Cinema on the Edge Continues with Screenings The Department of Cinema and Photography will continue its Cinema on the Edge series this spring with three film screenings. They are the public component of the department’s American Film course, which examines the sociological and historical factors that contributed to the evolution of films made in this country. The screenings are free and open to the public. Assistant professor Christina Lane and associate professor Gina Marchetti of the cinema and photography department are the program’s curators. Guest artists and critics will be on hand to give lectures, lead discussions, and screen their work. All three screenings will take place on Mondays in Park Hall Auditorium at 7:00 p.m. February 21 — Paolo Cherchi-Usai An adjunct professor and senior curator at the George Eastman House/International Museum of Photography and Film in Rochester, Cherchi-Usai is particularly interested in the reassessment of neglected periods, personalities, and works of silent cinema. Broadening the scope of his previous research on film, he discusses the origins and phenomena of 20th-century visual culture in the United States. April 3 — Black Maria Film Festival Festival director John Columbus presents a number of this past year’s most poetic, playful, vibrant, and cutting-edge film and video entries as the festival makes its 19th annual national tour. April 24 — Richard Fung Having shown his work in hundreds of venues worldwide, award-winning director Richard Fung (School Fag, Dirty Laundry, Out of the Blue) is known for forging new cinematic relationships between queer theory, postmodernism, and postcolonialism. Cinema on the Edge is supported by the James B. Pendleton Endowment of the Roy H. Park School of Communications, with additional support from the Central New York Programmers Group and the New York State Council on the Arts.
