Cheryl Dunye Instagram - Feels good to be screening at the New Beverly Theater again. Back in 1997, The WMW was booked here for two weeks. At its premiere, which was a small one, both Euzahn Palsy and Julia Louis Dreyfus were in the audience!  If you live in LA, don’t miss a rare opportunity to see the movie projected in 16mm! Screens today & tomorrow at New Beverly. #newbeverlycinema #thewatermelonwoman

Cheryl Dunye Instagram - The Academy’s Governors Awards was so special. I witnessed Euzhan Palcy receive an Honorary Oscar for her ground breaking work in cinema — she was the first black woman to direct a studio movie.  Also got to connect with Angela and Viola. And bumped into Ryan Coogler and Zinzi Evans too. AND last but not least reconnected with Jonathan Majors. So much love in the building. @euzhanpalcyofficial @bassettvance @im.angelabassett @lakariniux @theacademy @violadavis @lovecrafthbo

Cheryl Dunye Instagram - Thank you @npr for a wonderful conversation! Check out my interview on their site, link in bio.
Cheryl Dunye Instagram - I’m heartbroken to learn that a near and dear collaborator, actress, artist, activist and ally, Nora Breen passed away during the holidays. We met in Philly in the early 80’s in the basement of The Wooden Shoe Bookstore where we volunteered among the collection of radical literature and off beat vinyl. She was one of the few people who made the city her canvas for making art and she was always happy to play “the white woman” in my critique of race privilege and queer injustice.

Back in the day, Nora appeared in THE POTLUCK AND THE PASSION, GREETINGS FROM AFRICA, and appeared in the fictional photo archive for my first feature, THE WATERMELON WOMAN.

Last October we reconnected. Nora updated me on her street art projects and rasing hell in her insta stories.

In her last text to me Nora closed with:
“Keep on keeping on and forever Philly.” 

Rest in the Radical Nora! @thenorabreenproject.  http://www.norabreen.com/ @thewoodenshoebooks

They're kicking it off with The Watermelon Woman screening on March 3rd @ 7pm.

Cheryl Dunye Instagram - RIP Jessie Maple!

Will (1981), one of the first narrative feature films made by an African American woman director. It set the ball in motion for so many women, including myself, to make films. 
Thank you for your courage, your fierceness, and your vision.

Cheryl Dunye Instagram - Happy 40th anniversary, @sundanceorg! The first time I went to Sundance was in 1995 and it was called the USA film festival. I showed a short film called “Greetings From Africa.” There I met filmmakers and programmers who paved the way for independent cinema in the 90s. Then, years later I had another eye-opening experience when I came back to Sundance with my second feature film “Stranger Inside” and the festival welcomed us with open arms.  Each experience has been life-changing. Happy birthday, Sundance 🎂 @michaelstipe @sundanceorg

Cheryl Dunye - 2.7K Likes - The Academy’s Governors Awards was so special. I witnessed Euzhan Palcy receive an Honorary Oscar for her ground breaking work in cinema — she was the first black woman to direct a studio movie.  Also got to connect with Angela and Viola. And bumped into Ryan Coogler and Zinzi Evans too. AND last but not least reconnected with Jonathan Majors. So much love in the building. @euzhanpalcyofficial @bassettvance @im.angelabassett @lakariniux @theacademy @violadavis @lovecrafthbo

Cheryl Dunye - 2K Likes - I’m heartbroken to learn that a near and dear collaborator, actress, artist, activist and ally, Nora Breen passed away during the holidays. We met in Philly in the early 80’s in the basement of The Wooden Shoe Bookstore where we volunteered among the collection of radical literature and off beat vinyl. She was one of the few people who made the city her canvas for making art and she was always happy to play “the white woman” in my critique of race privilege and queer injustice.

Back in the day, Nora appeared in THE POTLUCK AND THE PASSION, GREETINGS FROM AFRICA, and appeared in the fictional photo archive for my first feature, THE WATERMELON WOMAN.

Last October we reconnected. Nora updated me on her street art projects and rasing hell in her insta stories.

In her last text to me Nora closed with:
“Keep on keeping on and forever Philly.” 

Rest in the Radical Nora! @thenorabreenproject.  http://www.norabreen.com/ @thewoodenshoebooks

Will (1981), one of the first narrative feature films made by an African American woman director. It set the ball in motion for so many women, including myself, to make films.

Cheryl Dunye - 1.3K Likes - Happy 40th anniversary, @sundanceorg! The first time I went to Sundance was in 1995 and it was called the USA film festival. I showed a short film called “Greetings From Africa.” There I met filmmakers and programmers who paved the way for independent cinema in the 90s. Then, years later I had another eye-opening experience when I came back to Sundance with my second feature film “Stranger Inside” and the festival welcomed us with open arms.  Each experience has been life-changing. Happy birthday, Sundance 🎂 @michaelstipe @sundanceorg
