Play With Me
Thursday, September 11 at 7:30pm
The fourth season of Frameline at the Center continues with an encore screening of the sold out Frameline32 shorts program Play With Me. Frameline is pleased to present this program in celebration of the 25th Anniversary of Folsom Street Fair!
These short films from local filmmakers feature players from the San
Francisco Bay Area BDSM community. Informative yet titillating, they
endeavor to throw open the closet door and allow the vanilla viewer a
peek into BDSM play and relationships.
Educated and articulate,
BDSM practitioners Lorelei Lee and Princess Donna discuss control,
limits and what ultimately got them involved in BDSM in Brian Lilla’s
documenatary Tale of Two Bondage Models, which includes beautiful scenes of rope bondage sure to please newbies and seasoned players alike! In Serving Madame Gina: Powerplay in Relationships,
psychologist Gabriele Hoff explores a dominant-submissive (DS)
relationship, allowing the viewer access to an interpersonal dynamic
rarely seen by those outside the BDSM community as Madame Gina and her
submissive Mercedes discuss the joys and challenges of living 24/7 as
master and slave. A visually stimulating short narrative with a great
soundtrack, Play with Me takes us inside an all-female play party. Lastly, topics of pain, abuse, stereotypes, race and community are broached in BDSM: It’s Not What You Think! Mixing interviews, dramatizations and archival footage, this funny and
educational film picks the brains of various kinksters in order to
debunk some of the myths surrounding BDSM play.
