I'm really excited about August, this screening and some hot Chicago weather, because soon enough.. it will be cold again.
Oh and BTW in case you are interested , here are some details about my super rad partners Open TV and Collected Voices:
About Opentv:Open TV is a platform for indie arts and artists. We incubate
art and artists commercial television studios and networks cannot develop
consistently. We believe television is an art but must also showcase different
types of art outside of the competition format we see on reality TV. We believe
television must be open to diverse identities and their experiences, so we are
committed to developing work from artists most often left out of commercial
production: queer, trans, and cis-women and people of color. All Open TV
artists keep their intellectual property and distribution agreements are
non-exclusive.
About Collected Voices:Collected Voices centers around original ethnographic works that
explore the intersection of race, age, class, gender, and sexuality within
Chicago society. Explored through short and feature length films from Chicago
based artists, these stories capture the voices of individuals and communities.
Thematic screenings held during October will create a space for viewing and
discussion of narratives from underrepresented ethnic and cultural groups;
often excluded from major theatrical & digital release. These films are
curated to not only highlight the work of Chicago based filmmakers, but expand
our understanding of ethnography, and the diverse experiences of Chicago
citizens.
I'm excited to see what ya'll have been making so thanks in advance for submitting, and thank you for spreading the word.
