CABERET DESIRE
Erika Lust, 2011, Spain, 74 minutes. US Premiere
Set against a sumptuous Barcelona backdrop and inspired by the real-life Poetry Brothel, based in New York, CABARET DESIRE weaves together several erotic vignettes, each introduced by a "poetry courtesan" at a bohemian gathering where readings, dance and music create a sensual vibe. A young woman grows tired of sexual labels and throws off having to choose. A poet recounts the unconventional escapades of his mysterious mother. At the brink of thirty, a woman looks at how her life has converged from the fantasies of her youth. The participants of a heated, short-lived tryst nervously anticipate their reunion an entire year later.

AFTER FALL, WINTER
Eric Schaeffer, 2011, USA, 130 minutes. Stars Eric Schaeffer and Lizzie Brocheré. A sexy, poignant and at times darkly funny story about two people desperately seeking love. Michael, a once-successful writer now in the depths of financial ruin, decides to spend some time in Paris to find new inspiration and a break from his situation. To channel his frustrations, he often seeks out sexual domination, a proclivity he discloses to no one. Sophie, a young French hospice nurse, secretly moonlights as an upscale dominatrix, as much for a sense of control as for the extra money it affords. Both desperately want intimacy and ache for a connection that will change their lives… and when they meet, their chemistry is instantaneous. Fear and fiercely-guarded truths, however, will doom their passion as surely as any star-crossed love.

CINEKINK NYC SCREENINGS
The festivities then move to Anthology Film Archives (32 Second Avenue, NYC), Wednesday, February 8 through Saturday, February 11, with several different film and video programs scheduled for each day.
*WEDNESDAY
Among the headliners, first up on Wednesday, February 8 at 7:00 PM, the festival's CineKink Season Opener screening is Erika Lust's CABARET DESIRE which, inspired by New York’s real-life Poetry Brothel, uses "poetry courtesans" to weave together several erotic vignettes.
And at 9:00 PM, AFTER FALL, WINTER is a sexy, funny and darkly poignant story about two lovers who desperately crave intimacy, yet fiercely resist revealing their true sexual selves ... even to each other.
*THURSDAY
On Thursday, February 9 at 7:00 PM, it's (A)SEXUAL, a documentary look at what it’s like to be without sexual desire in a society that is otherwise obsessed.
And at 9:10 PM, KINK & KINSHIP is a program of short works that celebrate the special sense of community our shared kinks tend to engender.
*FRIDAY
On Friday, February 10 at 6:30 PM, the lives of several people are turned upside down when they meet sexy Cecile, a character who symbolizes DESIRE.
At 8:45 PM, the shorts program COUPLINGS is a hot mess of twosomes, threesomes and more-somes!
And in SEXUALLY FRANK, at 10:40 PM, a group of long-time friends finds that sex is no less befuddling now than it was during puberty.
*SATURDAY
Kicking off Saturday, February 11 at 12:30 PM - and our matinee porn trilogy aka "Pornopalooza!!" - many hijinks ensue in SWEET PRUDENCE & THE EROTIC ADVENTURE OF BIGFOOT, when the mythical beast is spotted at a remote nudist resort.
At 2:45 PM, a special industry showcase, BRING IT!, features a dazzling array of talent from today's adult cinema, all stepping up with a hot sampling of their recent creative endeavors.
At 5:00 PM, STAGE BROTHER follows the cross-county quest of a young, New Jersey woman who dreams of making it in the world of adult entertainment.
At 7:15 PM, in SIRWIÑAKUY, two Bolivian strangers participate in their own kinky version of a sirwiñakuy, an indigenous tradition where a man brings home a trial “wife.”
And, closing out the festival's regular screening schedule at 9:45 PM, the romantic drama “3” tells the story of Hanna and Simon who, on the brink of their 20th anniversary, separately become enamored with the same younger man.
CINEKINK AWARDS CELEBRATION - Sunday, 2/12 @ 6:00 pm
Be sure to come out and drink a toast to this year's fantastic crop of CineKink filmmakers! Featuring encore screenings of jury-selected best shorts from the festival, along with presentations of the annual CineKink Awards. (FREE admission; location tba)

CineKink Updates cinekink2012@cinekink.com CineKink Selects 'Cabaret Desire' to Open Ninth Annual Film Festival
CineKink is pleased to announce that the "Season Opener" selection for its ninth annual film festival, CineKink NYC, running February 7-12, 2012, is the US premiere of CABARET DESIRE.
Directed by Erika Lust, whose short works have won numerous awards at CineKink over the years, CABARET DESIRE weaves together several erotic vignettes, each introduced by a "poetry courtesan" at a bohemian gathering where readings, dance and music create a sensual vibe.
Set against a sumptuous Barcelona backdrop, CABARET DESIRE was inspired by the real-life Poetry Brothel, based in New York, and features some of its performers in setting each story into motion, tracing a journey through four tales of intimacy, love, passion and sex. A young woman grows tired of sexual labels and throws off having to choose. A poet recounts the unconventional escapades of his mysterious mother. At the brink of thirty, a woman looks at how her life has converged from the fantasies of her youth. The participants of a heated, short-lived tryst nervously anticipate their reunion an entire year later.
"It's a genuine delight to have CABARET DESIRE open up this year's festival and season," said Lisa Vandever, co-founder and director of CineKink. "Erika Lust is an amazing director, whose explicitly erotic work demonstrates a real cinematic sensibility. Gorgeous filmmaking, engaging performances and a great sense of story -- her films really exemplify everything that CineKink exists to encourage."
CABARET DESIRE will screen on Wednesday, February 8, 7:00 pm at Anthology Film Archives (32 Second Avenue, NYC), where the majority of the festival screenings are also unfolding.
CineKink NYC kicks off the previous evening, Tuesday, February 7, with a gala fundraising kick-off party, and runs through Sunday, February 12, concluding with an awards ceremony and an AfterGlow closing party.

CineKink Updates cinekink2012@cinekink.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CineKink Announces Dates for Ninth Annual Kinky Film Festival, Makes Final Call for Entries
NEW YORK, NY; December 1, 2011 - Scheduled for February 7-12, 2012, the ninth annual CineKink NYC will feature a specially-curated program of films and videos that celebrate and explore a wide diversity of sexuality. In addition to screenings, plans for the festival also include a short film competition, audience choice awards, a special adult entertainment showcase, presentations, parties and a gala kick-off, all to be followed by a national tour.
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. 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.
"We're once again looking to blur some boundaries and spice things up with our programming," said Lisa Vandever, Co-Founder and Director of CineKink. "Our audience has come to expect a quality selection of smart and sexy works and, judging from the films that have come in so far, the 2012 season will not disappoint!"
CineKink recently completed its 2011 national tour in Chicago, concluding a season that also saw the festival visiting Austin, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Portland and Washington, DC.
A call for entries to submit works for CineKink/2012 runs until December 12, 2011, and the festival line-up and schedule for CineKink NYC will be announced in early January.
