New York Featured Event



Gigi La Femme
Just as she did last year, Melissa Ulto invites you to spend Valentine's Day in a dark movie theatre watching erotic films and burlesque babes. The films will be judged and prizes will be awarded in the categories of fiction, documentary, short and animation/experimental. This year's venue is the dark and mysterious Red Room theater, part of the KGB Bar/Kraine Theater building. You and your date could dine in one of the many neighborhood restaurants close to the theater; it's a sexy spin on dinner and a movie that should leave you sated in more ways than one.

The original SinCiné debuted in 2002 as an erotic party in conjunction with a film festival. Last year over twenty sexy films were screened at SinCiné 2005: The Second Cumming, held at The Gallery at The Gershwin. Elizabeth Elson took home the Best Long Documentary prize for Born in a Barn, Jeffrey Lei's mockumentary Dick Ho, Asian Porn Star won the Erotic Spirit prize and Faiyaz Jafri won Best Animation for his Music Box. SinCiné 2006 carries on the tradition with three nights of "erotic art films" with a theme of "Sex, Drugs & Rock 'n' Roll."


Anita Cookie
Ulto, the co-founder of the festival, currently curates a monthly film series at KGB Bar presented by HorseTrade Theater Group and works professionally as a writer, photographer and filmmaker. She has always been intrigued by how people differentiate between "porn" and "erotica," and the works presented will vary wildly, including everything from animation to documentary, soft core to hard core.

This year there will be quite a few animated shorts, such as "The Age of Ignorance" by Oscar-winning claymation artist Jimmy Picker, and three films by Signe Bauman and Matthew Sheridan's SynThesis. Calling it a "best of and best of the new," Melissa tells us she will be bringing back a few of last year's winners to complement the new films. Featured films include Jimmy Mehiel's Black Jack's Magic Room, Pornoqatsi, Honey & Bunny and Pornographic Apathetic. Many of the filmmakers will be on hand to field questions about their creations.

Each of the three nights will center on one theme, with Tuesday night being Sex night, Wednesday night celebrating Drugs, and Thursday night being the night for Rock 'n' Roll. Along with the films screened, guests will be treated to tantalizing burlesque performances by Miss Bonnie Dunn, Gigi La Femme, Anita Cookie, Kit Katastrophe, Nasty Canasta, Smokifantastic, Clea Cutthroat, Cherry Bomb and Scarlet Sinclair. You'll enjoy a multimedia performance by Amy Greenfield and Bonnie Dunn.

The awards will be presented on Thursday night. To celebrate closing night, the Trailer Park Rangers will serve up a sloppy set of dirty ditties about, yes, sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll.

SinCiné is thrilled to have the support of their sponsors: Babeland, KGB Bar, Bust magazine, Le Roi body piercing salon, Pleasure Chest, Soundpost and Eventmail.com.
