Opening Night Gala

Opening Night
Tuesday February 26 2008

A trio of works by New York-based directors will be the centerpiece of the event’s Kick-Off Gala and Opening Night Screening taking place on Tuesday, February 26th, a pansexual celebration that will also feature music, live performances and a fundraising silent auction.

The key offering for the evening, Richard Kimmel’s SCHWARZWALD, is a rich,
modern tapestry that combines elements of Druidic ritual with the
passionate, leather-clad goings-on of NYC’s annual Black Party. Following
the travails of the Black Prince as he is pursued through the forest and
kidnapped by underlings of the conniving Black Queen, the film stars Buck
Angel, the world famous female-to-male transsexual porn star, along with a
cast of literal thousands, and a continuous mix of music that culminates in
what its creators are touting as “the movie you can dance to!”

Also featured in the CineKink NYC opening night line-up is Leah Meyerhoff’s
TEAM QUEEN, a colorful music video for the group Triple Creme that features
some of the best in New York burlesque in a gender-bending, fire-breathing,
tassel-twirling, post-punk rock ‘n roll extravaganza. Two other shorts by Meyerhoff, Neurotica and Pacmouse will also be screening later in the festival.

And rounding out the selections, A DOG’S TALE, a first-time directorial
offering from photographer Steven Speliotis, is a sensuous and layered
reverie on control and submission, longing and desire.

SCHWARZWALD’s Richard Kimmel is primarily a theater director, writer and
producer, with experience in creating, in addition to the live version of
SCHWARZWALD, such performance events as “Pandora” and Jennifer Hudson’s New
York concert debut “One Night Only.” He is also Executive Director of The
Box, a venue on the city’s Lower East Side, and Artistic Director of Cannon
Company, a performance ensemble.

TEAM QUEEN’s Leah Meyerhoff is currently pursuing a Master’s in Film at New
York University. A Student Academy Awards finalist, Leah’s previous works
have been a hit on the international film festival circuit and she is
working on her first feature film.

The first-time director of A DOG’S TALE, Steven Speliotis, is an art and
portrait photographer whose work has been exhibited in solo shows in New
York and abroad, and is highlighted in the book “Asian Bondage.”

With over 70 selections set to screen over the course of the event, CineKink
NYC will feature a specially-curated program of films and videos that cuts
across orientations to celebrate and explore a wide diversity of sexuality.
In addition to screenings, the event will also feature a short film
competition, audience choice awards, presentations, parties and a closing
afterglow celebration.

The full program line-up for CineKink NYC, as well as additional details on
the kick-off gala and advance tickets for the festival, will be available
online beginning Monday, February 4th.
