Artist highlight from POETIC MOVEMENTS: Selected works from Adele Friedman & Jean Sousa, Friday 5/10 @ 7 PM - As part of @chicagofilmmakers 50th Anniversary screening series! This two-person show celebrates the works of Jean Sousa (@jeansousart) and Adele Friedman, two of the most important Chicago-based experimental filmmakers of the last 50 years, whose enduring commitment to the art form continues today. 
 Programmed works of Jean Sousa: PATTERN IMPULSE (1979) | 16mm | 3 Min TODAY IS SUNDAY (1987) | 16mm | 18 Min ALVARO (2016) | Digital | 7 Min MEMENTO (2012) | Digital | 5 Min THE LOSING BATTLE (2019) | Digital | 5 Min THE MERMAID (2020) | Digital | 8 Min LIKE ATTRACTS LIKE (2020) | Digital | 1 Min Jean Sousa moved from the east coast to Chicago in the mid-70’s and became the first graduate student in Performance at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC). While there she was a Teaching Assistant in performance while taking classes in the film department and a seminar with Stan Brakhage. She used performance in her films and frequently performed for the camera. Sousa’s films reveal a concern with the physical properties of the medium, aspects of efeminism, abstract narrative, and performance. 🎟️ Link in bio for tickets & more info 🎟️ . . . #chicagofilmmakers #50thAnniversary #PoeticMovements #ExperimentalFilmmakers #AdeleFriedman #JeanSousa #ChicagoArtScene #FilmScreening #ExperimentalFilm #avantgarde #chicago #ChicagoFilmHistory #CinematicExperience #FilmFestival #FilmAppreciation #saic #FilmCulture #performance #ExperimentalCinema #cinema #ArtisticLegacy #Filmography #ChicagoArtists #FilmEvent #FilmCommunity #FilmLovers #FilmHistory #independentfilm

Please join us for an inspiring night of fundraising, story-telling, and re-imagining a world where the lives of three men were never taken. "The Great Man Theory of Black History" is a three-part documentary film series of the speculative historical genre that examines the lives of three transformative Black leaders of the 20th Century. It then paints a picture of what the world might look like had their assassinations not occurred. This picture painted by the series is not solely of a world that could have been, but of one that can still be. "The Great Man Theory of Black History" reminds us that the dreams of fallen heroes need not die with them. Cooperation, peace, and unity are worthy causes to struggle for in any era. #blackhistory #blackhistoryyoudidntlearninschool #Panafricanism #PanAfricanFilmFestival #afrocentric #afrocentricart #africanfilm #AfricanFilmMakers #africanhistory #Burundi #congo #Lumumba #blackpanthersparty #FredHampton #chicagofilmmakers

How far evolution has taken us…My first experience filming on full LED wall volume at @smashvirtualstudios which, to my fellow filmmakers, I highly recommend checking out!!!Nowadays technological progress allows us to be anywhere we want in seconds, changing environments, the time of the day, backgrounds, lighting sources, objects, animations and effects. One of the best experiences I have had in 17 years of working in video production. Thank you to Sam Sorich for bringing me onto this project. #chicago #chicagofilm #chicagofilmmaker #chicagofilmproduction #virtualproduction #cameraoperator #ledwall #filmdirector #filmmaker #comingsoon #chicagofilmmakers #dırectorofphotography #filmfestival #chicagovideographer #chicagomoviescreening #cinematographer #videoproducer #moviemaking #film #promovideo #cinematography #showreel #videoeditor #filmstudio #studio #chicagoactor #filmproductiondesign

Mark your calendars! The Independent Film Association Chicago (@ifachicago ) has been a HUGE part of getting our film Fortified made! On Wednesday, May 15th at 6:00 PM, they are putting on a Fiscal Sponsorship Showcase, in which participants are able to pitch or share updates about their works-in-progress…including our film! Those in attendance will get the chance to ask questions and socialize with the participants, as well as donate to any of the projects they’d like. The Fortified Team will be presenting as we could still use some funds to wrap up post-production! All donations are tax deductible, and if you come on by you’ll also get to hear from some filmmaking professionals! It’s going to be a very cool evening. We’d love to see you come out and support our film! NOTE: if you do purchase tickets, write our film’s name “Fortified” when prompted as those tix sales will also go to support us. We will put the link in our bio! Thank you!!! #independentfilm #chicagoindependentfilm #chicagofilm #chicagofilmmakers #chicagofilmmaker #ifachicago #fortifiedfilmsllc

