  • Sxsw Film Festival Announces 2018 Features and Opening Night Film a Quiet Place
    SXSW FILM FESTIVAL ANNOUNCES 2018 FEATURES AND OPENING NIGHT FILM A QUIET PLACE Film Festival Celebrates 25th Edition Austin, Texas, January 31, 2018 – The South by Southwest® (SXSW®) Conference and Festivals announced the features lineup and opening night film for the 25th edition of the Film Festival, running March 9-18, 2018 in Austin, Texas. The acclaimed program draws thousands of fans, filmmakers, press, and industry leaders every year to immerse themselves in the most innovative, smart and entertaining new films of the year. During the nine days of SXSW 132 features will be shown, with additional titles yet to be announced. The full lineup will include 44 films from first-time filmmakers, 86 World Premieres, 11 North American Premieres and 5 U.S. Premieres.

As we look back on the body of work of talent discovered, careers launched and wonderful films we’ve enjoyed, we couldn’t be more excited about the future,” said Janet Pierson, Director of Film. “This year’s slate, while peppered with works from many of our alumni, remains focused on new voices, new directors and a range of films that entertain and enlighten.” “We are particularly pleased to present John Krasinski’s A Quiet Place as our Opening Night Film,” Pierson added.“Not only do we love its originality, suspense and amazing cast, we love seeing artists stretch and explore.

  • Download Press Release
    SELECT FAIR MIAMI 2014 7200-7300 Collins Avenue MILK AND NIGHT PRESS RELEASE Miami Beach Milk and Night is a collective of guest artists and curators who explore the role of feminism in the art world. Together, we share a vision inspired by traditional feminist practices channeled through contemporary artists and media, offering a unique platform of intellectualism with the new generation of voices. Milk and Night creates exhibition programs, discussion panels, and performance events. It first showed as a group exhibition in September 2014 at Gallery Sensei in New York City. It has since established an on-going residency at the gallery and will be hosting quarterly events from 2014-2016. On-going guest curators are Anne Sherwood Pundyk, Katie Cercone, Kate Eberstadt. Founding director/curator Coco Dolle. "Feminism" is a powerful buzzword right now, as evidenced across public discourse: from Emma Watson's UN Speech, to Beyonce's VMA performance in front of the word itself, to the countless think pieces blowing up your news feed. This global spotlight provides an unparalleled opportunity to explore this term and recreate the world we live in. Despite the art world's reputation for progressivism, it is an epicenter of gender inequality. Male artists comprise 70% of gallery representation and earn on average 83% more than their female counterparts. Art Basel brings together some of the most interesting creative minds, and yet is so commonly associated with decadence, celebrity, wealth, and glamour, a huge missed opportunity for change. As a means to both explore the current dialogue on feminism and to overcome the gender gap, Milk and Night ’s presence at Select Art Fair – Miami Art Basel would represent this important dialogue as the only booth dedicated solely to feminist art.
