2017-04-24T05:03:45-07:00Is Feminist Porn a Thing?For many, the term “feminist porn” may seem like an oxymoron.

Earlier-than-usual dates this year for CineKink NYC (February 7-12) and a ramped-up pre-production schedule hampered my ability to put together some coherent thoughts on the festival going into it. I’m happy, then, for the opportunity to remark on some of the highlights coming out of it — and things to look for in the year ahead, either via other festivals or as part of the CineKink 2012 tour.
After several weeks of being holed up with nothing but stacks of screeners, it’s very easy to fear I’ve lost perspective on what’s going to work well up on the big screen.
