New York’s “Kinky Film Festival” goes digital for the first time as CineKink Virtual Edition, screening online to a global audience for the first time, powered by PinkLabel.TV!

The move to go digital was in response to health concerns related to COVID-19. We’re proud to offer a welcoming online platform for adult film festivals to be able to present films in a safe way during this time, and for filmmakers to have their hard work viewed by appreciating audiences around the world.

Films presented at CineKink celebrate and explore a wide array of sexuality with offerings drawn from both Hollywood and beyond, works presented by CineKink range from documentary to drama, camp comedy to artsy experimental, mildly spicy to quite explicit — and everything in between.

This year’s completely digital festival boasts 10 expertly curated live programs, filmmaker Q&As, as well as a kinky kick-off bingo, a “Bring It!”-style adult entertainment vote showdown, the CineKink Awards Celebration and a “DIY Afterglow” to wrap the festivities.

Whet your appetite on Day 1 with a “Taste of CineKink” screening a special selection of films on-demand for 24 hours. Then buckle in for back-to-back assortment of shorts and features. If you miss a screening, you can catch them all with “ENCORE!” on the last day of the festival, Sunday, December 6th, when all programs and films will be available to watch on-demand for the festival’s final 24 hours.
