Directed by Ryan Balas, 2013, USA, 69 minutes. Starring Richard Buonagurio, Audrey Kovar and Deirdre Herlihy.
Oft-nude Tumblr star Elenore is wending her way through the dynamics of a relationship with a powerful business woman when she meets Eugene, a happily-married office drone. The two begin a liaison that is heavy on roleplay, and cloaked in a form of semi-anonymity that can only come from digitally-born casual relationships. As Elenore slowly peels back Eugene’s shell, she gets a glimpse of his motivations for finding her, and what was once an attempt at a strictly sexual exchange becomes a meaningful connection of intimacy both hilarious and absurd, sincere and complex. Plays with UN BISOUS AMERICAIN (JM Darling, 2013, USA, 9 minutes.)

Saturday March 1 – 2:30 PM

SEX IT UP! (Panel Discussion)
What’s the difference between art and porn? The old joke is that “one is in focus,” but it’s also an aesthetic distinction that is increasingly irrelevant. Just as more “mainstream” indie filmmakers are utilizing explicit themes and imagery in their works, a new school of directors working on the adult side of the industry are creating works that defy the porn clichés. Several filmmakers and performers from the CineKink 2014 festival line-up will discuss what it takes to create stories that move behind the bedroom door and embrace the full range of our experiences.

BROKEN SIDE OF TIME
(Directed by Gorman Bechard, 2013, USA, 126 minutes. Starring Lynn Mancinell.)
Over a million women have modeling portfolios online, and Dolce is one of the models who have made a career of it. But now 30, and tired of competing with 18-year-olds, Dolce realizes what once made her feel most alive is now bringing her down. Before starting a new career behind the camera, she embarks on a long road trip home, shooting with her favorite photographers one last time, and shedding some old lifestyle vices along the way. Combines real photo shoots using actual photographers, and a narrative based on some of their real-life adventures in front of the lens, for a uniquely creative behind-the-scenes glimpse.

FOLSOM FOREVER
(Directed by Mike Skiff, 2014, USA, 86 minutes.)
In 1984, a scrappy little neighborhood in San Francisco – home to many low-income tenants and the heart of the gay male leather scene – faced destruction from the bulldozers of redevelopment and the AIDS crisis. The Folsom Street Fair was started to call attention to gentrification and raise money for AIDS charities. Including interviews with such leather luminaries as Race Bannon, this is the story of how this small street fair grew into the biggest outdoor kink and fetish event in the world, and managed to do a lot of good along the way. Plays with PISTOLS TO PORN (Meg Smaker, 2013, USA, 6 minutes) and TOM’S GIFT (Charles Lum, 2013, USA, 7 minutes).
