“Who hasn’t had a threesome that started like this?”

Rope goddess, proud fem daddy, and poly household leader Briska returns to The YKF Cinema Show for a raw, joyful, and explicit deep dive into John Cameron Mitchell’s cult classic SHORTBUS — the 2006 NYC erotic masterpiece packed with unsimulated sex, chaotic orgies, queer healing, and post-9/11 messiness. Briska reveals how this film literally changed her life as a young sexual health advocate, why it still hits different 20 years later, and how it mirrors real kink community vibes — the good, the messy, the patriotic ass-singing, and everything in between. Consent is sexy. Trauma dumping at sex parties. Dominatrix real talk. Poly negotiations. Vibrating eggs gone wrong. We discuss why this unapologetically raw indie film remains a gateway AND provocation for the kink & queer community.

“Short Bus fundamentally changed my life.”
