A modest program features more than 25 pieces, serving as a \u201ccelebration of the art of cinematography\u201d per AmeriCorps<\/strong> hire and outreach advisor Nicole Pion<\/strong>, and is rich with interactive portions to engage audience members. Activists, students, and producers from the immediate community are behind many of the movie selections while live attractions include a deejay and projection set by DJ Belly<\/strong> and Matt HarsH<\/strong>, post-film discussions led by the Gesundheit! Institute<\/strong> and the People\u2019s Potluck<\/strong>, and an orchestral performance synched up to the silent German classic, THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI<\/strong>, of an original score composed and conducted by University of Illinois<\/strong> graduate student Vin Calianno<\/span><\/strong><\/a>. Organizers and rotating hosts of the event are Pion, Katy Vizdal, Laura Fuhrman, Brian Dolinar<\/strong>, and Jason Pankoke<\/strong>, the latter taking the reins at the first New Art Film Festival<\/strong> a scant two months later<\/span><\/a>. Dolinar and friends would bring back the IMC Film Festival for a third and final bow in September 2011.
