CineKink — the name says it all — has announced the opening night selections of its fifth annual film festival, CineKink NYC. The event, scheduled for February 26-March 2, 2008, is described as "a pansexual celebration that will also feature music, live performances and a fundraising silent auction."
The selections are:
- Richard Kimmel's Schwarzwald, which was screened at Outfest in Los Angeles last fall. The film, starring female-to-male transsexual sex star Buck Angel, "combines elements of Druidic ritual with the passionate, leather-clad goings-on of NYC's annual Black Party."
- Leah Meyerhoff's Team Queen, a music video "that features some of the best in New York burlesque in a gender-bending, fire-breathing, tassel-twirling, post-punk rock 'n roll extravaganza." (Meyerhoff, a former Student Academy Awards finalist — for the short Twitch — served as a jury member at the 2008 Slamdance Film Festival.)
- Photographer Steven Speliotis' film debut, A Dog's Tale, described as "a sensuous and layered reverie on control and submission, longing and desire."
CineKink NYC's program — approximately 70 films and videos — "cuts across orientations to celebrate and explore a wide diversity of sexuality. In addition to screenings, the event will also feature a short film competition, audience choice awards, presentations, parties and a closing afterglow celebration."
The full line-up for CineKink NYC, as well as additional details on the kick-off gala and advance tickets for the festival, will be available online beginning Monday, February 4.

I am not sure what to think about that cover. I mean… I guess I would watch it once, but I would hide the box from my friends. It's too kinky.
