A special evening of film and video shorts that celebrate and explore a wide diversity of sexuality will screen on Thursday, August 5, 2010 as CineKink, “the kinky film festival,” comes to the ClintonStreet Theater (2522 SE Clinton St, Portland) for a one-night stand.

7 PM – YES, MISTRESS
At 7:00 pm, the shorts program YES, MISTRESS looks at female domination from
several angles. Among the offerings, THE PAWN LAYMAN (F.P. Lenze, 2007,
Germany, 5 minutes) presents a desperate man trying to sell some of his most
intimate possessions in a pawn shop. ANTI-SAMARITAN HOTLINE (A. Tad
Chamberlain, 2009, USA, 23 minutes) is a comedy about death, despair,
suicide and sadomasochism. TRAMPLING MX-BEAR (Gabriela Granados, 2009,
Mexico, 5 minutes) features Mistress Lady G and her bear begging for
redemption, and GIRLS ROCK (Steven S., 2008, USA, 4 minutes) has two women
vie for dominance on a New York City rooftop. In TAXI: DOMME (by Marie
Angel, 2009, USA, 7 minutes), a wealthy New Yorker hires a sophisticated
domme to tease and torment her in the back of a taxi. SERVICE (Julie Simone,
2009, USA, 2 minutes) explores the Domme/sub dynamic through language. In
HOUSEKEEPER (Ben Lumpkin, 2009, USA, 12 minutes) a corporate couple’s
marriage is saved when a dominatrix takes them hostage, while in LIBIDOLAND
(Julie Keck & Jessica King 2009, USA, 15 minutes), a couple discovers the
consequences of allowing fantasies to override common sense.

9 PM – BEST OF CINEKINK/2010
And at 9:00 PM, BEST OF CINEKINK/2010 is a showcase of works deemed by jury
to be the best at CineKink’s annual festival. This year’s award winners
include a ukelele-playing kinkstress in THE PINKY SONG (Rick Ferguson, 2009,
USA, 3 minutes), a musical tribute to new love… and the revelation that
you “like it kind of kinky.” BALLOONS (Charles Nuckolls, 2009, USA, 15
minutes) is a documentary look at what one might think of as an innocent
children’s play-thing. In HANDCUFFS (Erika Lust, 2009, Spain, 7 minutes), a
woman gets caught up in a voyeuristic scenario and in COVERAGE (Jef Taylor,
2008, USA, 29 minutes), the events of September 11th, 2001 create a sexual
obsession that threatens to destroy a relationship. HUNGRY FOR LOVE (Ruckus
Skye, 2009, USA, 17 minutes) traces the explorations of a 72-year-old widow
as she unearths a startling memory from her past and WALKING THE DOG (Luigi
