  • The Watermelon Woman (Cheryl Dunye, 1997; 90 Minutes)
    MALS 5800 Contemporary Cinema Studies/Bonner The Watermelon Woman (Cheryl Dunye, 1997; 90 minutes) Writer: Cheryl Dunye Editor: Annie Taylor Producers: Barry Simar, Alexandra Juhasz Original score: Paul Shapiro Cinematography: Michelle Crenshaw Abstract (from box cover): Set in Philadelphia, The Watermelon Woman is the story of Cheryl, a twenty-something black lesbian struggling to make a documentary about Fae Richards, a beautiful and elusive 1930s black film actress, popularly know as "The Watermelon Woman." While uncovering the meaning of the Watermelon Woman's life, Cheryl experiences a total upheaval in her own personal life. Her love affair with Diana, a beautiful white woman, and her interactions with the gay and black communities are subject to the comic yet biting criticism of her best friend Tamara. Meanwhile, each answer Cheryl discovers about the Watermelon Woman evokes a flurry of new questions about herself and her own future. At the film’s conclusion, the Watermelon Woman is clearly a metaphor for Cheryl's search for identity, community, and love. Cast: Cheryl (Cheryl Dunye) Shirley (Cheryl Clarke) Diana (Guinevere Turner) Mrs Dunye (Irene Dunye) Tamara (Valarie Walker) Lee (Brian Freeman) Herself (Camille Paglia) Volunteer (Toshi Reaagon) Fae Richards (Lisa Marie Bronson) Volunteer (Sarah Schulman) Questions for Discussion: 1. How is Dunye using direct address here? Does it differ from its use in other films we’ve studied? And if so, how? 2. How does The Watermelon Woman combine aspects of both documentary and narrative filmmaking? Why does Dunye select these modes for her film, and what are the effects for the spectator? 3.

  • HJR 23.1 Sadoff
    38 The Henry James Review Appeals to Incalculability: Sex, Costume Drama, and The Golden Bowl By Dianne F. Sadoff, Miami University Sex is the last taboo in film. —Catherine Breillat Today’s “meat movie” is tomorrow’s blockbuster. —Carol J. Clover When it was released in May 2001, James Ivory’s film of Henry James’s final masterpiece, The Golden Bowl, received decidedly mixed reviews. Kevin Thomas calls it a “triumph”; Stephen Holden, “handsome, faithful, and intelligent” yet “emotionally distanced.” Given the successful—if not blockbuster—run of 1990s James movies—Jane Campion’s The Portrait of a Lady (1996), Agniezka Holland’s Washington Square (1997), and Iain Softley’s The Wings of the Dove (1997)—the reviewers, as well as the fans, must have anticipated praising The Golden Bowl. Yet the film opened in “selected cities,” as the New York Times movie ads noted; after New York and Los Angeles, it showed in university towns and large urban areas but not “at a theater near you” or at “theaters everywhere.” Never mind, however, for the Merchant Ivory film never intended to be popular with the masses. Seeking a middlebrow audience of upper-middle-class spectators and generally intelligent filmgoers, The Golden Bowl aimed to portray an English cultural heritage attractive to Anglo-bibliophiles. James’s faux British novel, however, is paradoxically peopled with foreigners: American upwardly mobile usurpers, an impoverished Italian prince, and a social-climbing but shabby ex- New York yentl. Yet James’s ironic portrait of this expatriate culture, whose characters seek only to imitate their Brit betters—if not in terms of wealth and luxury, at least in social charm and importance—failed to seem relevant to viewers The Henry James Review 23 (2002): 38–52.

  • Catalogue of Photographs of Performers at the Embassy Theatre
    Catalogue of Photographs of Performers and Shows in the Archives of the Embassy Theatre Foundation The archives of the Embassy Theatre Foundation hold more than 3000 artifacts, including more than 600 photographs of vaudevillians inscribed to Bud Berger (long-time stage man- ager at the Embassy Theatre, known as the Emboyd until 1952); more than 300 posters, playbills, programs, stools, and even guitars signed by the stars and casts of shows that have played at the Embassy Theatre over the past forty years, rang- ing from classic and current Broadway shows to acrobatic groups, choral ensembles, dance shows, ballet, stand-up comedians, rock bands, country singers, travel films, silent films, theatre organists, and so on; and hundreds of publicity photographs of performers, shows, and events at the theatre, primarily from the period following the establishment of the Embassy Theatre Foundation and its rescue of the theatre from the wrecking ball in 1975; and a nearly complete run of the journal of the American Theatre Organ Society. The archive is now almost fully catalogued and preserved in archival housing. Earlier excerpts from the catalogue (available on the Archives page of the Embassy Theatre’s web site) cover the photographs inscribed to Bud Berger and the posters, playbills, programs, stools, and so on from later shows at the Embassy. This is the third excerpt, covering the public- ity photographs of the last forty-five years and a few photographs of earlier events, Bud Berger, and other members of the stage crew.

Dell Katherine “Kit” Duffy Adrienne J. Goodman Marie J. Kuda Mary D. Powers 2 3 4 CHICAGO LGBT HALL OF FAME The Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame (formerly the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame) is both a historic event and an exhibit. Through the Hall of Fame, residents of Chicago and the world are made aware of the contributions of Chicago’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) communities and the communities’ efforts to eradicate bias and discrimination. With the support of the City of Chicago Commission on Human Relations, its Advisory Council on Gay and Lesbian Issues (later the Advisory Council on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Issues) established the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame (changed to the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame in 2015) in June 1991. The inaugural induction ceremony took place during Pride Week at City Hall, hosted by Mayor Richard M. Daley. This was the first event of its kind in the country. Today, after the advisory council’s abolition and in partnership with the City, the Hall of Fame is in the custody of Friends of the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame, an Illinois not- for-profit corporation with a recognized charitable tax-deductible status under Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3).

  • Pressive – That Stays with You Long After It Ends.” – Mike Watt, FILM THREAT
    NOWHERE MAN A Film by Tim McCann 75 Minutes, Color FIRST RUN FEATURES 153 Waverly Place New York, NY 10014 (212) 243-0600/Fax (212) 989-7649 Website: www.firstrunfeatures.com Email: [email protected] “An outstanding film – dark, twisted and impressive – that stays with you long after it ends.” – Mike Watt, FILM THREAT “The pulse pounding intensity of Rodrick and Rochon's performances, married with McCann's muscular direction, make this film devastatingly shocking and utterly convincing!” - Mark Van Woert, b-critic.com “Unflinching… writer/director Tim McCann wisely concentrates his energy on story and characterization, pulling off one of the more impressive lo-fi efforts of the year.” – John W. Bowen, RUE MORGUE Just how bad can things get? Conrad has found a pornographic video featuring his fiancé. Shocked, he calls the wedding off. But now, after an emotionally brutal week, an abused Jennifer has cut off Conrad's penis - and taken it with her for ransom! A doctor has advised Conrad that if found immediately, there is some hope for re-attachment. But where is Jennifer hiding? Vengeful and furious, Conrad blunders gun first into the underworld of her “blue-film” past, to find her – and his missing member! Starring MICHAEL RODRICK ( Another World, Desolation Angels ), renowned cult actress DEBBIE ROCHON (‘Scream Queen of the Decade'), real life porn legend FRANK OLIVIER (as Daddy Mac), and directed by award winning filmmaker TIM MCCANN ( Revolution #9 , Desolation Angels ), NOWHERE MAN probes and cauterizes the preposterousness of love and revenge. It is both a nasty little film noir and a black humored treatise on the ever shifting balance of power in human relationships.
