SUMMARY:Film Screenings: Mother's Heart and Thavary Meas Bong
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a double feature screening of two classic prewar films: Mother’s Heart and Thavary Meas Bong. Screening for the first time in Chicago\, these films are a celebration of early Cambodian filmmakers’ ingenuity\, craftsmanship\, and talents. These early filmmakers’ aim was to make films that Cambodian audiences would be proud to watch but never did they imagine anything beyond the regional screening. As with many Asian Americans\, especially Southeast Asian communities\, there are many stigmas attached to their parents’ generation of war and related trauma. These films highlight a positive cultural production of their own heritage.

SUMMARY:JUAN CARMONA WITH YOUBA ADJRAD AND THE ANDALUSIAN TRAIL
DESCRIPTION:Juan Carmona was only ten years old when his father gave him his first guitar. His passion for the instrument grew and his virtuosity was quickly remarked by professional musicians. Juan’s journey as a professional guitarist took him back to his roots: Jerez de la Frontera in Andalusia. For 9 years\, he absorbed as much as he could in the purest flamenco tradition\, rubbing elbows with some of its biggest names\, like Joaquín Grilo\, Agujetas\, Duquende\, Antonio Canales\, Chano Domínguez and many others. A self-taught musician\, he can boast of having composed his Sinfonía Flamenca and Orillas\, today performed by many orchestras in the world\, including the Sydney Symphony Orchestra (Australia)\, the St Louis Symphony Orchestra (USA)\, and the Russian Philarmony. His albums Alchemya\, Orillas\, Sinfonía Flamenca and El Sentido del Aire were nominated for the Latin GRAMMY. His new album\, Zyriab 6.7\, retraces the journey of the musician-poet Zyriab\, stopping off along the Mediterranean\, from oasis to caravanserai\, covering 6\,743 km from Baghdad to Cordoba.\nThe Andalusian Trail: From Rajasthan\, India to the Middle East\, from North Africa and across the Mediterranean into Andalusia\, Spain\, musical ideas and instruments were exchanged and have contributed to the foundation of Andalusian and flamenco music. Through music\, dance\, and storytelling\, members of Las Guitarras de España and Surabhi Ensemble take to the trail and tell the tale of this shared cultural history from medieval Andalusia to the present. The performance includes original and traditional repertoire of Spanish guitar\, Arab-Andalusian poetry and music\, as well as Rajasthani\, Middle Eastern\, and flamenco folk music and dance.\nPresented by the International Latino Cultural Center of Chicago\, Intercultural Music Production\, and the Old Town School of Folk Music as part of the Ojalá project funded by the Doris Duke Foundation for Islamic Arts.

