CineKink is back with its 20th anniversary film festival

CineKink NYC is back with its in-person film festival since 2019, "bringing with it a specially-curated program of films and videos that celebrate and explore a wide diversity of sexuality." 

This year's festival, which marks its 20th anniversary, includes filmmaker Q&As, a "Bring It!"-style adult entertainment showdown and a screening of a 50th-anniversary restored print of "Deep Throat." 

 

Via the EVG inbox: "Works featured at CineKink NYC will range from documentary to drama, comedy to experimental, mildly spicy to quite explicit — and everything in between." 

"We're delighted to return to the East Village for our in-person come-back," co-founder and director Lisa Vandever told EVG contributor Stacie Joy. "It's a place that has always welcomed artistic self-expression, and we really feel at home there."

The screenings and related events happen at The Wild Project, 195 E. Third St. between Avenue A and Avenue B. The kick-off party for CineKink members, filmmakers and all-access package holders takes place on Wednesday. Screenings are scheduled Thursday through Sunday.

CineKink NYC returns for its 16th annual engagement starting tomorrow (Wednesday) through Sunday ... and the Anthology Film Archives on Second Street at Second Avenue will be the main venue again for the curated program of films and videos that celebrate and explore a wide diversity of sexuality.

A few details via the EVG inbox...

Billing itself as "the kinky film festival," the event is presented by CineKink, an organization dedicated to the recognition and encouragement of sex-positive and kink-friendly depictions in film and television. Works featured at CineKink NYC will range from documentary to drama, comedy to experimental, mildly spicy to quite explicit — and everything in between.

The CineKink NYC festivities commence tomorrow (Wednesday) at 8 p.m. with a fundraising kick-off extravaganza to be held at M1-5 Lounge (52 Walker St.)

The festival then moves to Anthology Film Archives from Thursday through Saturday with several different film programs scheduled for each day.

The festivities conclude Sunday with an afternoon workshop titled "From Fantasy to Film: Design Your Own Porn Film."

One item of local interest to mention: Saturday's slate of shorts includes "The Baroness," who "navigates the ever-growing world of latex fashion." The Baroness has her shop over on 13th Street between Avenue A and Avenue B.
