Honorable Best Mention awards were presented to “Turning Japanese” (Paul Bickel) and “Love Hotel: Room 33? (Erika Lust).

Determining the shorts awards, CineKink jurors this year included Rick Vaicius, director of the Flyway Film Festival, along with Viviane Tang, ring-leader of the sex blog “Viviane’s Sex Carnival,” and Bill Woods, a film festival programmer and curator of the New Filmmakers series at Anthology Film Archives.
