Are you interested in exploring a wide variety of sexuality through film? This weekend, CineKink will showcase sex-positive and kink-friendly films in a two night event. From documentary to drama, camp comedy to hot porn, the films recognize and encourage the positive depiction of sexuality and kink. GetLusty's Milan Weasley explores this exciting film festival in Chicago this weekend!
* * *CineKink, founded in 2003, celebrates the exploration of sexuality and kink in film and television. CineKink holds an annual film festival in New York City, celebrating sex positivity and kink in popular culture.
'The Kinky Film Festival' includes a short film competition, audience choice awards, presentations, parties and a gala kick-off fundraiser. This year they will hold the festival in the East Village, throughout Februrary, 2013. The main theatre of events will be the Anthology Film Archives at 32 Second Avenue. Afterward, they hit the road and tour around the country, and soon it will make its way to Chicago!
Friday, November 16th, will be the first day. At Leather Archives & Museum, 6418 North Greenview, CineKink will screen the Best of CineKink 2012. With films named Petal to Pleasure, Smut Capital of America, What Makes Us Queer, and Tooshie Smooshie, the genres range from campy comedies to documentaries. The films start at 8pm, and afterward guests are invited to stay for snacks.
Saturday, the 17th, the festival returns to Leather Archives & Museum to show four more films opening with Sweet Prudence & the Erotic Adventure of Bigfoot at 2pm, and closing with Sirwiñakuy at 9pm.After Sirwiñakuy, guests are invited to end the evening at The LRA - Chicagoland BDSM Dungeon and Leather Club. We haven't been able to double-verify that all are invited -- members and non-members, but we're assuming that this invitation is also extended to GetLusty for Couples readers, too!
For all you kinky filmmakers who might be interested in submitting short films for 2014, customary topics include, BDSM, leather and fetish, swinging, non-monogamy and polyamory, role-play and gender bending, sex work and sex geekery. As long as your film celebrates sex as a right of self-expression, CineKink will be happy to consider your submission. Call for entries can be found here.
