Set for its fifth annual appearance, CINEKINK NYC Film Festival hits various Manhattan venues Feb 26–Mar 2. The “really alternative film festival” again presents a specially-curated program of films and videos that celebrate and explore the wide diversity of sexuality. The event also features a short film competition, audience choice awards, presentations, a gala kick-off party and a closing afterglow celebration. Highlights include Triple X Selects: The Best of Lezsploitation, an international feast of lezsploitation from the ‘60s and ‘70s in all of its notoriously twisted glory; Silken Sleeves, a journey through two women’s experiments with domination and submission; and Sex Mannequin, the story of a mannequin who comes alive to the kiss of her mistress, ready to serve—and to take—in a variety of kinky ways.
