Chicago Filmmakers' podcast, …Like Clockwork, curates conversations between Chicago filmmakers, programmers, curators, and multi-disciplinary artists and colleagues from around the world. This is a chance to see some of the incredible work made by our guests, followed by a unique live conversation featuring all of our local filmmakers. Programmed by M. Woods (host of …Like Clockwork) and the Chicago Filmmakers programming intern team!
We are thrilled to present another edition of our local film series Chicago Seen (formerly known as Spirit of Chicago). Chicago Filmmakers invites free submissions all year round from Chicago-based filmmakers and/or films about Chicago. Volume 16 features work by Aidan Karstadt, Andrew Paul Davis, M. Woods, George Ellzey Jr., Jejoon Park, Jesse Rothenberg & Zo Zosak, Josh Weissbach, Juli Del Prete, and Nick Schoenbrodt.
Following the screening, the Chicago Seen programming team will moderate a conversation with the filmmakers in attendance.
Los Angeles to Seoul is 5973 miles, but the distance of a loved one lost is so much further. When my father was mentally and physically suffering while I was in California and he was across the ocean, I learned that the idea of “grief” is neither simple nor easily dismissed. The feelings of sadness, anger, and guilt – in the face of pressure to “move on,” – get imprinted in the body and in one’s interactions with the world.
Lovers of the unusual, NFU has returned! Experience this eighth screening of bizarre and experimental shorts carefully selected by Take Your Medicine and Smile from the local underground scene. You will see new surrealist, expressionist and cult films made by both NFU veterans and newcomers.
