Notes from the Sexual Underground

Lisa Vandever isn’t like most people working the sexual underground. For one thing, she came to her role as co-founder and director of the CineKink Film Festival from the world of legit indies.
Vandever isn’t trying to sell you anything. Tickets to Cinekink—which kicks off this coming Tuesday with a party at Remote Lounge before heading to Anthology Film Archives through that Saturday, with an awards ceremony on Sunday evening at a yet undisclosed location—are cheap.

“We don’t have a category for Best Porn,” explains Vandever, “because most porn doesn’t have a narrative. Also, we’ll often see filmmakers in our festival explaining why their films aren’t porn. You can’t easily classify these things. I can’t even get a read on how the mainstream press treats us. With the adult press, there’s some appreciation that someone is recognizing these films as a significant genre. When I’m talking to the mainstream press, I tend to forget how certain things affect people.”
