<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Patrick Wang, the writer-director
and star of the acclaimed new indie drama IN THE FAMILY (2012 Independent
Spirit Award nominee for Best First Feature), will appear in person to answer
audience questions after the 6:45 pm screening on Thursday, January 12 at the
Cleveland Institute of Art Cinematheque, 11141 East Boulevard in University
Circle, <a href="http://www.cia.edu/cinematheque">www.cia.edu/cinematheque</a>.
This will be the film's Midwest premiere. The movie shows a second time,
without Mr. Wang, on Saturday, January 14 at 8:30 pm. Tickets to either
screening cost $9; Cinematheque members $7; ages 25 & under $5 (with proof
of age).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>In the movie, a gay man is devastated when his partner dies
suddenly and the dead man’s biological six-year-old child, whom both men
were raising, goes to live with the dead man’s sister, as specified in
the will. The forlorn lover struggles to make peace with the family and the
situation. IN THE FAMILY, which is Patrick Wang’s debut feature, was
rejected by 30 film festivals before finally opening in NYC, where <i>The NY
Times </i>called it “one of the most accomplished and undersold
directorial debuts this year.” Set and shot in Tennessee, IN THE FAMILY
is far from a stereotypical Southern melodrama; Mr. Wang is Asian-American, and
his propensity for long, meditative takes and fascination with family dynamics
echo the work of Japan’s great Yasujiro Ozu. “<span lang=EN>A
beautifully written and performed plea for understanding... Will move many
viewers with its dignity and restraint." <i>–Variety. </i>“The
most surprising and astounding DIY American narrative of the year.” <i>–Filmmaker
Magazine. </i>The movies lasts </span>169 minutes.<o:p></o:p></p>
