CineKink NYC 2008
January 31st, 2008 by Andre Soares
CineKink — the name says it all — has announced the opening night selections for 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 porn 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 4th. For more information, visit CineKink.