SUMMARY:Film screening: "Bill Traylor: Chasing Ghosts"
DESCRIPTION:Bill Traylor: Chasing Ghosts is a feature documentary film exploring the life of a unique American artist\, a man with a remarkable and unlikely biography. Bill Traylor was born into slavery in 1853 on a cotton plantation in rural Alabama. After the Civil War\, Traylor continued to farm the land until the 1920s. Aging and alone\, he moved to Montgomery and worked odd jobs in the thriving segregated Black neighborhood. A decade later\, in his late 80s\, Traylor became homeless and started to draw and paint\, both memories from plantation days and scenes of a radically changing urban culture. Traylor devised his own visual language to record the stories of his life\, translating an oral culture into something original\, powerful and culturally rooted. He made well over 1\,000 drawings and paintings between 1939–1942. \nTraylor witnessed profound social and political change during his life spanning slavery\, Reconstruction\, Jim Crow laws and the Great Migration. The transcendent surprise is while Traylor kept to himself\, leading an unassuming life\, he was nurturing a remarkable creative gift that would not be expressed for decades. \nUsing historical and cultural context\, Bill Traylor: Chasing Ghosts brings the spirit and mystery of Traylor’s incomparable art to life. Making dramatic and surprising use of tap dance and evocative period music and spoken word\, the film balances archival photographs and footage\, insightful perspectives from Traylor family members\, and Traylor’s striking drawings and paintings to reveal one of America’s most prominent artists to a wide audience. \nThe film screening will take place in the performance space at Intuit and conclude with a Q&A with Jeffrey Wolf\, director of Bill Traylor: Chasing Ghosts; Juelle Daley\, Assistant Director of University Arts Engagement at the University of Chicago; and Lisa Stone\, independent curator and consultant. The panel will be moderated by Payton Head\, DEI strategist and member of the museum’s Young Professionals Board. \nPlease contact Courtney Thompson at courtney@art.org with questions related to accessibility accommodations. \nPlease check your junk folder for event reminders. Unfortunately\, these emails are sent there sometimes. \n\n\n\n\nAll film screening attendees must follow the museum’s health and safety procedures. Intuit is closely monitoring COVID-19 guidelines established by local\, state and federal authorities and will promptly share information that affects the event. \n\n\n\n\nThis program is funded in part by the Alphawood Foundation\, the Department of Cultural Affairs\, Gaylord and Dorothy Donnelley Foundation\, Illinois Arts Council Agency\, Illinois Humanities\, National Endowment for the Arts\, Prince Charitable Trust\, Terra Foundation for American Art\, and individual donations from Intuit members and supporters. \n\n\n\n\nImage: Photograph by Horace Perry courtesy Alabama State Council on the Arts \n\n\n\n\nBILL TRAYLOR: CHASING GHOSTS (2018)\, 75 min \nWatch the trailer \nDirected by Jeffrey Wolf / Produced by Sam Pollard\, Jeffrey Wolf\, Daphne McWilliams\, Jeany Nisenholz-Wolf and Fred Barron

SUMMARY:Film screening: "SOUTHEAST: a city within a city"
DESCRIPTION:A screening of the film “SOUTHEAST: a city within a city” followed by a Q&A with filmmaker Steven J. Walsh and artist Roman Villarreal. \nThe Southeast side of Chicago is an often overlooked and stigmatized neighborhood\, blocked by an overcast of misguided interpretation. In the documentary SOUTHEAST: a city within a city\, filmmaker Steven J. Walsh strives to shed light on this neighborhood’s near-mythic tale. \nThis community once produced more steel than any other place in the world. It had neighborhoods full of life and culture—many different cultures—but that all ended once the steel mills left. The film brings together builders\, soldiers\, scholars\, gangsters\, musicians and politicians from the Southeast side’s past and present to help explain what happened after the area’s deindustrialization. This film is more than just history; it is a hands-on exploration of what it felt like to live in the neighborhood. See how the streets were then and how they’ve evolved to what they are now. \nThe film screening will take place in the performance space at Intuit and feature a musical performance by Walsh’s grandfather Roger “Coco” Gomez\, whom the film centers on. The program will conclude with a Q&A with filmmaker Steven J. Walsh\, Roger “Coco” Gomez and artist Roman Villarreal\, who is featured in the documentary. \nPlease contact Courtney Thompson at courtney@art.org with questions related to accessibility accommodations. \nThe film screening is free! To show your support to Intuit\, please consider the pay-what-you-can option when you complete your reservation. Your contributions help ensure the sustainability of our public programs and support guest lecturers and teaching artists.

SUMMARY:The Reel Film Club: Costa Rica
DESCRIPTION:Víctor has lived by himself\, tending to his cows\, in the mountains of Costa Rica for decades. He believes his neighbors have ordered their one indigenous employee to spy on him and that they have stolen his favorite cow. His 12-year-old grandson has been sent by his mother to live with Víctor just as the old man’s paranoia and hatred has worsened. News of a fugitive hiding in the mountains adds to the tension\, as well as Víctor’s growing blindness. Gustavo Fallas’s follow-up to “Puerto Padre” (an official selection of the 30th Chicago Latino Film Festival) is a low-key\, fog-shrouded\, unsettling portrait of a man quickly succumbing to his prejudices and demons.

