CineKink NYC
Festival of erotic films.
About
CineKink is an organization that recognizes and encourages the positive depiction of sexuality in film and television, most visibly through an annual film festival, CineKink NYC, and subsequent touring series.
Featuring a specially-selected program of films and videos that explore and celebrate a wide diversity of sexuality, we're looking to blur some boundaries and will be considering offerings drawn from both Hollywood and beyond, explicit or not, with works ranging from documentary to drama, camp comedy to artsy experimental, mildly spicy to quite explicit - and everything in between.
Awards
- CineKink - Feature Film: Audience Choice Award;
- CineKink - Short Film and Series: Best of Fest Award;
- CineKink - Excerpt: Bring It! Award.
- CineKink - original digital series
