MFHQ MEMO | From Chambana<\/del> Mendota with Love<\/del> Resolve<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been mostly quiet about the New Art Film Festival<\/strong> since November and figure that next week will be an opportune time for me to open up. Why? For starters, see the Almanac<\/strong> below.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

CONFIDENTIAL ALMANAC | Dates in Film Culture History<\/strong><\/p>\n

10 Years Ago<\/strong> \u2026 April 15-20, 2010:<\/em> Inspired by the warm reception given to his Boneyard Arts Festival<\/strong> \u201cmovie show\u201d at Urbana\u2019s Caffe Paradiso<\/strong> the previous spring, Jason Pankoke<\/strong> of C-U Confidential<\/span><\/strong> takes up a cross-town opportunity to build a more substantial showcase for independent cinema. He and Art Theater<\/strong> owner Sanford Hess<\/strong> collaborate to launch the first New Art Film Festival<\/span><\/strong><\/a> to offer Champaign-Urbana<\/strong> a unique program, drawing from both locally-made content and the work of producers from Chicago<\/strong> and several Midwest states. A free \u201cnon-taxing\u201d reel, mixing trailers and film shorts in a similar vein to the Paradiso event, kicks off the NAFF on Thursday, April 15<\/strong>, after which the full potential of its concept is demonstrated to audiences. Blocks include various pieces from University of Illinois<\/strong> alumni and students, a selection of adventures from Dark Maze Studios<\/strong> of Champaign, the C-U debut of the documentary HOOPESTON<\/strong>, and features made by Pankoke\u2019s contacts through the defunct MICRO-FILM<\/span><\/strong> journal such as EXISTO, RETURN IN RED<\/strong>, and DEADWOOD PARK<\/strong>. Screenings are paced across six days, the first three concurrent with Boneyard Arts and a closing \u201cbest of\u201d presentation taking place on Tuesday, April 20<\/strong>, the night before Roger Ebert\u2019s Film Festival<\/strong> commences. While an overall success, the NAFF would be modified to eliminate ticket sales, concentrate on selections from the state of Illinois<\/strong>, and consolidate to a single-day affair, becoming a signature Art event for the next decade that provided media storytellers who live downstate with a public space to convene.
