Bloomington PRIDE Film Festival Announces 2014 Festival Program

Bloomington PRIDE Film Festival Announces 2014 Festival Program

 

BLOOMINGTON, Ind.: The Bloomington PRIDE Film Festival, approaching its 11^th anniversary, has announced the program of films and performers for the January, 2014 film festival.

 

The annual film festival, which celebrates LGBTQ culture in Bloomington and around the world, will feature 26 films, including four feature-length films and 22 shorts. Movies screened at PRIDE all have content concerning LGBTQ people as well as their families and communities. The 2014 festival has movies from four continents, by professional filmmakers and MFA students alike. The films’ stories cover topics like transgender parenting, bullying, the joys and woes of being single, coming out, HIV/AIDS, cat allergies, and so much more.

 

A diverse screening committee of fifteen volunteers previews and selects films for the festival. This year, the committee sorted through 155 movies, with a majority having arrived by open submission, reflecting on the popularity of the PRIDE Film Festival.

 

“We work hard to make sure films represent all kinds of people and issues among the LGBTQ community,” said the festival’s co-director, Abby Henkel. “There’s not just one way to be gay, bisexual, queer, etc., and we are proud to offer a festival program as diverse as the community we aim to serve and celebrate.”

 

With so much to be proud of regarding LGBTQ rights -- Indiana University and the Bloomington City Council both joined the Freedom Indiana coalition opposing HJR6, and the IU GLBT Alumni Association recently announced a new scholarship fund – PRIDE’s place in the Bloomington community has never been more prominent. Nationally, more and more states are adopting marriage equality, and the U.S. Senate achieved bipartisan support for a ban on workplace discrimination. Coming on the heels of a world-famous mass same-sex wedding blessed by Mayor Mark Kruzan at the 2013 festival, PRIDE planners assure fans that the 2014 festival will be at least as thrilling as the last.

 

Bloomington PRIDE is supported by Markey’s Rental and Staging, Jeff Franklin/FC Tucker, Visit Bloomington, Oliver Winery, Jill Reitmeyer/The Dental Care Center, Lisa Baker DDS, SIWY Plastic Surgery, the IU GLBT Alumni Association, The Word, and the Bloomington Arts Commission. You can hear more about PRIDE on bloomingOUT Radio on WFHB FM, December 19 at 6pm.

 

Mission: Through community-based events and services, Bloomington PRIDE celebrates queer arts, creates safe and inclusive spaces, and challenges stereotypes to enrich LGBTQA community culture.

Former CMCL Major Returns to IU Cinema to Screen Her Film

I'm hoping you can pass the word to the Communciations and Culture folks that Hannah Fidell is coming to IU Cinema this week to screen her film A Teacher and to participate in a Jorgensen Guest Filmmaker Lecture. Hannah was a CMCL major at IUB.

It would be so great to have a lively turnout of students, staff, and faculty (and the community at large) to welcome her back and celebrate with her.

Another IU alum (from Theatre & Drama) - Eliza Hittman - will be here as well with her film It Felt Like Love.

A Teacher

• 2013
• Directed By: Hannah Fidell
• 
• Drama
• 100 Minutes

1. Thursday, December 5, 2013 6:30 p.m.
2. Sunday, December 8, 2013 6:30 p.m.

Part psychological thriller and part provocative character study, A Teacher explores the unraveling of a young high school teacher, Diana (Lindsay Burdge), after she begins an affair with one of her teenage students. What starts as a seemingly innocent fling becomes increasingly complex and dangerous as the beautiful and confident Diana gets fully consumed by her emotions, crossing boundaries and acting out in progressively startling ways. Lindsay Burdge delivers a deeply compelling and seamlessly naturalistic performance that brings us into the mind of an adult driven to taboo against her better judgment. (2K DCP presentation)

Director Hannah Fidell is scheduled to be present.Hannah Fidell is a director/writer/producer based in Brooklyn, NY. Recently named to Filmmaker Magazine’s annual ‘25 New Faces of Independent Film’ list, Hannah had two short films, The Gathering Squall and Man & Gun played at SXSW in 2012. In May, Hannah attended the Champs-Elysees Film Festival where A Teacher was awarded the U.S. In-Progress Grand Prize. Hannah is also an alumna of Indiana University.

BLOOMINGTON CELEBRATES NATIONAL COMING OUT DAY

Nzingha Kendall, Programming Assistant, Black Film Center/Archive: nskendal@umail.iu.edu
Brian Graney, Archivist, Black Film Center/Archive: bpgraney@indiana.edu

Bloomington, Ind.: In celebration of National Coming Out Day on October 11, the Black Film Center/Archive of Indiana University, several other IU departments, and Bloomington PRIDE are co-sponsoring a special free film screening at the Indiana University Cinema. The program of contemporary short films comes at a time when Indiana’s LGBTQ community fights HJR6, the proposed constitutional amendment that seeks to narrowly define marriage in the state as discriminatory and exclusive.

