1. We have a fabulous line-up in store for you at this year’s Talking Pictures Festival –  we are especially thrilled to screen several local films that focus on the arts. 
   

Among them are Andrew Bird: Fever Year, a beautiful portrait of musician Andrew Bird by Chicago filmmaker Xan Aranda; Chicagoan Kelly Luchtman’s Artists in Residence, and Evanston filmmaker Bob Hercules’ Joffrey: Mavericks of American Dance.  Check our website later in February for the full line-up or follow us on Facebook to get regular updates.
