Professor Kym McDaniel’s film receives a jury award at the Chicago Underground Film Festival

Assistant Professor Kym McDaniel’s film "Document With No End" received a jury award at the Chicago Underground Film Festival. The film was acknowledged by jurors Tom Colley, Anahita Ghazvinizadeh and Dirk Matthews. The film was chosen out of almost 3000 submissions to screen at the festival. 

Next month, the film will screen at the 39th annual MIX FEST - NYC's home for queer experimental film. The film is part of the program, "Is it really easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism?" at Dixon Place.

Throughout the year, the film has also screened at Images Festival, Athens International Film & Video Festival, Ann Arbor Film Festival, the Ammerman Center for Technology, and curated by AL Steiner within the program, "Manifesto for Sustainable Experimentation" at Beaconsfield Gallery London.
