The ​ ​ program, announced today, features some of the most talented new film and music artists on the verge of breaking out. Tickets ($15­25) go on sale to Sundance Institute members today and all others tomorrow at sundance.org/next. ​ ​ Sundance NEXT FEST will present the Los Angeles premieres of six new independent films from the 2016 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, as well as a showcase of comedy short films. Each is paired with a music act, live performance or conversation with an icon of independent cinema. The festival kicks off Friday with the premiere of Lovesong, an offbeat love story starring Riley Keough and Jena ​ ​ Malone, and a performance by Shamir. Saturday’s lineup includes: coming­of­age comedy Morris from America and ​ ​ a local teen talent show, hosted by Craig Robinson; the edgy, New York­set White Girl; and the premiere of intense ​ ​ fraternity drama Goat, starring Nick Jonas and paired with Sunflower Bean, called “NYC's Coolest Young Band” by ​ ​ Rolling Stone. Sunday’s events include: a showcase of comedy short films from the 2016 Sundance Film Festival, ​ hosted by comedian Nick Kroll and followed by a Short Film Master Class for filmmakers; the premiere of highly ​ acclaimed, Iranian horror film Under the Shadow; and the festival closes with the wild and debaucherous The ​ ​ ​ Greasy Strangler, accompanied by a live performance from New Orleans’ “Queen of Bounce,” Big Freedia and the ​ world premiere of Flying Lotus’, aka steve’s, directorial debut, the short film Royal. ​ ​ John Cooper, Director of the Sundance Film Festival, said, “This year’s Sundance NEXT FEST showcases stories ​ from all over that still hit close to home. Tied to music performances by breakout artists and extended conversations with prolific filmmakers, this weekend celebration is an indie oasis in a summer of big­budget blockbusters.” Trevor Groth, Director of Programming for the Sundance Film Festival, said, “Sundance NEXT FEST has become a ​ summer staple for independent film and music fans in Los Angeles who want to experience what’s new and next in culture. This is our biggest and weirdest lineup to date, and I can’t wait for people to see what we’ve dreamt up this year.” Sundance NEXT FEST this year includes NEXT DOOR, a free outdoor entertainment venue next to the Theatre for attendees to mingle and enjoy a drink, snacks and sponsor activities before or after a screening. Also, just before NEXT FEST kicks off, NIGHT BEFORE NEXT, a celebration event on August 11, will benefit the Institute. Nate ​ ​ Parker (The Birth of a Nation) will receive the Institute’s Vanguard Award during cocktails and dinner, and the ​ ​ outdoor party afterwards will feature a live musical performance by White Sea, fronted by Morgan Kibby, formerly of M83. Tickets to the outdoor party start at $150 and include an Institute membership at some levels. Members who support the non­profit Sundance Institute have access to a host of benefits related to Sundance NEXT FEST, including the ability to purchase tickets today, before they go on sale to the public tomorrow. Members also get special seating at screenings, are invited to a party during Sundance NEXT FEST and are eligible to win a prize package including a three­night stay at the Ace Hotel plus airfare.

Furthermore, Lemonade centers black life while presenting mainstream audiences with poetry and avant-garde imagery that challenge dominant views of black womanhood. Using theorists bell hooks, Stuart Hall, Patricia Hill- Collins and Audre Lorde, among others, I argue that Beyoncé’s work challenges the understanding of artistic production while simultaneously fitting within a long tradition of black feminist cultural production.

Works Cited 46 Appendix 49 Abstract Beyoncé’s latest album has become an instant social phenomenon worldwide. Given its innovative poetic, visual, musical and socio-politic impact, the famous and controversial African American singer has taken an untraveled road—both personal and professional. The purpose of this essay is to provide a close reading of the poetry, music, lyrics and visuals in four sections from Beyoncé’s critically acclaimed Lemonade (2016). To this end, I have chosen what I believe are the most representative sections of Lemonade together with their respective songs. Thus, I focus on the song “Hold Up” from Denial; “Daddy Lessons” from Accountability, “Freedom” from Hope, and “Formation,” where Beyoncé addresses topics such as infidelity, racism, women’s representation, and racism and inequality. I analyse these topics through a close-reading and interpretation of Warsan Shire’s poetry (a source of inspiration), as well as Beyoncé’s own music, lyrics, and imagery. From this analysis, it is safe to say that Lemonade is a relevant work of art that will perdure in time, since it highlights positive representations of African-Americans, at the same time Beyoncé critically denounces the current racial unrest lived in the USA.

Whether the pieces in Writing@SVSU are attached to a prize, the works you’ll find here emphasize that all writing matters, even when it’s not done for an English class (to paraphrase the title of an essay that follows). Given the political climate, where commentary is often delivered by our leaders through late- night or early-a.m. tweets, we hope you find it refreshing to read the pieces on the following pages. Beyond incorporating far more than 140 characters, these pieces encourage us to reflect at length, as they themselves were the product of much thought and reflection. Beyond being sources and the product of reflection, these texts remind us that the work of the university is, in part, to build bridges, often through words.

    From Bandannas to Berets: A Critical Analysis of Beyoncé’s “Formation” Music Video by Kesha Shalyn James A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Communication Auburn, Alabama August 5, 2017 Keywords: Beyoncé, Formation, Black women, Black music, Black culture, media representations Copyright 2017 by Kesha Shalyn James Approved by Susan L. Brinson, Chair, Professor of Communication & Journalism George Plasketes, Professor of Communication & Journalism Kevin Smith, Associate Professor of Communication & Journalism Abstract The release of Beyoncé’s “Formation” music video as well as her debut performance of the song at the 2016 Super Bowl has incited debate and controversy across the United States. While some feel empowered and prideful, others are angered and outraged by the lyrical and visual messages Beyoncé communicates in this mediated text. Applying a critical/cultural studies perspective lens, this study explains how Beyoncé challenges the sexist and racist dominant ideology in the United States. Critically analyzing the visual and lyrical composition of “Formation,” this analysis interrogates the messages of both race and gender as well as the representation of Black Women. The findings indicate a direct challenge to white androcentric power as the visuals and lyrics re-appropriate stereotypical images of Black Women, thus demonstrating Black Women’s power and dominance in society. The implications of explaining the ways in which Beyoncé communicates what and how it means to be a Black Woman in “Formation” inform and explain the social, political, and economic reality of Black Women in the United States today, as mediated texts re-present everyday reality.
