NEW YORK CITY—CineKink, which brands itself as "the kinky film festival," has recently completed its 14th season and is seeking works that celebrate and explore a wide diversity of sexuality for its 2018 season.
Dedicated to the recognition and encouragement of sex-positive and kink-friendly depictions in film and television, CineKink is looking to blur boundaries and will be considering offerings drawn from both the mainstream film world and the adult, with selections ranging from documentary to drama, camp comedy to artsy experimental, mildly spicy to quite explicit—and everything in between.
Scheduled for its 15th annual appearance in March 2018, the specially-curated CineKink NYC will feature a short film competition, audience choice awards, a "Bring It!" adult entertainment showcase/contest, a gala kick-off event and a sexy closing-night party. A national tour will follow, showcasing favorites from the NYC festival selections.
Cutting across orientations, topics covered at CineKink have included (but are by no means limited to) BDSM, leather and fetish, swinging, non-monogamy and polyamory, roleplay and gender-bending, sex work and sex geekery. Films, videos and original digital series of any length and genre are welcome for submission.
