CineKink Festival Tour Kicks Off in Portland / Tuesday, August 9
New York, NY; July 12, 2016 – A special evening of films that celebrate and explore a wide diversity of sexuality will screen on Tuesday, August 9, 2016 as CineKink, “the kinky film festival,” returns to Portland for a hot, one-night stand. CineKink: PDX will begin at 7pm with a screening of the shorts program, “Best of CineKink/2016,” followed by the feature “Schnick Schnack Schnuck” at 9pm. Both screenings will take place at the Clinton Street Theater (2522 SE Clinton St.).
At 7 PM, “Best of CineKink/2016” is a collection of sexy shorts deemed the best during CineKink’s most recent festival run. This year’s assortment, with works ranging from documentary to drama, comedy to experimental, mildly spicy to quite explicit, includes ‘Pepper’ (Patrick Aubert), ‘Dad in Mum’ (Fabrice Bracq), ‘Everybody Does It’ (Megan Brotherton), ‘Feminist Porn Filmmakers’ (Lora Hristova), ‘Wild Lovers’ (Isabel Dresler), ‘I Am a Tourist I Would Like to See Him Naked’ (Margie Schnibbe), ‘Locked’ (René de Sans and Mamana), ‘RITES’ (BunnyZ) and ‘An Appointment With My Master’ (Erika Lust).
And at 9 PM, the festival’s 2016 audience choice award winner, “Schnick Schnack Schnuck” is a playful take on sex and jealousy, love and relationships, monogamy and polyamory. A refreshingly up-to-date and sun-dappled homage to 1970s porn, this charming farce follows the erotic misadventures of a young couple, Felix and Emmi, when they set out to spend a weekend apart. (Directed by Maike Brochhaus, 2015, Germany, 84 minutes.)

SCHNICK SCHNACK SCHNUCK
Winner – CineKink Audience Choice Award for Best Narrative Feature/2016
A playful take on sex and jealousy, love and relationships, monogamy and polyamory, this charming farce is a refreshingly up-to-date and sun-dappled homage to 1970s porn. A long-term couple faces a weekend apart: Felix is set to hit a music festival with his buddy, Kai, and Emmi plans to stay home and grade papers. But the guys end up way off course and in the midst of tempting new company, while Emmi’s old friend, Magda, turns up with some intriguing revelations and a sex party in the works. Things naturally get a little out of hand – and everybody is naked in the end! (Directed by Maike Brochhaus, 2015, Germany, 84 minutes; Portland premiere.)
