KINK CRUSADERS Movie, August 15th

On Wednesday, August 15th, 7PM, FilmOut San Diego is going to host a special, just-for-us showing of KINK CRUSADERS at the North Park Birch Theater, which is the story of the International Mr. Leather contest in Chicago. 

This is a rare opportunity to see this film in a theater in San Diego - No other theaters in town will show it. How do I know? The movie's producers told me so. It's a great gesture of support for FilmOut to reach out to us this way. Let's reward their efforts!

If you have even the slightest interest in our sub-culture's history and what drives us along, this is an essential movie. It's best appreciated in a rowdy, lusty and LARGE group of like-minded men.  The last time that we had a special Movie Night, the organizers sold 150% more tickets than they had predicted.

Check out the photo showing just 1/4 of the men who turned out for the movie.

We can EASILY fill the theater this time around. The FMSD community has doubled since then.

Please tell your friends. You DO NOT HAVE TO ADHERE TO A DRESS-CODE, but wear it if ya got it.  Just be fun, playful and horny for kinky men!  Let's have this be a smash-hit, attendance-breaking night.

Here is a review from IMDB:

For those unfamiliar with International Mr. Leather, it as an annual event where literally thousands of Leatherfolk gather every May in Chicago. The centerpiece of the weekend is the International Mister Leather contest, in which men from around the world compete for the chance to promote the Leather Lifestyle (among other activities).

But it wasn't always like this. In a video that is destined to take a place next to the book "25 Years Of Champions," "Kink Crusaders" chronicles the humble beginnings of IML in 1979 (12 contestants from 6 states) to the extravagant pageant that it is today. In 2008, documentarian Mike Skiff travelled to Chicago for the chance to capture the 30th year of IML as it unfolded. So as you would expect, this is the kind of film that is laden with imagery of Homomasculinity at its hottest, with pictures, interviews and event clips documenting every year of International Mr. Leather. (Including a brief but explanatory clip as a postlude from IML 2010.) But once again, I have to repeat. "Kink Crusaders" is much more than a tableaux of hot men in leather. Perspective comes from a rare "Mr Gold Coast Leather" film clip to ongoing interviews with contestants and commentary from Guy Baldwin, founder Chuck Renslow and others (including the odd interlopers who found themselves inside the hotel as the contest was occurring). Mike Skiff and a host of contributors have created a grand history of this culture of leather in this magnificent 90 minute documentary. But if the thought of all those concepts and heavy thinking intimidates you, fear not. There are contest videos, and did I fail to mention that the pictures are hot? If you missed that earlier on, forgive me. I reiterate; the men are HOT. Get "Kink Crusaders" now. It's going to look great on your widescreen.
