  • 2017 Producers Book Finalists
    PRODUCERS BOOK & PRINT SOURCE LIST Pre-Festival Edition THE 2017 PRODUCERS BOOK A LETTER FROM THE SCREENPLAY & FILM COMPETITION DIRECTORS Hello! Each year, we prepare our annual Producers Book which contains loglines and contact information for the year’s top scripts in our various Script Competitions. Please feel free to reach out to any of the writers listed here to request a copy of their scripts. Also included is our Print Source List containing information for all films selected for the 2017 Festival. This year’s Semifinalists and Finalists were chosen from a field of 9,487 scripts entered in our Screenplay, Digital Series, Playwriting, and Fiction Podcast Competitions. Each year we are amazed by the professional quality and talent that we receive and this year wasn’t any different. The Competition is open to feature-length scripts in the genres of drama, comedy, sci-fi, and horror; teleplay pilots and specs, short scripts, stage plays, fiction podcast scripts, and digital series scripts. Year after year, our strive in programming the Austin Film Festival film slate is to discover and champion the writers and those who can translate amazing stories to the screen. We received over 5,000 film submissions this year and had the task of whittling it down to 182 films that embody our mission and passion for storytelling. It was a harrowing task, but it led to our strongest year of film yet. We’re so proud of this year’s diverse group of filmmakers and unique voices and can’t wait for these works to be seen, shared, and loved.

    Press Contact: Rachael Dorsey tel: 212 255-5793 ext. 14 fax: 212 645-4258 [email protected] For Immediate Release The Kitchen presents a new performance by Miranda July New York, NY, January 3, 2007 - The Kitchen presents a new performance by filmmaker, performance artist, and writer Miranda July titled THINGS WE DON'T UNDERSTAND AND DEFINITELY ARE NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT. This new work is a tale of heartbreak and obsession so familiar you could tell it yourself. In fact, each night July employs members of the audience to help her reveal the humor and terror that are at the heart of intimacy, betrayal, and creativity. As in her earlier productions, July utilizes video and music, and plays multiple characters. The performances will take place at The Kitchen (512 West 19th Street) on Thursday, March 1 through Sunday, March 4 at 8pm. Tickets are $15. THINGS WE DON'T UNDERSTAND AND DEFINITELY ARE NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT, with music composed by Jon Brion (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Punch-Drunk Love), has been performed at The Steve Allen Theater (Los Angeles) and Project Theater Artaud/San Francisco Cinematheque, and offers insight into July’s filmmaking process; her next feature film revolves around the same themes and characters. Most recently, she is best known as the writer and director of her award-winning feature length film Me and You and Everyone We Know (2005). July first received critical acclaim in New York for her performances at The Kitchen, The Swan Tool (2001) and Love Diamond (2000). About the Artist Miranda July is a filmmaker, performing artist and writer.

While “craftivism” was quickly defined by the work of a few, this thesis expands previous considerations of craftivism as both theoretical construct and making method. Considering the emergence of craftivism as method, this paper examines the work of ceramic craftivists, analyzing their practices and produced works within a context of increased political urgency, using ceramics as a microcosmic exploration for craftivism in a given craft media.
