CineKink -- “the kinky film festival” -- brings its annual tour to Chicago on Friday-Saturday, November 19-20, 2010. With screenings at the Leather Archives and Museum, CINEKINK: CHICAGO will offer a specially-curated program of films and videos that celebrate and explore a wide and exciting world of sexual diversity, with works ranging from documentary to drama, comedy to experimental, mildly spicy to quite explicit - and everything in between.
FRIDAY The festival kicks off on Friday, November 19th at 8 pm with the CineKink audience choice award-winner, S&M JUDGE, a compelling drama in which a respected judge finds his job, reputation and family life in jeopardy after he and his wife begin to explore sadomasochism, with an opening reception for CineKink: Chicago to immediately follow the screening.
SATURDAY On Saturday at 2 pm, followed by a panel discussion on women, representations of sexuality and sex-positive filmmaking, MY SEXUALITY: A SENSORY EXPERIENCE shines light on five ordinary women from different backgrounds, sexual preferences and past experiences as they experiment with activities intended to boost both sense of self and sexuality.
At 4:30 pm, the “boylesque” sensation WAXIE MOON takes the world of neo-burlesque by storm in a thought-provoking and hilarious documentary look at one artist's unlikely journey.
At 6:30 PM, the film shorts program YES, MISTRESS--including works by several Chicago filmmakers--asks (and sometimes answers!) the question: “How may I be of service?”
And at 8:30 PM, BEST OF CINEKINK features select, award-winning shorts deemed the year’s best during the festival's latest annual run at CineKink NYC.
