NEW ART FILM FESTIVAL | Our Scene on the Big Screen
Launched on a sincere vote of confidence by Sanford Hess and a community programming gamble by Jason Pankoke, the New Art Film Festival has provided the movie storytellers of downstate Illinois with their own theatrical showcase since 2010. Originally scheduled as a complement to the annual Boneyard Arts Festival of Champaign County in large part due to that event’s lack of film and video content, the NAFF has been hosted by the Art Theater in downtown Champaign for all its shows to date. After producing and emceeing nine editions over the same number of years, Pankoke was forced to cancel the tenth NAFF when the Art closed for business in October 2019. Its future is being debated. Below you will find summaries and poster art for each NAFF to review, after which you can dive into the details at select C-U Blogfidential posts and sample selections at its dedicated YouTube and Vimeo accounts. | Jason Pankoke

C-U CONFIDENTIAL SHOW | A Modest Proposal that Worked
Leading directly to the creation of the New Art Film Festival, this one-off presentation was organized and hosted by Jason Pankoke in conjunction with the Boneyard Arts Festival. Its purpose was to offer the community a lively sampler of what the movies made locally in downstate Illinois looked like at the time. Having recently spun off C-U Confidential from MICRO-FILM as its own print entity, the public outreach made perfect sense to Pankoke given that no exhibitions of the sort existed in Champaign-Urbana. Two of several creative touches that helped to make the effort distinct were that Urbana’s Caffe Paradiso, so named after the famous Italian film CINEMA PARADISO, hosted the show in their expanded seating area, formerly home to a second That’s Rentertainment video store. | Jason Pankoke

MICRO-FILM MOVIE SHOWS | Wading into Downtown Waters
Previous collaborations with the Independent Media Center in 2003 were a success and encouraged Jason Pankoke to return to his promotional roots, given that MICRO-FILM was in its “second wind” phase of publishing. A solo showing later the same year at Mike ‘n Molly’s, a downtown Champaign bar with primarily “townie” and student-age clientele, was followed by a 2006 series at the same in an effort to establish a microcinema concept with audience-friendly genre films. Most screenings were held in the most casual of settings, the ivy-lined Mike ‘n Molly’s beer garden, and all selections came from the pool of material submitted for coverage to the journal during its run. | Jason Pankoke

IMC-MICRO-FILM MOVIE NIGHT | Jabbing the Status Quo
Following the first MICRO-FILM show, organizer Jason Pankoke kept tabs on the cultural scene of Champaign-Urbana to see where he might contribute. The weekly bar-and-beer meetings by members of the Production Group at the Independent Media Center – Paul Riismandel, Nicole Lamers, Colleen Cook (Reiner), Drew Tarico, Dave Powers, and Pankoke – resulted in ideas for various projects and outreach such as a guerilla film event, held at the original IMC location in downtown Urbana and serving as pointed counterprogramming to the opening night of Roger Ebert’s Film Festival across town. The group would follow it up in August of that year with a pairing of comedic EXISTO and Russ Forster’s lo-fi tribute band documentary TRIBUTARY during an epic IMC fundraiser at the Canopy Club in Urbana. | Jason Pankoke

MICRO-FILM VERITÉ | Personal Cinema in Action in the C-U
The Freaky Film Festival had built enough goodwill for the independent film arts in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, that loyal volunteer Jason Pankoke chose to carry the torch once it became known the seminal DIY event would not return in 2001. A timely catalyst was provided by the ‘zine/art exhibit “Zineophilia” at Southlynn Studios in the Lincoln Building of downtown Champaign, which featured Pankoke’s journal MICRO-FILM and took place directly across the street from the Highdive concert venue. It seemed a natural fit to offer an offbeat movie event at a non-theatrical space in the spirit of Freaky Film and, luckily, Highdive talent buyer Ward Gollings agreed. Like “Zineophilia,” ““MICRO-FILM Verité” was promoted as a featured stop on the “Octopus Art Walk,” a progenitor of the Boneyard Arts Festival. | Jason Pankoke
