The big winners at the 2011 CineKink Awards, presented Sunday night in New York City, were Vivian Darkbloom's Indietro (Audience Choice Award for Best Narrative Feature), Kink Crusaders (Audience Choice Award for Best Documentary), and Tristan Taormino's Rough Sex II (2011 'Bring It!' Award). Check out the slideshow at left for a closer look at this year's winners.
Indietro (Kink Studios) stars William Van Noland, Aurora Snow, Madison Young, Lilla Kat, and Ned Henry in a kinky tale set in a surprising suburbia. Check out the (NSFW) trailer and more at IndietroMovie.com:
"Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf", Anais Nin, and "The Story of O" were among the inspirations for Vivian Darkbloom's "Indietro", a story about relationships, misconceptions, and desire. On a chilly winter evening, Honey and Nick, Mr. and Mrs. Suburbia, pay a visit to the mysterious and sprawling home of George and Martha, the king and queen of kink, and their “maid”, Camille. As the night slowly unravels from the wee small hours of morning back to its beginning, we discover the truth about each of the characters, their motivations, and their darkest longings. Indietro takes a back flip into the world of BDSM and sex, pushes conventional boundaries, and takes an intimate look at what lengths people will go to in the pursuit of love, connection, and carnal fulfillment.
Kink Crusaders (Third Rail Media), directed by Micahel Skiff, profiles the International Mr. Leather competition. It was the opening film for this week's 8th annual CineKink NYC film festival competition, and will also be featured next month at the 13th annual Miami Gay & Lesbian Film Festival. Check out the trailer at left for a closer look. Via KinkCrusaders-TheMovie.com:
The story of the world’s oldest Kink/Fetish competition - the INTERNATIONAL MR. LEATHER contest. And after 30 years, it’s not just a ‘white gay male’ event anymore! Today, men who are straight, disabled, elderly - or maybe transgender - join with their gay brethren to compete in this honor of masculinity. And it was all started by the man who opened Chicago’s first Leather bar in the 1950s. From street corner preachers to President Obama and Abu Griab in between, ‘Kink Crusaders’ explores a world as close to you as your neighbors next door.
Tristan Taormino's Rough Sex 2 (Vivid Entertainment) won this year's Bring It! award as the main attraction in the festival's annual adult cinema showcase on Saturday. The film stars Madison Young, Dylan Ryan, Adrianna Nicole, April Flores, Bobby Starr, Chayse Evans, and Sinnamon Love (the CineKink award specifically acknowledged a scene starring and directed by Love). This film from the feminist porn director at the center of controversy at Oregon State University earlier this year is not for the faint of heart (which is precisely the point). Via Vivid.com:
They create the scenes. They choose their partners. They control what happens. Mistress Claire takes her pet April on an unforgettable ride. Bobbi tastes total submission at the back of her throat. Ponygirl Madison gets trained. Chayse and Mark double team slave Adrianna. Madison bakes a cake for her Mistress with interesting results. Sinnamon serves her Master (and his friends) at a poker game. Each woman shares her most intimate desires, tests her own boundaries, and rides the seductive line between pleasure and pain. Witness female sexuality at its most extreme: raw, rough, and real.
Other winning films included Anna Treimann's Cactus (Best Dramatic Short), HydroMadam's Love, Hugs and Kisses, Sissy Stephanie (Best Documentary Short), Bette Bentley's Piss (Best Comedic Short), and Joshua Bewig's Butterfly Caught (Best Experimental Short). Honorable Best Mention awards went to Erika Lust's Love Hotel and Paul Bickell's Turning Japanese.
The CineKink Film Festival will be touring later this year and is currently booking its 2011 season. Visit CineKink.com for tour dates as they become available or to help bring the festival to a theater near you.
