RAHWAY, New Jersey — CineKink, the annual film festival and national screening tour dedicated to “celebrating and exploring the wide diversity of sexuality,” has launched its first-ever Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign.

In addition to screenings, plans for the six-day festival also include a short film competition, audience choice awards, an adult entertainment showcase and a gala kick-off event, along with retrospective screenings commemorating ten years of kinky programming.

A national tour will follow, showcasing audience favorites from the NYC festival selections in cities including Chicago, L.A., San Francisco, D.C., Seattle, Portland, Miami and Berlin.

 With offerings drawn from both the independent cinema and adult worlds, works presented at CineKink NYC will range from “documentary to drama, comedy to experimental, slightly spicy to quite explicit — and everything in between.”