National Coming Out Day is an international celebration and observance of individuals who publicly identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer. LGBTQ people and allies will celebrate diversity, acceptance, and equality on Friday, October 11. Bloomington, a city known for being progressive and supportive of LGBTQ individuals, recently celebrated a mass same-sex wedding presided by Mayor Mark Kruzan, members of the City Council, and local clergy. The local celebration will include this event at the IU Cinema.

Featuring innovative work by a diverse group of media artists, Exploding Lineage! Queer of Color Histories in Experimental Media, explores the complexities of identity construction in African, Asian, and Latin queer diasporas. The program, which premiered in 2012 at the 25th MIX NYC festival, includes KB Boyce’s Bulldagger Women and Sissy Men, a tribute to queer artists of the Harlem Renaissance, and Celeste Chan’s Bloodlines, a lyrical recognition of Chinese immigrants detained on Angel Island due to the Chinese Exclusion Act.

The free screening of Exploding Lineage! will take place October 11, 2013 at 6:30 pm at the IU Cinema as part of its ongoing Underground Film series. Immediately following will be an open discussion with the program’s curators, KB Boyce and Celeste Chan. Boyce and Chan founded Queer Rebels in 2008 to showcase queer artists of color, connect generations, and honor our histories with art for the future.

The Exploding Lineage! event is presented by the Black Film Center/Archive and IU Cinema; and co-sponsored by Bloomington PRIDE, the East Asian Studies Center, the Center for the Study of Global Change, the Department of African American and African Diaspora Studies, Department of American Studies, Department of Communication and Culture, Department of Gender Studies, Film and Media Studies program, and GLBT Student Support Services.

Aug.1st screening at MCPL: "Road Comics"

Documentary Film Screening, free and open to the public!:

Road Comics: Big Work on Small Stages (2012, 53 min)

Thursday, August 1^st, 7pm

Monroe County Public Library Auditorium

“Road Comics: Big Work on Small Stages” is a documentary film that follows the creative brilliance of three stand-up comedians working the comedy club circuit in middle America, proving that comedic talent is not exclusively a coastal media commodity. Local audiences across the Midwest and South appreciate the humor these comics draw out of strip malls, fast food, and the slow quirkiness of lives not made for TV. Producer and IU professor Susan Seizer (Communication & Culture) follows Stewart Huff, Tim Northern, and Kristin Key as they craft nightly work out of daily life, demonstrating the give-and-take with live audiences that transforms a night out into performance art. The film also offers a glimpse into the comedy club business, interviewing club owners about the ins and outs of regional entertainment industries. Poignant and laugh-out-loud funny, Road Comics: Big Work on Small Stages is a work of art about the art of work. 

http://www.roadcomicsmovie.com/

 Q&A with producer Susan Seizer will follow the screening

 *Parental Advisory: this film contains adult language that might not be appropriate for children under the age of 16.

Upcoming Milestone Film Series

The Black Film Center/Archive is co-sponsoring the upcoming Milestone Film Series events. Please distribute this email to interested parties. 

New Restorations from Milestone Films
Since 1990, Milestone Films has been involved in the restoration and distribution of groundbreaking, artistically and culturally significant films. Over the course of two days, Milestone Films founder Dennis Doros will present three films: Shirley Clarke's Portrait of Jason and two films by Kathleen Collins, as well as give a lecture. The lecture and all screenings take place at IU Cinema. The lecture and screenings are free, but ticketed.

Lost Films of Kathleen Collins
Thursday - March 21 - 7:00 PM
At the time of her death in 1988, Kathleen Collins was just 46 years old, but already an internationally renowned playwright, a beloved professor and a successful independent filmmaker. After nearly 30 years of being out of circulation, Milestone Films has digitally restored her two films from original camera negatives to look and sound as fresh, bracing and complex as they did when they were made.

The Cruz Brothers and Miss Malloy (1980) is a short story of three Puerto Rican brothers scraping by while contending with the ghost of their dead father.

Losing Ground (1982), one of the very first fictional features by an African-American woman filmmaker, is the story of a black philosophy professor whose artist husband rents a summer country house to celebrate a museum sale. Their idyll summer challenges their relationship as they struggle to find ecstatic experience, both intellectually and emotionally. Dennis Doros is scheduled to be present. (HD Cam presentation, 140 Minutes total, Not Rated)

Jorgensen Lecture: Dennis Doros
Friday - March 22 - 3:00 PM
Dennis Doros will deliver his lecture titled Where’s Shirley: The Restoration of Portrait of Jason, which he presented earlier in the year at the Berlin International Film Festival. (70 min.)

