CineKink San Francisco will take place from November 19-21 at the
  Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. 
Screening films include James Westby&#8217;s The Auteur, a farcical comedy about has-been Italian erotica filmmaker Arturo Domingo&#8217;s trip  to Portland to receive a Lifetime Achievement Award;  A. Benjamin&#8217;s Kinky (above, lower photo), a 2008 documentary that explores sexuality issues among black Americans; and a couple of dozen shorts, including &#34;Best of CineKink&#34; selections Belle de Nature (above, top photo) by Maria Beatty, Kink, Inc. by Casey Clark, and At the Porno Shop by Michael Rehfield.
Of those, I&#8217;ve only seen The Auteur. Most of the humor eluded me, while the film  promises more risque situations than it delivers. That said, [...]]]></description>

Friday, March 27, highlights
Schedule and synopses from the LLGFF website
&#160;

The Naked Civil Servant



Directed by:
Jack Gold


Cast:
John Hurt, Liz Gebhardt, Patricia Hodge


Country:
UK


Year:
1975


Running time:
85min



&#160;
This dramatization of Quentin [Crisp]&#8217;s first volume of autobiography won  BAFTAs for its director Jack Gold and its star. John Hurt gives a  dazzling performance as the young Quentin, a flame-haired flamboyant  homosexual when such things were not permitted. It contains much of the  wit and wisdom of Quentin and celebrates a life lived in a refusal to  conform. The highlight is Quentin&#8217;s impassioned speech from the dock  when charged with soliciting for an immoral purpose. 
Plus an interview with Bernard Braden filmed in 1967. Previously  [...]]]></description>

Tina O&#8217;Grady, a member of the Ohio Department of Public Safety&#8217;s  &#34;cultural competency initiative&#34; was scolded by her boss after co-workers complained about an e-mail she  had forwarded  promoting the gay-themed Out@Wex Film Festival in Columbus.
As per the Columbus Dispatch, O&#8217;Grady&#8217;s co-workers seemed to be particularly offended by the festival&#8217;s  description of Bruce LaBruce&#8217;s Otto; or, Up With Dead People in its release. Otto is summed up as an &#34;art-porn provocation [that] depicts an explosion of cannibalistic, sodomy-seeking zombies in Berlin.&#34;
What exactly in that sentence &#8212; art, porn, provocation, explosion, cannibalism, sodomy, zombies,  Berlin &#8212; offended some of the Ohio Department of Public Safety workers remains unclear.

Director Salvatore Samperi, the maestro dell&#8217;erotismo all&#8217;italiana best known for the 1973 social/sex comedy Malizia / Malicious (above), died on March 4 in Bracciano, near Rome. He was 64.
Invariably pushing the boundaries of the socially &#8212; and erotically &#8212; acceptable by the hypocritical, image-conscious bourgeoisie in Italy and elsewhere, the Padua-born (July 26, 1944), former left-wing militant  tackled subjects that  American movies, with rare exceptions, wouldn&#8217;t dare get close to then or now. 

For instance, Grazie, Zia / Thank You, Aunt (above, 1968), his feature-film debut (inspired by mentor Marco Bellocchio&#8217;s I Pugni in tasca / Fist in His Pocket), tells the story of a wealthy young man (Fist in His Pocket leading man Lou Castel)  who [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve rented pornos at several videostores, but never (intentionally*) at Cinefile &#8212; where I usually get stuff I can&#8217;t find anywhere else &#8212; so I can&#8217;t tell if their clerks have the habit of advising  customers on the quality (or lack thereof) of their sex-film offerings. That&#8217;s the starting point of writer-director-co-producer Marianna Palka&#8217;s romantic comedy Good Dick, in which Palka stars as a reclusive woman with a porn fixation whose local  videostore clerk (Jason Ritter) falls for her. The questions are: is he as big as those guys in the sex industry? And if so, is that enough?
In Salon, Andrew O&#8217;Hehir calls Good Dick a &#34;dark, sweet and sophisticated confection that might find a surprisingly large audience,&#34; [...]]]></description>

In Kevin Smith&#8217;s Zack and Miri Make a Porno, a couple of friends, Zack (Seth Rogen) and Miri (Elizabeth Banks), try to earn some much needed dinero by making an adult movie together. (The word &#34;adult&#34; here doesn&#8217;t refer to a movie with Oscar aspirations.) When the going gets hot, Zack and Miri come to realize that they actually have feelings for one another. (The word &#34;feelings&#34; here doesn&#8217;t refer to either fraternal love or unbridled lust.) 
Also in the Zack and Miri Make a Porno cast: Jason Mewes, Craig Robinson, Traci Lords, and Justin Long.

&#160;

&#160;
Writer-director Mitchell Lichtenstein&#8217;s Teeth is a horror movie with comedic elements that deals with mutation, virginity, and the the myth of vagina dentata.
Dawn O&#8217;Keefe (Jess Weixler) is a teenage girl who was born with teeth in her vagina. Dawn also happens to be a celibacy-promoting high-school student whose no-sex lifestyle is going well until she crosses eyes with Tobey (Hale Appleman) at a pro-virginity seminar. They are eventually introduced by a mutual friend and start seeing each other. Nature and hormones begin to take effect, something they both initially resist. But when one of them decides to acquiesce to [...]]]></description>

&#34;The FBI does not have a pornographic home movie of actress Marilyn Monroe in its files and never did, FBI officials tell NBC News. Document analysts at the FBI have completed a manual search of FBI records and found no evidence of the film.