SUMMARY:Film Screening: Two Girls
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening of Chicago director James Fotopoulos’s film “Two Girls.” \nThis is the story of young sisters in the American Midwest left alone with their increasingly unstable mother while their father is fighting in the Civil War. The film traces the girls’ naturally fraught sibling dynamic and the ways that their father’s absence ignites their imagination. When they meet a stranger in the forest they become enchanted by a world of creative work and nature\, a welcome distraction from their volatile mother. Play and the dreamlike space they inhabit provides an expansive and ultimately grounding setting for the girls’ response to war. \nFilmed in Chicago\, this work is an experimentation on a children’s fairy tale. Two Girls features German actress Isolda Dychauk. \nThis event is available for free. \nView the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfREVF44G-w \n“Fotopoulos is a notably talented\, prolific\, and obsessive filmmaker.” – Amy Taubin\, Artforum \n“Perhaps no other moviemaker so categorically denies compartmentalization\, falsifying dichotomies of underground and art film\, narrative and abstraction\, and black box and white cube\, while unabashedly appropriating\, celebrating\, and upturning the conventions of the horror\, sci-fi\, hardboiled\, and melodramatic genres.” – Fantasma: A James Fotopoulos Retrospective – Spectacle \n“Fotopoulos is certainly an auteur who makes up in artistic integrity what he forgoes in mainstream appeal …his films are imbued with unparalleled aplomb.” – Mapping the Obscure: James Fotopoulos Retrospective – Cine-File \n“Fotopoulos\, a filmmaker whose visions are as audacious as they are uncompromising.” – RogerEbert.com \n“There is no shot in a Fotopoulos film or video that does not mine the psychological affect of the frame\, the camera placement\, the lighting\, the lens. ” – Screen Slate \n100 min\nEnglish and German (with subtitles) \nFree parking at 5/3 Bank after 6:00 PM located at Western and Gunnison

SUMMARY:NORTH AMERICAN FILM PREMIERE: “THE DEVIL’S CONFESSION: THE LOST EICHMANN TAPES”
DESCRIPTION:Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center\, in association with MGM Television\, SIPUR\, Toluca Pictures\, Alice Communications\, and Menemsha Films\, will host the North American premiere of The Devil’s Confession: The Lost Eichmann Tapes on January 19\, 2023. \nThe Devil’s Confession: The Lost Eichmann Tapes unearths secret recordings of Adolf Eichmann\, one of the chief architects of the Holocaust’s Final Solution\, which definitively shows his active involvement in the planning and implementation of one of the greatest atrocities in world history. Recorded in Buenos Aires in 1957 by Dutch journalist and former SS-Officer Willem Sassen with the intention to prove the Holocaust did not happen as portrayed and without Hitler’s knowledge\, these tapes show the opposite and expose Eichmann\, in his own voice\, stunningly contradicting claims he made during his eventual trial for crimes against humanity\, war crimes\, and crimes against the Jewish people. The Devil’s Confession: The Lost Eichmann Tapes sheds light on the hidden forces that concealed the recordings\, altering the arc of history as we have understood it for more than 70 years\, and provides irrefutable proof against Holocaust denial and the pernicious antisemitic hatred from which it springs. \nOriginally premiered as the opening film of the renowned documentary festival DOCAVIV and released as a documentary series on Israel’s tv-network KAN 11\, MGM Television\, SIPUR\, Toluca Pictures\, Alice Communications\, Menemsha Films\, and Illinois Holocaust Museum will bring a feature-length version of The Devil’s Confession: The Lost Eichmann Tapes to North America\, beginning with its January 19 premiere in Skokie. The Devil’s Confession: The Lost Eichmann Tapes has already received worldwide attention\, with prominent coverage in The New York Times\, CNN\, NPR\, L’Express\, and The Times of Israel. \nThe film premiere will be followed by a distinguished panel discussion with Director Yariv Mozer\, Executive Producer Emilio Schenker\, and world-renowned Holocaust experts Dr. Michael Berenbaum\, American Jewish University\, and Dr. Peter Hayes\, Professor\, Northwestern University. The discussion will be moderated by Richard Salomon\, Vice President\, Museum Board of Directors. Opening remarks will be given by Steve Stark\, Chairman of Toluca Pictures\, former President of MGM Television\, and Executive Producer of the film. \nThe film is produced by MGM Television\, SIPUR\, Toluca Pictures\, and Alice Communications in association with KAN11\, with the support of The Gesher Multicultural Film Fund\, The New Fund for Cinema & TV\, KADAR Foundation for Culture\, Arts and Science\, Mifal Haipas Council for Arts&Science\, Maimonides Fund\, Avi Chai Foundation\, Jewish Federation of Canada UIA\, Azrieli Foundation\, Ministry of Culture & Sports\, The Israeli Film Council\, and is distributed by Menemsha Films. The series is distributed by MGM. \nTickets: Members: Free; Non-Members: Museum Admission

