CineKink Festival Tour Lands in Oakland August 8

PORTLAND, OR—The 2013 CineKink Festival continues its national tour with a one-night screening of sex-positive and kink-friendly films in Oakland, California, on Thursday, August 8. CineKink:Oakland will begin at 7pm with a screening of the Best of CineKink/2013, sponsored by Feelmore510.com, Oakland’s first progressive adult store and art gallery. All screenings will take place at The New Parkway Theater. “Feelmore believes that the Urban 'Sexual’ Renewal, which encouraged us to seek out sponsoring CineKink, is just as critical to the development of Oakland as the current economic revitalization that is happening in this powerful city,” said Feelmore510 owner Nenna Joiner. “We are truly privileged to pair our brand with other world renowned brands such as CineKink, and this connection speaks volumes to the sentiment of our brand.” In addition to sponsoring CineKink, Feelmore510 regularly hosts an Erotic Film Night on the second Friday of every month at The New Parkway, along with workshops at the retail store and other events in the Oakland area. The New Parkway Theater is an eclectic movie-going experience, where people not only come to watch movies but to have an unforgettable night out with friends and community, offering couch seating, freshly cooked meals and snacks, and local wines and beers on tap. The “Best of CineKink/2013” short films program is comprised of productions awarded prizes by CineKink jurors at the annual CineKink NYC festival, which takes place each year in late February. With works ranging from documentary to drama, comedy to experimental, mildly spicy to quite explicit, this year’s edition includes 50 Seconds of 50 Shades (Bo Blaze), Naked Love: Ea’s Garden (Sara Kimmel), Impact (Mollena Williams), Rift (Keith Hodder), Ritual (Jörg Fockele), Zucht Und Ordnung (Jan Soldat), Amber (Aven Frey, Gala Vanting, and Frank Ly), Krutch (Clark Matthews), and Pinecone (Michael Markham). “It’s great to be returning to the Bay Area with our programming, and we’re delighted to be working with new partners like Feelmore510,” says Lisa Vandever, Co-Founder and Director of CineKink. “It’s exciting to be a part of the new Oakland landscape.” The New Parkway is located at 474 24thSt, Oakland, CA.
