FIELD REPORT DU HQ | From Wherever It May Be Said<\/strong><\/p>\n

The word for today is \u201cgallery,\u201d dearest readers, and if the Report<\/strong> hasn\u2019t perfected the art of tying together the movies (and more) of Champaign, Urbana<\/strong>, and the cities beyond, who else has? First up is this weekend\u2019s iteration of the Immersion Festival<\/strong> at the recently opened Gallery Art Bar<\/strong><\/a><\/span> in downtown Urbana on Saturday, September 7<\/strong>, and Sunday, September 8<\/strong>; co-founder Jake Metz<\/strong> discussed with Jessica Hammie<\/strong> of Smile Politely<\/span> <\/strong>what\u2019s in store for the show, which showcases the collaborations of audio, video, and musical artists from across the country in what becomes a multidisciplinary playground<\/a><\/span>, and his hopes for future expansion of the project. One can experience Immersion Fest with a blank slate of expectations or read about all the performers online<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Also coming to Gallery Art Bar is a new event called the 217 Film Festival<\/strong>, which is set for Thursday, September 19, 9 p.m.<\/strong>, and still accepting submissions of shorts running no longer than 15 minutes through the end of the day on Monday, September 9<\/strong>; Half House Studios<\/strong><\/a><\/span>, a music label and concert promoter based in the C-U, is branching out with 217 and a QR code posted to their Facebook<\/strong> account<\/a><\/span> will take filmmakers to a submission form they can fill out.<\/p>\n

And still feeling so close yet situated so far away, C-U native Tristan Duke<\/strong> continues his investigation of creating large-scale photographic images through unconventional means from his home base of southern California<\/strong> to the wilds of the Arctic Circle<\/strong>; an e-mail blast received this week at MFHQ Deux<\/strong> goes through his upcoming doings such as a solo exhibit, \u201cGlacial Optics<\/strong>,\u201d<\/a><\/span> opening on Friday, September 27<\/strong>, at SITE Santa Fe<\/strong> in New Mexico<\/strong>, and works appearing in group shows at both the Los Angeles Central Library<\/strong> and Los Angeles County Museum of Art<\/strong> in the fall. Duke\u2019s process involves the design and construction of self-made cameras utilizing atypical elements to capture images<\/a><\/span> \u2013 in the instance of \u201cGlacial Optics,\u201d fashioning his lenses from glacier ice in Alaska<\/strong> to photograph the environment his resource came from.<\/p>\n

IMAGERY DU C-U | Picturing Our Scene on the Screen<\/strong><\/p>\n

What, you thought it would be yet another<\/em> reference to that other<\/em> world-renowned 1954 black-and-white Toho Company<\/strong> production? The 4K restoration of Akira Kurosawa<\/strong>\u2019s SEVEN SAMURAI<\/strong>, distributed by Janus Films<\/strong><\/a><\/span>, storms the Normal Theater<\/strong> on September 6, 7<\/strong>, and 13<\/strong>, all at 7 p.m.<\/strong>, and September 15<\/strong> at 1 p.m.<\/strong> Go see it on the big screen where it and so many other indisputable world classics belong. If you have to drive long-distance for the pleasure, plan ahead; we know the Virginia Theatre\/News-Gazette<\/span><\/strong> line-up of Hollywood<\/strong> chestnuts gets vanilla at times \u2013 we\u2019ll tip our hat to them for booking Robert Altman<\/strong>\u2019s THE LONG GOODBYE<\/strong> on September 21<\/strong>, a nice surprise there \u2013 and the overall lack of an Art Theater<\/strong> for art cinema in the C-U has already gotten old. In November<\/a><\/span>, the Criterion Collection<\/strong> will issue SEVEN SAMURAI<\/strong> on UHD, which carries over extras including a commentary that features the former University of Illinois<\/strong> film professor David Desser<\/strong>, as well as GODZILLA<\/strong> (gotcha!), FUNNY FACE, PAPER MOON, THE SHAPE OF WATER<\/strong>, the 1932 version of SCARFACE<\/strong>, and the Japanese folk horror DEMON POND<\/strong>. Since poster and package design for movies is rarely the province of an art gallery, we\u2019d like to showcase below the striking SAMURAI<\/strong> work done by illustrator Sean Phillips<\/strong> and title designer Neil Kellerhouse<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