 By Dan Schneider of Cosmoetica:
Why is it that bad artists always try to justify their garbage by claiming to be experimental, political, or any other label that does not pertain to the quality of the artwork itself? Well, it&#8217;s simple &#8212; they cannot justify it in any other way. Naturally, when the film or novel or painting has been banned in many places, it [...]]]></description>

Via the 2008 Melbourne Queer Film Festival website:
&#34;The films they didn&#8217;t want you to see!
&#34;The Melbourne Queer Film Festival special presentation of The Erotic Films of Peter de Rome [1973] has been denied exemption from classification by the Office of Film &#38; Literature Classification and is unable to be screened at this year&#8217;s Festival. Instead the session will be replaced with the Australian premiere screening of Whirlwind, directed by Richard Le May.&#34;

		<description><![CDATA[
The new documentary Thou Shalt Not: Sex, Sin and Censorship in Pre-Code Hollywood and five Pre-Code films will be shown on Turner Classic Movies on Monday, March 3 (more details below). 
The five racy Pre-Coders are: The Divorcee (1930), A Free Soul (1931), Night Nurse (right, 1931), Three on a Match (1932), and Female (1933). Those are films made before religious zealots, abetted by frightened studio heads (it was the Depression, after all), put Hollywood movies in a chastity straitjacket that would last about three decades. (See also Pre-Code Paramount and Pre-Code Fox.)
The following day, Warner Video will release the three-disc set TCM Archives: Forbidden Hollywood Volume 2, featuring the five films and the documentary (more details below).

CineKink NYC 2008 will take place from February 26&#8211;March 2. The scheduled shorts and features sound kinky enough, but I can only vouch for two that I&#8217;ve seen: John Cameron Mitchell&#8217;s Shortbus and Anna Biller&#8217;s Viva.
The former, a sexual dramatic-comedy about various New York City couples of myriad sexual orientations and dysfunctions, was screened at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival. The latter, an amoral morality tale about a lonely housewife who discovers sexual and emotional freedom (and the costs of that freedom), was screened at the AFI FEST 2007.
Shortbus, though well worth a look, was a disappointment. The sex scenes, however explicit, seem phony. Alas, so does much of the drama. On the other hand, several comic moments are [...]]]></description>

Ney&#8217;s Australian-made film is described as a &#34;riveting documentary [that] introduces the mentors, muses and masochists who inspired Noel&#8217;s artistic endeavors over the years, giving a glimpse into a world of S/M enthusiasts who approach their play &#8216;like an advanced driving course in sex,&#8217; one where the initiated take carnal license to extreme limits.&#34;
Graydon died of a heart attack this past July, after suffering an asthma attack while riding his push bike.

		<description><![CDATA[
Based on Rupert Thomson&#8217;s novel, The Book of Revelation opened this week in Australia. This psychological thriller directed by Ana Kokkinos, and co-written by Kokkinos and Andrew Bovell (Strictly Ballroom), has engendered some controversy because it depicts the horrors faced by a man (Tom Long) who&#8217;s turned into a sex slave for three cloaked and masked women. If that wasn&#8217;t all, after the ordeal is over no one seems to care about his suffering. Heck, isn&#8217;t that sort of rape the sexual fantasy of millions of men everywhere? Well, quite probably yes, but The Book of Revelation draws parallels between female and male rape &#8212; why one is considered appalling while the other is the subject of bad jokes.

		<description><![CDATA[British nationals can now witness raw and real, rather than simulated, sex on their country&#8217;s screens. Award-winning director Michael Winterbottom&#8217;s sexually explicit 9 songs has just been approved by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC). In the United Kingdom, a country where the BBFC still sees fit to cut movies so as to protect their compatriots from the horrors of explicit sex, that decision comes as a somewhat startling surprise. Although the BBFC has relaxed its anti-sex policies in recent years, it still demands that films be cut because of sexual content. The first English-language film with explicit sex scenes to be approved by the BBFC was Patrice Chéreau&#8217;s Intimacy (2001), which is based on stories by the acclaimed [...]]]></description>

Alfred Kinsey (1894-1956) and his wife Clara  had four children. Only three are shown in Bill Condon&#8217;s biopic Kinsey. Their firstborn, Don, died from diabetes shortly before his fifth birthday. Clara Kinsey died in 1982 at the age of 83.
In the film, Clyde Martin (Peter Sarsgaard) is seen seducing Alfred Kinsey. According to Kinsey&#8217;s biographers, Kinsey pursued Clyde, who became the  researcher&#8217;s somewhat reluctant sex partner.
Kinsey never saw his father after his parents divorced. In the film, Kinsey is shown at his father&#8217;s home after his mother dies.
Indiana University came up with the money necessary to fund Kinsey&#8217;s research after the Rockefeller Foundation withdrew its support due to pressure from right-wing and religious leaders. In the film, the [...]]]></description>
