Call for Entries - CineKink 2018
A reminder, since time is running out...CineKink - "the kinky film festival" - is seeking films, videos and original digital series, of any length and genre, that explore and celebrate a wide diversity of sexuality.
Dedicated to the recognition and encouragement of sex-positive and kink-friendly depictions in film and television, we're looking to blur some boundaries and will be considering offerings drawn from both the independent film world and the adult, with works ranging from documentary to drama, camp comedy to artsy experimental, mildly spicy to quite explicit - and everything in between.
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. Basically, as long as it involves consenting adults, just about anything celebrating sex as a right of self expression is fair game. (Far be it from us to define "kink." If you think your work might make sense in this context, please send it along - just make sure it has something to do with sex!)
Scheduled for its 15th annual appearance in March 2018, the specially-curated CineKink NYC will also feature a short film competition, audience choice awards, a special adult entertainment showcase/contest, a gala kick-off event and our infamous closing-night Afterglow party. A national tour will follow, highlighting favorites from the NYC festival selections.
There are just two deadlines remaining to enter work for the 2018 CineKink season. The "late" deadline is November 20th. An "extended deadline" runs until December 4th for works submitted via FilmFreeway or Withoutabox only.
As always, entry fees are waived for CineKink-alumni directors, provided they are submitted by the "late" deadline of November 20th.

Billed as "the kinky film festival," with offerings drawn from both the independent cinema world and the adult, works presented at CineKink NYC will range from documentary to drama, comedy to experimental, slightly spicy to quite explicit--and everything in between.
"As always, we’re looking to blur some boundaries and mix things up a bit,” said Lisa Vandever, Co-Founder and Director of CineKink. "People naturally fixate on the 'kink' in our name, but really, as long as it involves consenting adults, just about anything celebrating sex as a right of self expression is fair game!"
In addition to screenings, plans for CineKink NYC also include a short film competition, audience choice awards, a "Bring It!"-style adult entertainment competition, panels and workshops, a kick-off gala and a sizzling "Afterglow" wrap party to round out the festivities.
A tour will follow on the heels of this flagship event of the CineKink annual season, showcasing audience favorites from the NYC festival selections, with CineKink visiting such cities as Austin, Boston, Chicago, DC, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Oakland, Portland, San Francisco and Seattle over the years, and recent international stops including Berlin, Melbourne and Sydney.
A call for entries to submit works for CineKink/2015 runs until December 12, 2014, and the festival line-up and schedule for CineKink NYC will be announced in January.

We’re busy gearing up for the eleventh season of CineKink and, with your help, we’re hoping to make this the best and biggest year yet ... for both our upcoming NYC festivities and our annual screening tour.
To that end, we’ve launched our first-ever Kickstarter crowd-funding campaign - and we would love your support. We've pushed past $7,500 raised and … with just over 54 hours to go until our deadline on Sunday, we're within striking range of our $11,000 goal. That goal, though, IS all-or-nothing … and we can use every bit of help we can get!
If you're local to NYC and plan to be joining us next week, we've got kick-off gala admissions and CineKink NYC All-Access passes available among the rewards for your pledge.
And if you're following us from afar - likely joining us for one of our tour appearances during the CineKink 2014 season - we've got lots of rewards that you can enjoy as well. (What all is in the "booty call" reward package? We can't tell you … but we're sure you'll like! :)
In case this is your first Kickstarter, the process is very simple. You can set up your pledge using any name you like, and just make your payment through an existing Amazon account.
But again, it’s an all-or-nothing campaign! If we don’t make our goal of $11, 000 by Sunday at midnight, we don’t receive a thing. So, please jump in and help make us happen!

“Kinky Film Festival” Invites Filmmakers to Submit Sex-Positive, Kink-Friendly Entries for 11th Annual Event!

CineKink Announces Call for Entries for 2014 Festival Season
“Kinky Film Festival” Invites Filmmakers to Submit Sex-Positive, Kink-Friendly Entries for 11th Annual Event!
Rahway, NJ – October 2, 2013 – CineKink has announced a call for entries for its 2014 season. The “kinky film festival” is seeking films and videos, of any length and genre, that explore and celebrate a wide diversity of sexuality.
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 consider offerings drawn from both Hollywood and beyond, with works ranging from documentary to drama, camp comedy to artsy experimental, mildly spicy to quite explicit – and everything in between.
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, gender bending, sex work and sex geekery.
Submission categories include: shorts (less than 40 minutes long; eligible for jury-determined awards) features (longer than 40 minutes; eligible for audience choice awards)
* adult cinema / porn excerpts (10-25 minute segments of longer works; eligible for 'Bring It!' showcase)
There is no restriction on production completion dates, as long as the work is completed at the time of submission. International submissions in most overseas formats are also accepted.
"Basically, as long as it involves consenting adults, just about anything that celebrates sex as a right of self expression is fair game," says Lisa Vandever, CineKink co-founder and director. "Far be it from us to define ‘kink’ – if you think your work might make sense in this context, please send it to us for consideration."
Scheduled for its 11th annual appearance in February 2014, the specially-curated CineKink NYC, the organization's flagship festival, will feature a short film competition, audience choice awards, an adult entertainment showcase/contest, a gala kick-off event, and a sexy closing-night party. A national tour will follow the New York festivities, drawing from its programming to showcase award-winners and audience favorites in cities across the country, adding visibility nationwide and year-round. The 2013 CineKink Festival Tour is currently underway, with screenings scheduled in such cities as Portland, San Francisco, Austin, Chicago, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Berlin, and more.
Discounted, early-bird entries must be postmarked by October 11th, while the regular deadline is November 15th. The final festival deadline is December 6th.
