  • Momi Presents 'Princess Cyd' in New York Theatrical
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MOMI PRESENTS ‘PRINCESS CYD’ IN NEW YORK THEATRICAL ENGAGEMENT, AND EARLY CAREER RETROSPECTIVE OF DIRECTOR STEPHEN CONE Princess Cyd, a BAMcinemaFest hit, will screen November 3–12, 2017 The concurrent retrospective, Talk About the Passion: Stephen Cone's First Act, includes five features and short works Astoria, Queens, New York, October 12, 2017—Museum of the Moving Image will present the New York theatrical premiere engagement of Princess Cyd, the 2017 BAMcinemaFest hit from Chicago-based writer-director Stephen Cone, starring Rebecca Spence, Jessie Pinnick, and Malic White. Concurrently, the Museum will present Talk About the Passion: Stephen Cone’s First Act, an early career retrospective of Cone’s work, highlighting features such as Henry Gamble’s Birthday Party and The Wise Kids, all preceded by selections of the director’s shorter work. Cone and cast members will be appearing in person at select screenings (to be announced). The retrospective and its centerpiece, the presentation of Princess Cyd, run November 3 through 12, 2017. Associate Curator of Film Eric Hynes, who organized the series, said: “Stephen Cone has established himself as one of the most distinctive and accomplished filmmakers working today. In both his features and short films, Cone has dexterously explored, and sometimes exploded the borders between comedy and drama, community and the self, faith and sexuality, sincerity and performance. As a writer, he imbues his characters with humanity and respect, and as a director oriented toward collaboration and improvisation, he approaches his actors the same way.” Princess Cyd made its New York debut at the 2017 BAMcinemaFest to critical acclaim.

    A New Queer Trinity: A Semiotic, Genre Theory, and Auto-Ethnographic Examination of Reeling: The Chicago LGBTQ+ International Film Festival DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jessica L. Hey, MA, BA Graduate Program in Arts Administration, Education and Policy The Ohio State University 2017 Dissertation Committee: James H. Sanders III, Advisor Shari M. Savage Deborah L. Smith-Shank Copyright by Jessica L. Hey 2017 ABSTRACT This doctoral study concerns itself with the visual representations of The Chicago LGBTQ+ International Film Festival (a.k.a. Reeling) with specific attention paid to their marketing campaign materials, as exemplified by the annually created festival POSTER. It is my aim to situate these posters alongside the historical contexts of queer identity, socio- political advocacy, and LGBTQ+ cinema. This analysis will navigate the 36-year period of the festival organization’s existence, providing key, in-depth interrogations into the decades, images, and trends both visual and narrative. My unpacking and theoretical discussions of the festival’s visual culture has been informed by the practices of semiotics and film genre theory. These methods were employed to answer the primary research question: How have the POSTER advertisements, as visual signifiers for The Chicago LGBTQ+ International Film Festival, symbolized their organization’s mission, represented queer identities, and engaged with the politically

Set in and around a Charleston, SC Baptist church, weaving through this ensemble piece are three main characters - Brea, an introspective pastor's daughter experiencing debilitating doubt; the hyperactive Laura, Brea's best friend and a devout believer; and Tim, the open-hearted son of a single father, confronting his homosexuality for the first time. Tensions and buried feelings abound, as colleges are chosen and adults behave badly, as Brea, Laura and Tim attempt to hang onto what they have, all the while yearning to break free. The Wise Kids page 3 ABOUT THE PRODUCTION Born and raised the son of a Southern Baptist minister in South Carolina, 30-year-old Stephen Cone has spent the past seven years in Chicago, IL making one short or feature film per year, while also dabbling as a writer/director in Chicago’s rich and internationally respected theatre scene. It was after the completion of his first full-length feature IN MEMORIAM that he first had an idea of two southern teenagers who have grown up in the same Baptist church.

The night before the party, Henry and his friend Gabe, have a sleepover. Typical teenage boy chat quickly turns sexual, and it’s silently implied that Henry, on a search for identity, has a crush on Gabe. As dawn arrives on the day of the party, Henry’s mom Kat wakes in a state of limbo, middle-aged, with a secret. A little while later, Pastor Bob is making breakfast, and they are joined by Henry’s 19- year-old sister Autumn, home from college for the party. Later that afternoon, guests begin to arrive – the assistant pastor, youth minister, husbands and wives; sons and daughters trapped between youth and adulthood, as well as Henry’s own teenaged church and “secular” friends, including the closeted young Logan, who has eyes for Henry. As day turns to night and clothes come off, Henry & Co. carefully navigate the religious strictures and sexual secrets held within the community, all struggling to tread the public and private, and their longing, despite themselves and their faith, for earthly love. Henry Gamble’s Birthday Party page 3 ABOUT THE PRODUCTION In early 2014, having recently completed the festival run of his fourth feature film Black Box, as well as shooting and completing two small experimental medium- length features, 34-year-old Chicago-based filmmaker Stephen Cone decided to set his sights back on the world of evangelical America that he had explored in his earlier film, the Outfest-winning New York Times Critics Pick The Wise Kids.