Artist highlight from POETIC MOVEMENTS: Selected works from Adele Friedman & Jean Sousa, Friday 5/10 @ 7 PM - As part of @chicagofilmmakers 50th Anniversary screening series! This two-person show celebrates the works of Jean Sousa and Adele Friedman, two of the most important Chicago-based experimental filmmakers of the last 50 years, whose enduring commitment to the art form continues today. Programmed works of Adele Friedman:
 TONY (1979) | B&W, Silent 16mm | USA | 7 Min UNTITLED II (1983) | B&W, Silent 16mm | USA | 7 Min ROBERT’S PLACE (2004) | B&W, Silent 16mm | USA | 6 Min CHRISTIAN AND MICHAEL (2006) | Color, Silent 16mm | Australia/USA | 8 Min FRANÇOIS: A PLACE OF TIME (2015) | Color, Silent 16mm | France/USA | 12 Min RED CLOUD (2016) | B&W, Silent 16mm | USA | 5 Min Adele Friedman, originally from Chicago, received her M.F.A. in Film from the School of The Art Institute of Chicago (@saicpics) “For more than four decades, Adele Friedman has been pursuing her original cinematic vision with real integrity. One aspect of the richness of her films results from each work’s multi-layered core. She observes humans and settings with a certain observational impassivity; her first-person hand-held cinematography seeks to capture whatever is present, whatever occurs.” - Fred Camper Link in bio for tickets & more info . . . #chicagofilmmakers #50thAnniversary #PoeticMovements #ExperimentalFilmmakers #AdeleFriedman #JeanSousa #ChicagoArtScene #FilmScreening #ExperimentalFilm #avantgarde #chicago #ChicagoFilmHistory #CinematicExperience #FilmFestival #FilmAppreciation #saic #FilmCulture #portraits #ExperimentalCinema #cinema #ArtisticLegacy #Filmography #ChicagoArtists #FilmEvent #FilmCommunity #FilmLovers #FilmHistory #independentfilm

Take a trip to WALKERVILLE: A STATE OF MIND by Jon Jost, Saturday 5/11 @ 7 PM! A fictional/documentary tone-poem, making for a kind of portrait of the town of Walkerville, Montana, and of the lead actor, Gary Winterholler, who had suffered a severe stroke several years earlier and was in a process of recuperation. There is no “story” or “narrative”, rather a kind of atmosphere and ambience in which a feeling for the town and its present and former inhabitants, and compassion for Gary, are generated by means more akin to music and poetry than narrative/story-telling. There will be a post-screening Q&A led by the director himself! 🎟️ Link in bio for tickets & more info 🎟️ . . . #chicagofilmmakers #Walkerville #Montana #JonJost #GaryWinterholler #Documentary #Poetry #Atmosphere #AmbientCinema #Filmmaking #FilmPortrait #ArtisticExpression #Ambience #cinema #CreativeExpression #FilmCulture #experimental #FilmAppreciation #chicago #FilmCommunity #CinematicJourney #film #indiefilm #FilmLovers #filmscreening #filmdirector #ExperimentalCinema #chicagoevents #independentfilm #filmdiscussion

Evergreen U Premiere Photo Dump Pt. 2 🎬 These photos are prayers manifested in real time🙏🏽. I asked God to surround me with talented, like minded individuals who would genuinely love and care for me, where we work together and each will succeed. Not only that, but I also asked God to change my heart, ways and thoughts so that I can be open to receiving these blessings when they arose🙌🏽. Honestly, I didn’t expect my prayers to be answered so quickly 😅, nor did I imagine it to look like this …. It’s BETTER than what I had in mind and all I can do is be grateful and continue to acknowledge God every time and ALL of the time along the way. If you are reading this, I am speaking peace, abundance and joy over you and I pray that God will put the same big smile on your face as he did with mines❤️ . Love, Harley ✨ Proverbs 27:17 As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. 💡 #shortfilm #shortfilms #acting #actress #chicagostate #film #filmandmedia #media #movie #chicagofilmmakers #chicagodirectors #chicagoactress #motivationalpost #motivation

Artist highlight from POETIC MOVEMENTS: Selected works from Adele Friedman & Jean Sousa, Friday 5/10 @ 7 PM - As part of @chicagofilmmakers 50th Anniversary screening series! This two-person show celebrates the works of Jean Sousa (@jeansousart) and Adele Friedman, two of the most important Chicago-based experimental filmmakers of the last 50 years, whose enduring commitment to the art form continues today.

While there she was a Teaching Assistant in performance while taking classes in the film department and a seminar with Stan Brakhage. She used performance in her films and frequently performed for the camera. Sousa’s films reveal a concern with the physical properties of the medium, aspects of efeminism, abstract narrative, and performance.

One aspect of the richness of her films results from each work’s multi-layered core. She observes humans and settings with a certain observational impassivity; her first-person hand-held cinematography seeks to capture whatever is present, whatever occurs.” - Fred Camper 🎟️ Link in bio for tickets & more info 🎟️ . . . #chicagofilmmakers #50thAnniversary #PoeticMovements #ExperimentalFilmmakers #AdeleFriedman #JeanSousa #ChicagoArtScene #FilmScreening #ExperimentalFilm #avantgarde #chicago #ChicagoFilmHistory #chicagoevents #CinematicExperience #FilmFestival #FilmAppreciation #saic #FilmCulture #portraits #ExperimentalCinema #cinema #ArtisticLegacy #Filmography #ChicagoArtists #FilmEvent #FilmCommunity #FilmLovers #FilmHistory #independentfilm
