Perusing the lineup for the 2008 Cinekink Film Festival––Lisa Vandever’s annual celebration of sex, film and sex in film, which gets underway later this month in the East Village––I came across a title that looked familiar. I about Anna Biller’s Viva when it played the New York Underground Film Festival last year, but ended up not being able to see it. Judging by the above trailer, it’s a dead-on satire of the type of 70s sexploitation, falling somewhere between total psychedelic freak-out and semi-narrative porn. And Biller, who has a Masters degree from Cal Arts, says Viva is in part a reaction to contemporary romantic comedies, which makes it sound even better.

Cinekink begins on February 26. If you’re going to attend, you can track films and create your personal schedule at B-Side.
