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:The Life and Times of Sultan Süleyman
DESCRIPTION:This program will be held in-person at the Newberry and livestreamed on Zoom. Free and open to all. Advance registration required. \nIn-Person Registration \nLivestream Registration \nJoin us as historian Kaya Şahin\, author of Peerless among Princes: The Life and Times of Sultan Süleyman\, and art historian Elizabeth Rodini discuss the sixteenth-century ruler\, during whose reign the Ottoman Empire became a truly global power. \nSüleyman presided over a multilingual and multireligious empire that promised peace and prosperity to its subjects while he clashed with the Catholic Habsburgs in Europe and the Shiite Safavids in the Middle East. His poetic output\, his appearances during public ceremonies\, his charity\, and his patronage of arts and architecture enhanced his reputation as a universal ruler with a well-rounded character. \nBehind that public façade\, Süleyman led a complicated life. He grew up with an overbearing father whose legacy was an advantage and a burden. Defying established practice\, he married a concubine named Hürrem whose love and affection became his true refuge. Toward the end of his life\, facing both debilitating sickness and the agitations of his sons\, he struggled to remain on the throne. \nPeerless among Princes will be available for purchase in the Newberry Bookshop\, and Dr. Şahin will sign books after the program.

SUMMARY:The Chicago River and Lake Michigan: Confused Waters
DESCRIPTION:Through the years\, the land and water around Chicago have been radically altered. In 1900\, the river was reversed. Meanwhile\, Michigan Avenue by Grant Park used to be lakefront property! Join us as we explore the ebb and flow of our celebrated lake and river. \nStanding at upper Wacker Drive and Columbus\, it’s always astonishing to remember that before 1803\, you would be wading in Lake Michigan. The modifications that have been made to the Chicago River have included dredging\, channeling\, damming\, tunneling\, legal decisions and breaching it at its South Branch headwaters to flow away from Lake Michigan. Likewise\, we have altered the shoreline of Lake Michigan and struggled with it as it fluctuated about six feet from a record low in 2013 to a record high in 2022. \n$15 to Attend\, FREE for CAC Member \nSPEAKER: KEVIN GRIEBENOW\nKevin is a civil engineer with more than 25 years of experience inspecting and assessing the safety of dams. A CAC docent since 1993\, Kevin leads tours for guests of all ages. He has given presentations on structural engineering\, innovations in construction materials\, the construction and engineering feats of the 1893 World’s Fair and the design history of dams.

SUMMARY:LaSalle Street at a Crossroads
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a roundtable conversation exploring ideas for a renewed LaSalle Street corridor\, which currently finds itself at a crossroads. How does an austere financial district transform into a vibrant 24-hour neighborhood\, and who will call this neighborhood home? \nIn many ways\, the fate of the LaSalle Street corridor and the broader downtown are intertwined. If the most viable future for downtown is flexible adaptation to a mix of uses\, there is no better place to test this hypothesis than along this iconic office corridor. Recognizing this\, the City of Chicago recently launched a planning initiative for a reimagined LaSalle Street\, freeing up all-important tax increment financing (TIF) and inviting development proposals. \nHowever\, there are questions about the challenges LaSalle Street must overcome: namely\, what is the prescription for its aging building stock? Will tax incentives be sufficient to spark investment in complex residential conversions and protection of the corridor’s landmark architecture? And how central is a redesign and greening of the public realm to LaSalle’s long-term success or failure? Our roundtable of leading local experts in planning\, design and real estate sets out to find answers. \nThursday\, January 26th at 6 PM (Virtual Event) \n$15 to Attend\, $7 for CAC Members

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
