December and a New Year

December 22nd, 2009

With the new year, Travel Queeries begins to move towards more festival screenings and the promise of academic prints being distributed. New film project Boys on the Inside (BOI) will wrap up production in April 2010 in Seattle with an early 2011 premiere planned (BOI also now has a profile on Withoutabox film festival submission site).

In addition there is another new film project, in collaboration with Katie Jaques. “Blue Tuesday (and the broken riddles)” is a film about a girl wandering through an alternate reality full of whimsical and eccentric characters that aid her in cracking codes or riddles that will lead her back to the path. The film has a sort of dorthy/alice-esk theme and will be shot outside Berlin in an abandoned hospital, staring some of Berlin’s underground personalities. “Blue Tuesday” will be in Production in August 2010 and have an early 2011 premiere.

In Berlin, Elliat has become involved with the international artists group titled Neukölln Imports (see page here), which will hopefully be integrated into organizational structure research in the coming year. In regards to US based research, she been in conversation with Arlene Goldbard about Art and Public Purpose: A New Framework and hope that this spring will see her editing a new video to promote and help bring out stories related to this cultural policy change movement for the arts in the US.

Friend Debi Weathers has just started a new publishing house called Hammon Press and in March 2010 will be releasing the long awaited publication of her phD thesis titled Adventures in Kate Bush and Theory.

More news to come soon! Happy New Year!!