Portrait of Jason (1967) Directed by Shirley Clarke
Friday - March 22 - 6:30 PM
Shirley Clarke’s fascinating character study of self-proclaimed hustler Jason Holliday, evades easy categorization. On the surface, it is a series of 16mm film reels in which the title character provides a vivid verbal account of his life. It is, however, neither straightforward cinema vérité nor traditional documentary. Instead, it lies between a subtle interview, a brilliant monologue, and record of performance that deals head-on with issues of documentary construction. Recently restored by Milestone Films, Portrait of Jason deserves to become a canonical film alongside the work of other luminaries like Andy Warhol and Jonas Mekas. Dennis Doros is scheduled to be present. (HD Cam, 105 min., Not Rated)

DOUBLE EXPOSURE AT THE IU CINEMA THIS SUNDAY MARCH 3 AT 6:30PM

DOUBLE EXPOSURE AT THE IU CINEMA THIS SUNDAY MARCH 3 AT 6:30PM

Love original film? Crazy for new music? Then be sure to check out "Double Exposure," an annual project that pairs composition students from the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music with IU film students.

Ten students created original films as part of the project, which will premiere at 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, March 3, at IU Cinema. The project also features film scores written by student composers, which will be performed by a live ensemble as part of Sunday's premiere.

 

Check out the trailer, a short experimental film by our own Javier Ramirez, with music by Nick Cline, masters student in composition at the Jacobs School of Music.  The film uses the technique of contact printing, which exposes footage repeatedly in the darkroom.

The program is a collaboration of CMCL, Jacobs School of Music, the Student Composers Association, and  the IU Cinema

IU Cinema Free Advanced Screening

I'm an intern at the IU Cinema, and we are showing a FREE Advanced Screening of the film "21 and Over" TODAY, FEBRUARY 21st at 9:30pm.  The screening is free, but event passes are required through http://www.gofobo.com/rsvp using the passcode: IUFILMJN5S

I know that this film does not necessarily fit our usual repertoire here at the IU Cinema, but a free preview screening can be exciting, especially for the undergraduate audience.  It is also important to maintain a positive relationship with GoFoBo, through which we have been able to provide Advanced Screenings in the past and would like to continue providing free screenings in the future.

That being said, I would greatly appreciate if you could forward this out to the rest of the faculty and students in the Communication and Culture Department to help us spread the word.  Feel free to also share this information with any other groups or organizations that you think may be interested!

Thank you for your time,

Black History Month film screening: AT THE RIVER I STAND

Black History Month film screening: AT THE RIVER I STAND

Wednesday, February 13, 7:00 PM

at the Black Film Center/Archive, Wells Library, Room 044B

 

Associate Professor of History Alex Lichtenstein will introduce the film and lead a discussion following the screening.

 

Memphis, Spring 1968 marked the dramatic climax of the Civil Rights movement. AT THE RIVER I STAND skillfully reconstructs the two eventful months that transformed a strike by Memphis sanitation workers into a national conflagration, and disentangles the complex historical forces that came together with the inevitability of tragedy at the death of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

This documentary brings into sharp relief issues that have only become more urgent in the intervening years: the connection between economic and civil rights, debates over strategies for change, the demand for full inclusion of African Americans in American life and the fight for dignity for public employees and all working people.

 

"One of the most clearheaded, evenhanded documentaries about the civil rights movement you'll ever see, and a piece of gripping story-telling as well." -Dallas Observer

Erik Barnouw Award Recipient, Best Documentary, Organization of American Historians

 

This free screening is part of the Black History Month series at the Black Film Center/Archive, co-sponsored by the Department of African American and African Diaspora Studies, the Department of History, and the Black Law Students Association.

Black History Month Film Screenings

In celebration of Black History Month the Black Film Center/Archive (BFC/A) along with the Department of African American and African Diaspora Studies, the Department of History, and the Black Law Students Association are hosting a series of free screenings at the BFC/A in Wells Library.

A. Philip Randolph For Jobs and Freedom (1996) will screen on February 6 at 7pm

At The River I Stand (1993) will screen on February 13 at 7pm

The Black Press: Soldiers Without Swords (1998) will screen on February 20 at 7pm

Struggles in Steel (1996) will screen on February 27 at 7pm

Petzold's 'Barbara' at IU Cinema

Thursday through Sunday next week (February 7-10), the IU Cinema is showing Christian Petzold’s latest, the GDR drama ‘Barbara.’ The film has gotten quite some attention also internationally and, I believe, has by now become the half-official successor of both Good Bye, Lenin! and The Lives of Others – a really interesting turn in Germany’s public memory of East German socialism as well as another twist in Petzold’s ever-evolving oeuvre. I will be doing a brief intro and q+a on Sunday, but the film in itself is definitively worth seeing, too, on any of the nights!

“Road Comics: Big Work on Small Stages”  is a documentary that follows the creative brilliance of three stand-up comedians working the comedy club circuit in middle America.

