DOC films at University of Chicago, Facets Multimedia and the Chicago Film Festival. Saw the original Solaris at CFF long, long ago...Delicatessen more recently. I'm a bit worried about Soderbergh's remake of Solaris..In the early seventies, the Chaplin films were all being re-released to the big screen in new prints. Saw all those Chaplin films at Oak Street Cinema, which is now long gone.
The Art Institute maintains a great public film series. I atill have friends and relatives in Chicago, so I try to catch whatever's being shown when I'm in town. I wish I'd been able to see more of the Hong Kong series, I only got to see 2 or 3. I also enjoyed their film noir series.
I wish Indianapolis had the quality of programming Chi-town enjoys with the Music Box. Indy is a wonderful location for classical music...less so for film...although it's getting better. Thank goodness for DVDs.