SUMMARY:Wagner's Nightmare: A Piano & Violin Recital
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Saturday\, February 25th for Wagner’s Nightmare. Wagner’s Nightmare is a tongue-in-cheek send-up to the most controversial and influential artist of all time\, Richard Wagner. It’s culmination is here\, in an album of music Wagner would not like. \nFor better or for worse\, incendiary opinions\, vitriolic identity politics\, and polarizing depictions of national identity are some of the most prevalent themes in today’s discourse. Whether we are enthralled by this mania or exhausted by it\, we cannot escape it. In this emaciated public landscape\, depleted of empathy and nuance\, artists are in a unique position to comment both as insiders and observers to this arena. \nWith this in mind\, we are proud to present this recital tour as the culmination of a nearly two year project in which we reveled in one of classical music’s most incendiary\, vitriolic\, and polarizing figures: Richard Wagner. The man and his music are iconic\, absurd\, and influential…and so are the controversies and outrage that have surrounded him since he set pen to paper. Through essays\, podcasts\, videos on special themes\, and a full length album (released on February 16\, 2023) Wagner’s Nightmare explores in a light-hearted manner\, the reasons why Wagner is so widely admired and roundly derided. There is one theme which unites all these varied activities: whatever we do somehow always circles around a something Wagner famously hated. \nWe hope that by approaching Wagner with equal amounts of praise and pot-shots\, respect and ridicule\, sincerity and satire\, our audiences will reflect on how they themselves regard today’s polarizing\, overwrought\, and sometimes absurd social climate. \nMusical Program will Include: \nMusic by…Johannes Brahms\, Richard Wagner\, Franz Liszt\, Erik Satie…and more! \nDaniel Orsen is a violist in the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra\, prior to which he freelanced in Boston where he performed with A Far Cry\, the Boston Symphony Orchestra\, Fermata Chamber Soloists\, and the Phoenix Chamber Orchestra\, and was the artistic dire ctor of Jamaica Plain Chamber Music. Daniel has performed Mozart’s Sinfonia Concertante with the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra\, and appeared as soloist with the Fermata Chamber Soloists and Oberlin Contemporary Music Ensemble. His festival credits include Krzyzowa\, Ravinia\, Prussia Cove\, Verbier\, and the Perlman Music Program. Daniel has an interest in cultural and intellectual history\, which is manifesting itself here\, in Wagner’s Nightmare. His writing has also been published in The Anglican Way and The Journal of the American Viola Society.  \nDaniel is a native of Pittsburgh\, PA. He was taught and mentored by members of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra\, Credo\, and the Perlman Music Program before his Conservatory with Kim Kashkashian. He plays on a 2013 Philip Injeian viola and a 2014 Benoit Rolland bow\, both specially made for him. \nWith regular engagements in festivals\, concert series\, and competitions in both Europe and the United States\, French-American pianist Pierre-Nicolas Colombat has been recognized by audiences and international juries alike for his collaborative artistry. After publishing his doctoral dissertation (Boston University)\, he moved to Basel\, Switzerland to continue his studies with Jan Schutsz. Through his work as a concert organizer\, writer\, and performer Colombat actively seeks out creative ways to bring the living heritage of classical music into the 21st century. His main duo partners include Daniel Orsen (violist)\, Kathrin Hottiger (soprano)\, and Vinicius Costa (bass-baritone). \nCost: \nFriends of DANK Haus (what is this?): $15\nGeneral Public: $20 \nPlease Note: Free parking is located at 5/3 Bank located at Western and Gunnison Avenue.
