SUMMARY:"Digging Deeper Into Movies" Film Talk And the Oscars Go To… at Alliance Française de Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Once again\, we will spend the Saturday morning before the Academy Awards “digging deeper” into some of this year’s most provocative nominees. This year\, Oscar’s ballot aligns closely with ChicagoIFF’s programming\, not just by sharing several titles in common but by showcasing a lively diversity of international cinema as well as English-language films that dwell in complex ways on ideas of nation and nationality. After an hour or so of clips and commentary\, we will shift into 20 minutes of Q&A. Attendees will vote on their own favorites\, with winners announced at the end of the session. \nRecommended viewing: The Brutalist (in cinemas)\, Emilia Pérez (Neflix)\, Flow (multiple streaming services)\, or The Girl with the Needle (multiple streaming services) \nPlease note: The discussion does not include screenings of films. \nAccessibility: captioned \nhttps://www.chicagofilmfestival.com/event/diggingdeeper-oscars/

SUMMARY:Betrayal - Audio-Described Performance at Goodman Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Stage and screen stars Helen Hunt (Oscar\, Emmy\, Golden Globe Awards)\, Robert Sean Leonard (Tony Award) and Ian Barford (Tony Award nominee) form the “eternal triangle” in Susan V. Booth’s major revival of Pinter’s famed masterwork. \nEmma\, Robert and Jerry have history. As her marriage to Robert comes to an end\, Emma reconnects with Jerry\, her former lover—and her husband’s best friend—as the action unspools backward in time in an inventive retelling by the Nobel Prize-winning playwright. At once utterly domestic and dangerous\, uncovering hidden truths and revealing how little we know about those we think we know so much about\, it’s an “elegy about time and memory (where) the greatest dramatic weight lies in what’s unspoken” (New York Times). \nTouch Tour: 12:30pm\nPerformance: 2pm \nAccessibility: Audio Description\, Touch Tour \nhttps://www.goodmantheatre.org/show/betrayal/

SUMMARY:Debate: Baldwin vs. Buckley - Audio Described Performance
DESCRIPTION:Following critically acclaimed runs in New York City and London\, TimeLine will create a site-specific\, immersive Chicago premiere of the american vicarious’ imagining of the historic debate between James Baldwin and William F. Buckley Jr.\, on the occasion of the event’s 60th anniversary. \n“Is the American Dream at the expense of the American Negro?” This was the topic on February 18\, 1965 when an overflow crowd packed the Cambridge Union in Cambridge\, England\, to bear witness to a historic televised debate between James Baldwin\, the leading literary voice of the civil rights movement\, and William F. Buckley Jr.\, a fierce critic of the movement and America’s most influential conservative intellectual. The stage was set for an epic confrontation that pitted Baldwin’s call for a moral revolution in race relations against Buckley’s unabashed elitism and implicit commitment to white supremacy. This historic clash reveals the deep roots and lasting legacy of racial conflict that continues to haunt America. \nDebate: Baldwin vs. Buckley will feature Teagle F. Bougere as Baldwin and Eric T. Miller as Buckley in the cast. Additional casting and production team members are to be announced. \nThis performance features narration about visual elements of the production around the dialogue\, available for individual patrons via headphones. \nPlease note: Touch Tours can be arranged for patrons attending the audio described performance of Debate. Please reach out to Kellyn Henthorn at kellyn@timelinetheatre.com to request a Touch Tour.

SUMMARY:You Didn’t Hear This From Me: (Mostly) True Notes on Gossip with Kelsey McKinney at Athenaeum Center for Thought & Culture
DESCRIPTION:It’s no secret that society is consumed with the concept of “gossip”—is it good\, bad\, or somewhere in between? Kelsey McKinney\, host of the massively popular Normal Gossip podcast\, joins Chicago Humanities to explore our obsession with gossip\, weaving together journalism\, cultural criticism\, and personal stories. McKinney’s newest book You Didn’t Hear This From Me considers the murkiness of everyday storytelling. Why is gossip considered a sin and how can we better recognize when gossip is being weaponized against the oppressed? Why do we think we’re entitled to every detail of a celebrity’s personal life because they are a public figure? And how do we even define “gossip\,” anyway? She dishes on the art of eavesdropping and dives deep into how pop culture has changed the way that we look at hearsay. With wit and honesty\, McKinney unmasks what we’re actually searching for when we demand to know the truth—and how much the truth really matters in the first place. \nJoin us early for a free pop-up experience complete with interactive components\, knick-knacks\, and\, of course\, plenty of gossip. (A bar will also be available on-site!) This will take place from 6:00pm–7:00pm in the Paradiso room\, located just off the main atrium upon entry. \nAccessibility: Open captions and Assistive Listening Devices. \nhttps://www.chicagohumanities.org/events/attend/kelsey-mckinney/
