Feminist Border Arts Film Festival
The Feminist Border Arts Film Festival (FBAFF & FBA25) is proud to celebrate its 10th season and anniversary in 2025. This year, our decade-long theme, "Film and Media Arts: Crafting New Futures," invites us to explore how creative expression can shape and reimagine the world we strive to build. Join us this Pride, on June 6-7, 2025, at the University Art Museum on the campus of New Mexico State University in Las Cruces, just forty miles from El Paso, TX, Ciudad Juárez, and the U.S.-Mexico border. Our 2nd Annual Zine Fest (FBAZF) will run concurrently on June 7. Over the past decade, FBAFF has established itself as an important platform for socially transformative work, rooted in the belief that film, media, and zines are powerful catalysts for change and community building. Our curation emphasizes not just content but also form, inviting works that explore innovative storytelling techniques. We care not only about what is being told but also about how it's being told, to whom, and by whom, all with the purpose of practicing feminist curiosity, fostering collective insight, and forming third or remixed space. Submission Process: FBA25 welcomes submissions from students, independent creators, collaborators, scholar-artists, and seasoned filmmakers. This two-day festival and exhibition interrogates and expands upon conventional narratives relating to women, gender, LGBTQ+ communities, BIPOC, and positive social change. Through film, digital projects, and media, we foster critical engagement that spans both U.S. and global contexts. We seek submissions that engage critically with social issues, push boundaries in storytelling, and envision radical possibilities through innovative and creative expression. We welcome submissions across genres, including narrative, documentary, experimental, and animated films that challenge the norms of storytelling, representation, and social engagement. The festival defines "feminist border arts" as a practice that challenges the limits of conventional representation through telling stories from the edge—threshold visions from the margins that create new ways of understanding and transmit underrepresented ways of knowing. Selected pieces revive the promise of cinema, the possibility of film and media arts to open minds, create new vistas, and challenge dehumanizing forms of representation.

CineKink
An organization dedicated to the recognition and encouragement of sex-positive and kink-friendly depictions in film and television, CineKink is seeking films and videos that explore and celebrate the wide diversity of sexuality for our annual NYC-based festival and screening tour. Returning after a pandemic-inspired hiatus, we're sticking our toes back out into the festival world, as we celebrate our 19th anniversary in 2022! Currently planned for May 2022, the specially-curated CineKink NYC will include a short film competition, audience choice awards and an adult industry showcase, with a national screening tour to follow. Our hope is to offer in-person festivities and screenings, as long as it's possible to do so safely and affordably, enhanced by virtual presentations to expand our offerings. Cutting across orientations, topics covered at CineKink have included — but are by no means limited to — BDSM, leather and fetish, swinging, non-monogamy and polyamory, roleplay and gender bending, sex work and sex geekery. We're looking to blur some boundaries and will be considering offerings of any length and genre drawn from both Hollywood and beyond, with works ranging from documentary to drama, camp comedy to artsy experimental, mildly spicy to quite explicit — and everything in between. Basically, as long as it involves consenting adults, just about anything celebrating sex as a right of self expression is fair game. (Far be it from us to define "kink" — if you think your work might make sense in this context, do send it along. Nonetheless, please read ALL guidelines before submitting, and make sure your work fits with our sex-focused niche!!)
