45 pm

THE WORKSHOP
(Jamie Morgan, 2007, USA, 80 minutes)
In a wooded glade somewhere near San Francisco, a group of people, all in search of a higher personal truth, come together to take part in a 10-day workshop led by spiritual leader Paul Lowe. On day one they are told to introduce themselves and meet everyone else completely naked-and that’s just the start–as “The Workshop” challenges the boundaries of normal convention and takes on societal constructs of sexuality and monogamy.

Enlightenment achieved? Maybe. But searing emotional honesty, full nudity and the exorcising of inner demons are all the hallmarks of this controversial personal growth technology, as well as this provocative documentary.

World Premiere
ARTIST PISSING (IN 3D)
(Benjamin Wilson, 2008, USA, 1 minute)

A review

***Friday, February 27 – 9:00 PM

“Wanton Female Desire” (Shorts Program)
What is it that a woman wants?  Most of the answers are infinitely varied, but the shorts in this celebration of female pleasure will help guide you in one generally appropriate direction.

Program includes:

TEAT BEAT OF SEX: 8, 9, 10 & 11
(Signe Baumane, 2007, USA, 7 minutes)
A young girl experiences her first kiss and then a first make-out session. Some wild thoughts run through her head. She isn’t sure what she is supposed to feel but is intrigued to continue exploring.  It takes years to get to sex.

US Premiere!
MY FAVORITE TIME OF THE DAY
(Mike Hallett, 2008, United Kingdom, 12 minutes)
A sly comedy about the unholy trinity of religion, masturbation and teddy bears.

US Premiere!
BARCELONA SEX PROJECT: IRINA
(Erika Lust, 2008, Spain, 19 minutes)
In this chapter from an erotic documentary that delves deep into the personal self-pleasurings of six individuals, Irina, a web-designer and gaming geek, talks a bit about her life and shows a lot about what makes her happy.

CASE 1112: FORTY IS THE NEW 14
(Vena Virago, 2008, USA, 5 minutes)
Inspired by Richard Von Krafft-Ebing’s “Psychopathia Sexualis,” this is a contemporary and autobiographical account of a compulsive and sentimental masturbator.

US Premiere!
STRAP ON MOTEL
(Maria Beatty, 2008, France, excerpt/13 minutes)
Flashbacks of a feverish night at a clandestine motel continue to haunt a beautiful young dancer.

FOOTSIE
(Eva Midgley, 2008, UK, 3 minutes)
A pleasurable encounter between female foot and male member.
(As seen at Tuesday’s kick-off gala…another chance to catch it!)

US Premiere!
MATINEE
(Jennifer Lyon Bell, 2009, Netherlands, 34 minutes)
Actors Mariah and Daniel play lovers every night, but their onstage romance lacks spark. One slow afternoon, they discover that today’s matinée performance will make or break both of their careers. Daniel wants to make big changes, and Mariah starts to wonder: are Daniel’s suggestions reasonable? Rushed to the stage, in front of a live audience, they must figure it out together.

Directors Eva Midgley (FOOTSIE) and Jennifer Lyon Bell (MATINEE) will take part in a Q&A after the screening.

***Friday, February 27 – 11:10 PM

Tickets are going fast, advance purchase is highly recommended!

East Coast Premiere!
GRAPHIC SEXUAL HORROR
(Barbara Bell and Anna Lorentzon, 2008, USA, 86 minutes)
Takes a long peek behind the imposing facade of Insex.com, the most notorious of bondage websites, to explore the dark mind of its artistic creator, known as “PD,” and ask hard questions about consent and personal responsibility. Incorporating original Insex.com footage, behind-the-scenes interactions and interviews with its creator, members, models and staff, the documentary reveals deep fascinations with bondage and sadomasochism that run parallel and, in fact, can become irreversibly entwined with the lure of money.

preceded by…

East Coast Premiere!
SPOILED
(Usama Alshaibi, 2008, USA, 6 minutes)
What’s that you’ve got in your handbag, little girl?

Directors Barbara Bell and Anna Lorentzon will both be on hand for a post-screening discussion, along with several of the subjects profiled in their compelling documentary.

4:30 pm
At 4:30 PM, the comedic MARTA’S SEX TAPE, about a painter who decides to make “special films” to pay off a loan, plays with two other colorful shorts on some ins-and-outs of work in the adult sphere – ORANGE PEEL and DACIA’S LOVE MACHINE.

6:45 pm

(Plays with JE DIS NON, ALI and AT THE PORN SHOP.)
