The 45th Annual Chicago International Film Festival starts this week on Thursday October 8th. This year's festival kicks off with Uma Thurman's Motherhood and ends on October 22nd with a screening of The Young Victoria. One thing that sets this year's festival apart is that all films will be screened in ONE location, the AMC River East 21. If you're a film buff you won't have to take a car or cab from venue to venue to make it to more than one screening. This is a great opportunity to not only see well regarded first run films on their first trip to the Midwest before wider release, but you can also gain some access to behind the scenes perspectives with appearances from Uma Thurman, Martin Landau, and Willem Dafoe. Of course, you can always do your homework here at the library and check out other films by festival directors (Lars Von Treir, Tsai Ming-Liang, Ken Loach) and actors (Charlotte Gainsbourg, Emily Blunt) to compliment the festival screenings.
