CineKink is an NY-based organization that recognizes and encourages
the positive depiction of alternative sexuality in film and
television, most visibly through its annual film festival. Through a
curated program of films and videos that explore and celebrate a wide
diversity of alternative sexuality, topics touched upon by CineKink
include S/M, leather and fetish, swinging, non-monogamy, polamory and
gender bending. With offerings drawn from Hollywood and beyond, works
presented at the festival range from documen-tary,
drama, camp, comedy, hot porn and everything in between. YBCA and
CineKink are collaborating to produce a San Francisco version of this
unique festival.

Writer of O
by Pola Rapaport (2004, 80 min)
Published in Paris in 1954, Story of O was an immediate bestseller
and literary scandal: an elegantly written S/M fantasy by the
pseudonymous Pauline Reage. Years later, Dominique Aury, a mild-
mannered editor for a prestigious French publisher, revealed that she
was, in fact, the author. This rich documentary explores her original
inspirations, recreating the world of literary Paris and setting it
against vivid dramatic sequences that bring the infamous book to life-
expounding on the thorny relationship between sexuality and power,
submission and freedom, liberation and non-being.

Thu, Nov 3, 9 pm
Negotiations & Love Songs (shorts program)
From rubber fetish, S/M, polygamy and (gasp!) celibacy, this is a
wild program of six brand-new shorts.

Fri, Nov 4, 7 pm
Original Pride: The Satyrs Motorcycle Group
by Scott Bloom (2005, 56 min)
One of the first gay men's social organizations ever, The Satyrs
Motorcycle Club was formed in 1954 and remains a vital group of
Harley-riding, bearded and leather-clad men-loving men. This is first
a journey back to that illustrious start, offering a look at the men
who were there and framing their stories, memories and ongoing
influences on the leather community. And then a trip of the present-
day, a visit with The Satyrs at their annual outing in a remote
Northern California location, where thousands of gay bikers gather
and play in the woods.

Fri, Nov 4, 9 pm
Pornology New York
by Michele Capozzi (2005, 85 min)
A paean to underground New York, circa 1970-85, this engrossing
documentary brings together four of its most colorful protagonists-
Michele Capozzi, urban explorer and self-titled pornologist; Neville
Chambers, founder of the infamous Fuck Factory; Lenny Waller, long-
time front-man of the meat-packing district's now-defunct Hellfire
Club; and renowned pornstar/mistress/shaman, Porsche Lynn-for a look
back in time, an assessment of where we are today...and one very wild
farewell party.

Sat, Nov 5, 7 pm
S/M at the Movies: The Good, the Bad and the Ridiculous
Presented by Thor Stockman
Thor Stockman presents a live clip show, looking at how s/m and

musical numbers!
