The 3rd Annual New York S/M Film Festival & other fetish events

[slvjenn]

other than screenings all I see is this:

Saturday, Oct. 12th, 11 PM
Film Fest Wrap Party!
Location: TBA
The festival wrap party is also open to the general public – the experienced, novice or merely curious - this play party offers a safe and supervised space for people to meet others, and to explore or learn more about consensual S/M.

Is that what you think I would be most interested in if not the movies?

 

[Ebonyfire]

i'm not assuming anything I looked at the link but only saw tickets to the film parts and nothing about anything else other than why they are sponsoring it....

I'll look again maybe I missed something I have a habit of only skimming websites quickly

The website you looked at is the details of the Festival. Themain website has a link at the top of the page.

3 days of fun

Friday, Oct. 11th, 7:00 PM
Girl King
Location: Anthology Film Archives, 32 2nd Ave., NYC
Ileana Pietrobruno, 2002, USA, 80 minutes.
Starring Crystal Donbraith and Victoria Deschanel.
In this playful and rollicking swashbuckler, drag king pirates take to the high seas on a quest to restore stolen treasures. The gender-skewed adventures begin when Butch, a handsome but naive baby butch, is compelled by the Queen to seek out and bring back her purloined “koilos”- the source of all pleasures and the very key to order and harmony on her island. As an additional inducement, however, the Queen holds out to Butch the promised return of the hostaged Claudia, a beautiful and feisty femme who's not about to sit idly by awaiting rescue.
with
Luna
Denny Daniel, 1991, USA, 5 minutes.
A tapestry-like portrait of Mistress Luna in ritual and performance at the Limelight.

Friday, Oct. 11th, 9:00 PM

New York Premiere!
The Story Of O: Untold Pleasures
Location: Anthology Film Archives, 32 2nd Ave., NYC
Phil Leirness, 2001, USA, 99 minutes.
Starring Danielle Ciardi, Neil Dickson, Max Parrish and Michele Rubin.
A talented photographer living in contemporary Los Angeles, O is torn between the demands of earning a living and her own artistic aims. Encouraged by her boyfriend, Rene, O decides that she should pursue her artistic passion without reservation, setting aside financial realities until she has completed her beautiful, avant-garde book of original photos. In hopes of enabling O to focus her energies on the book, Rene introduces her to a mysterious benefactor, the wealthy and powerful Sir Stephen. What begins as a promising arrangement turns out to be a dangerous path for O, as she is drawn into a seductive world of deceit, power and eroticism. (Director Phil Leirness will be on hand after the screening for an audience Q&A.)

Friday, Oct. 11th, 11:00 PM
SPECIAL PROGRAM:
"Concerned Women and Porn"
Location: Anthology Film Archives, 32 2nd Ave., NYC
Seven Deadly Sins
Maria Beatty, 2002, USA, 52 minutes.
Starring Mistress Dakota and Katie Jordan.
A gorgeously shot visit to the Roaring Twenties, when decadence was a privilege. Caught in the act of coveting her mistress' position as a notorious exotic dancer, a young maid must submit to her sadism and lust, her perfect body becoming the theatre for an exacting re- enactment of the Seven Deadly Sins. "Beatty makes porno into fetishistic film noir; imagine a kinky Louise Brooks, a sadistic Marlene Dietrich (who's the top?), and some nipple clamps and hot wax, and you're beginning to get the idea." -- Tristan Taormino, Village Voice
with
Capture
Alpha, 2002, USA, 48 minutes.
Starring Jett Steele, Maitresses Elise and Katryn MacGregor, and Kenny.
With smokey-voiced narration and a stylistic nod to the hard- boiled detective flick, a predatory girl gang “abducts” a hunky ladies man and trains him to be their "boy toy." Along the way he is alternately subjected to delightful tortures, then cruelly ignored as the girls turn their attentions to each other.
"Independently made, it's a breath of fresh air...well-edited and paced, it's a bisexual gender-bender!" -- Laura Weide, On Our Backs
"...there is voyeurism and fetish everywhere...the chemistry is for real and it shows!" -- Shara Black, The Advocate.

Saturday, Oct. 12th, 7:00 PM

Sade
Location: Anthology Film Archives, 32 2nd Ave., NYC
Benoit Jacquot, 2000, France, 100 minutes. In French with English subtitles.
Starring Daniel Auteuil, Marianne Denicourt and Isild Le Besco.
Described by director Benoit Jacquot as “..a cross between a rose and a whip,” this sumptuous look at the Marquis de Sade finds him in the year 1794, at the bloodiest heights of the French revolution and recently interred at Picpus, an uneasy asylum for aristocrats avoiding the guillotine. As a former mistress pulls strings to keep him off of the daily death lists, Sade endeavors to make the most of his captivity, holding amused court with his scandalized fellow inmates and inspiring the eventual trust of the wary but intrigued young Emilie. And when the carnage ultimately moves to within the gates of the asylum, Sade’s celebration of sensation, the existentialism of his writings and philosophy, are put in historical and illuminating place. “In its quiet, literate way, the film is almost as subversive as its central character.”-- Stephen Holden, The New York Times
"...a fiercely clever and subtle film...like Sade himself, utterly unblinking in the face of extreme pain and sexuality.”-- Rich Cline, Film Threat

Saturday, Oct. 12th, 9:00 PM

Location: Anthology Film Archives, 32 2nd Ave., NYC

Created as a music video for the band RmT, the animated story of a nervous cow and her overly-fixated owner.

It Takes Two


Darianna Cardilli, 2001, USA, 5 minutes.
What started as foreplay in the brothels of Buenos Aires has become one of the safest and most beautiful forms of sex.

ASFR

In the spring, a young man's fancy turns to...

Gillian Ashurt, 2000, New Zealand, 18 minutes.
The mystery of a missing pin-up legend unfolds against a background of fantastic lingerie.



Toetally Soleful Feeture Pedsintation
Martha Colburn, 1999, USA, 6 minutes.
Hoof-jobs, lawn mowers, ped-pecking chickens and a wide variety of de- toeification are among some of the antics in this cut-out, pop-up, over-board, underground animated “psycho-spazz-u-mentary.”

Babette's Feet
Harry Killas, 1998, Canada, 17 minutes.

Well Eb, it is looking good that I will be able to meet up with you for a few hours tomorrow. I'm still looking into Saturday night. I will give you a call tomorrow when I have a better idea of when I am getting out of work.

[serijules]

Man I'd love to go to this...

I do plan to go to NYC one of these...years...sigh. I have a lot of friend into the scene in that area, and I'm tired of turning down invitations to visit and participate. I need to win a lottery!!

I make a trip twice a year to a private party and love it, but would like to attend some bigger events.

[lilminx]

Eb, I'd be interested in going, but I don't want to end up being there by myself. Are you and Persephone planning on seeing all 3 movies?

 

[Ebonyfire]

I do not know if Perse is going to see any of the movies. We should be able to meet up in the afternoon.

You are welcome to come to the movies with me and bitchboy if you like. I may have to go alone Friday night cause he is working late.

[Daddyslilpet]

[lilminx]

Zipman, I like that idea. Three movies in one night might be too much for me. Ebonyfire, are you planning on seeing all 3 movies, or would you be open to getting a drink and then seeing O?

Update

I went to one film during the weekend which I enjoyed a great deal. Even better, was having the opportunity to meet both Eb and Persephone. It was great seeing the people that I post with her at Lit.

The movie I saw with them was the Story of O and it was very entertaining. I didn't love the lead actress, but damn there were some hot whipping scenes in the movie.

Thanks for the info and it was a pleasure to meet you Eb!
