Thesis Director _________________________________ _________________________________ Niketa Reed, M.A. Frank Milo Scheide, Ph.D. Committee Member Committee Member ABSTRACT Election Day is a three-channel documentary chronicling the places, personalities, and tone of Little Rock, Arkansas, during its titular midterm Election Day in November 2018. Throughout the course of the day, the film branches across the city, capturing mini-narratives, bits of conversation, and tableau of civic activity in the public sphere. It is less concerned with the quantitative facts of the day as it is with conveying the transitory social expressions and moods of a modern, southern city on a uniquely American day. -

It serves as a refreshing rebuke to our modern political climate favoring bullying and division over understanding and unity.” -

Even if we don’t, our stories gon’ make it!” USA, 86 minutes Press inquiries: Tahajah Samuels [email protected] 732-925-0140 Distribution inquiries: Tim Horsburgh at Kartemquin Films [email protected] 847-436-2329 unapologeticfilm.com 2 UNAPOLOGETIC | SYNOPSIS Photo Credit: Tom Callahan LOGLINE: After two Black Chicagoans are killed, millennial organizers challenge an administration complicit in state violence against its residents. Told through the lens of Janaé and Bella, two fierce abolitionist leaders, Unapologetic is a deep look into the Movement for Black Lives, from the police murder of Rekia Boyd to the election of Mayor Lori Lightfoot. Synopsis: Unapologetic captures a tense and polarizing moment in Chicago’s fight for the livelihood of its Black residents. The film follows Janaé and Bella, two young abolitionist organizers, as they work within the Movement for Black Lives to seek justice for Rekia Boyd and Laquan McDonald, two young Black people killed by Chicago police. They aim to elevate a progressive platform for criminal justice to a police board led by Lori Lightfoot and a complicit city administration, while also elevating leadership by women and femmes. JANAÉ BONSU, 24, moves from South Carolina to Chicago committed to pursuing her PHD in social work. However, in the midst of all of the trauma surrounding state and intra-community violence, the movement calls her for a higher purpose. She joins the Chicago chapter of Black Youth Project 100 (BYP100), a young activist organization committed to progressive change in Black communities through policy and direct action. -
These Filmmakers Have the Ability to Penetrate the Souls of the People They Depict.“ - Roger Ebert 1968
“These filmmakers have the ability to penetrate the souls of the people they depict.“ - Roger Ebert 1968 In 1966, Stanley Karter, Jerry Temaner, and Gordon Quinn formed Kartemquin, a documentary film collective to engage citizens, provoke debate and promote social change. Along with fellow University of Chicago student Jerry Blumenthal, they created a powerhouse for impact media – before impact media even had a name. Over the next five decades, Kartemquin’s work encompassed subjects ranging from the competitive world of high school basketball, immigration, homeless youth and exploration of the creative process. Along the way, garnering prestigious honors including Emmys, Peabodys, Independent Spirit, Directors Guild of America, duPont- Columbia, Robert F. Kennedy journalism awards, and an Academy Award nomination. More important than the thousands of accolades Kartemquin films have received over the years is the immeasurable impact they’ve had on some of the most important issues of the last half-century. On June 24th, 2016, we invite you to join Honorary Chair Chaz Ebert for a very special evening that includes: • Dinner at an exquisite private home at which you will have the opportunity to mingle with producers, directors and subjects from some of Kartemquin’s most celebrated films. • A live show at the Harris Theatre celebrating Kartemquin’s legacy, current projects and an exclusive announcement about our future plans. • An after party at the Harris Theatre to network, see old friends, and toast to Kartemquin’s exciting next chapter. -

The Dilemma of Desire
THE DILEMMA OF DESIRE A film by Peabody Award-winning director Maria Finitzo KEY IMAGES Facebook: @dilemmaofdesire Twitter: @dilemmaofdesire Instagram: @dilemmaofdesire Website: www.dilemmaofdesiredoc.com Sales inquiries: Publicity inquiries: Ro*co Films Sylvia Desrochers [email protected] [email protected] The Dilemma of Desire | SYNOPSIS Logline: An exploration of “cliteracy,” and the clash between the gender politics and the imperatives of female sexual desire. Synopsis: Entertaining, thrilling and radical, THE DILEMMA OF DESIRE explores the work of four women who are shattering myths and lies about female sexual desire, bodies and - ultimately - power. Groundbreaking artist Sophia Wallace challenges long-held ideas of women with her “cliteracy” project, putting front and center the clitoris as fundamental to female orgasm. Dr. Stacey Dutton, a neuroscientist who realized she had never seen a drawing of the clitoris until she discovered Wallace’s work, is now committed to studying its biology and pushing the publishing industry to correct the deliberate omissions of the clitoris in major anatomy textbooks. With 20 years of research, Dr. Lisa Diamond is dismantling outdated notions about women’s arousal. And industrial designer Ti Chang heads CRAVE, a company dedicated to designing and manufacturing elegant vibrators for women. Providing the embodiment of this work are the personal stories of Umnia, Becca, Jasmine, Sunny, and Coriama - five young women discovering and owning their sexuality. THE DILEMMA OF DESIRE is a powerful reminder that true equality will come only when we all arrive at a place of understanding and acknowledgement that women are sexual beings, entitled to live their lives fully within the expression of their desire. -
