The eighth annual CineKink NYC, dedicated to screening "kink-positive depictions in film and television," presented its top awards to Vivan Darkbloom's "Indietro" as best narrative and Mike Skiff's "Kink Crusaders" as best documentary.

In the shorts competition - juried by Rick Vaicius, director of the Flyway Film Festival, 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 - Anna Treiman's "Cactus" nabbed Best Dramatic, while Mrs. G's "Love, Hugs and Kisses, Sissy Stephanie" won Best Documentary.

"We seemed to really hit our stride this season," said Lisa Vandever, CineKink co-founder and director. "The audience response has been amazing and we're so pleased with the films we were able to present. I did not envy this year's jurors whatsoever."