Both smart and funny, Road Comics traces humor on the ground in what are too often considered the “flyover zones” of middle America.

The programs were curated from student work in the Department of Communication and Culture, Department of Telecommunications, School of Fine Arts and School of Journalism.

Student Films at the IU Cinema

Homegrown Hoosier talent will be on display during "Made in Indiana," a four-day film series hosted in Bloomington at Indiana University Cinema.

The series kicks off April 30 with the world premiere of "Mudcity," a 35-minute film written and directed by IU student Curtis Miller. The series also features several programs of film shorts, 3D films and an action-adventure film adapting acclaimed Japanese filmmaker Akira Kurosawa's "Seven Samurai" into a modern-day tale. All were made by Indiana filmmakers, including current and former IU students.

"The 'Made in Indiana' series devotes a whole week to the creative work being done in and around our community," said Susanne Schwibs, a lecturer in IU College of Arts and Sciences' Department of Communication and Culture who, along with associate professor Joan Hawkins, helped mentor Miller's work. "I cannot adequately express how wonderful this is for filmmakers, students, faculty and audiences alike. It not only gives aspiring artists a chance to screen their work in one of the best cinemas in the country, it also shows moviegoers the great range and depth of creative activity close to home, and it will likely inspire further filmmaking endeavors."

An experimental road movie shot in 8mm film, "Mudcity" is the story of a young vagabond who finds a box of photographs and cassette tapes in a recently deceased woman's home and decides to seek out the woman's son. Produced by Miller as part of his honors thesis, "Mudcity" represents a search for meaning when signs suggest life has become redundant.

"This series continues our short tradition of dedicating time in our schedule to highlight student work," IU Cinema director Jon Vickers said. "We have enthusiastically expanded the series this semester to showcase some of the work from Bloomington's vibrant film community. Two nights were curated by the Bloomington chapter of the Indiana Filmmakers Network."

Indiana Filmmakers Network member Chris Eller said several members solicited and screened films for inclusion in the series.

"The results are a wide variety of films from an array of genres and lengths that were brought together to build the program for the event," he said. "It's a great opportunity for the local chapter of the Indiana Filmmakers Network."

The "Made in Indiana" series features:

• 7 p.m. April 30: World premiere of "Mudcity."
• 6:30 p.m. May 1: "3D Student Film Showcase," which highlights the artistry, creativity and technical accomplishments of IU faculty, staff and students.
• 9:30 p.m., May 1: "Made in Bloomington: Program 1," featuring four short films curated by the Bloomington chapter of the Indiana Filmmakers Network, including a horror flick involving a security salesman who breaks into people's homes so they'll sign up for his service and "Nathan and the Luthier," which premiered in 2011 to a sold-out house at IU Cinema.
• 6:30 p.m. May 2: "Student Short Film: Program 1," which includes student films curated from work produced in various IU departments.
• 9:30 p.m. May 2: "Made in Bloomington: Program 2," featuring four short films curated by the Bloomington chapter of the Indiana Filmmakers Network, including a look at public art in Bloomington and "Eight Wheels of Death," a production featuring Bloomington's own Bleeding Heartland Rollergirls that claims to be the "world's first roller derby zombie romantic comedy."
• 6:30 p.m. May 3: "Student Short Film: Program 2," featuring student films curated from work produced in various IU departments, including three documentaries by students of Department of Telecommunications professor Ron Osgood with topics such as ghost stories and a behind-the-scenes look at Hoosier flea markets.
• 9:30 p.m. May 3: "Student Seven," which follows seven students who bring their martial arts skills together to compete for resources in an alternate-reality university setting.

Want to go?
No tickets are needed for the world premiere of "Mudcity." Free tickets for other films in the series can be obtained at the IU Auditorium Box Office from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, or 30 minutes before each screening at IU Cinema. Tickets can be obtained online here.

From Susanne Schwibs:

CMCL students are represented almost every night but most especially Monday April 30 with the premiere of Mudcity, and May 2 with the 6:30pm student short film showcase.  Please note that all films you nominated from the CMCL classes (including the documentary shorts) will be in the May 2nd screening, not the May 3 screening, which has three 30-minute docs by Ron Osgood's class.  May 2nd will run a bit longer and will have fiction and non-fiction non-fiction, music video from CMCL, Journalism, Fine Arts and Telecomm--the whole works.

[Description: Still image from the film Secrecy]

In a single recent year the U.S. classified about five times as many pages as were added to the Library of Congress. We live in a world where the production of secret knowledge dwarfs the production of open knowledge. Depending on whom you ask, government secrecy is either the key to victory in our struggle against terrorism, or our Achilles'

heel. But is so much secrecy a bad thing? This film explores the vast, invisible world of government secrecy, and the tensions between our safety as a nation and our ability to function as a democracy. (HD Cam
