SUMMARY:Keep Stepping Screening (Australia) at Chicago Cultural Center
DESCRIPTION:SYNOPSIS\nIn Sydney\, Gabi and Patricia train to compete in Destructive Steps\, Australia’s largest street dance competition. Both are pushing themselves mentally and physically in hopes that winning the contest will open new doors and possibilities for a better life. The film spans seven years and provides viewers with intimate access to the breathtaking artform of street dancing. Keep Stepping illuminates the multicultural\, passion-filled subculture and tells a moving story about love\, obsession\, and the transformative power of dance.\nSummer Screenings is Cinema/Chicago’s annual free film series that casts a spotlight on a different country’s national cinema each week all summer. DIRECTED BY Luke Cornish \nCinema has always been fascinated with the city as a “character”— a living\, breathing organism that shapes the world around it. This program showcases the myriad ways in which cities are depicted in cinema and how people live\, love\, move through\, and seek connection in urban spaces.\nFeaturing stories set in cities all around the globe—from the bustling cafes of Bogotá to the seaside cityscapes of Gothenburg and Galway to glittering black and white portraits of Taipei and Seoul to the streets\, skyways\, rivers\, and trains right here in Chicago—these films express the rich\, diverse personalities of cities on screen and how they mold and influence how we live.\nFilms are unrated. Viewer discretion is advised. \nTickets are available to claim 2 weeks before the screening. \nAccessibility

SUMMARY:Disney's BEAUTY AND THE BEAST at Chicago Shakespeare - ASL Duo-interpretation
DESCRIPTION:ASL Duo-interpretation: Sat\, August 12 at 11:00 a.m. \nThis summer\, fall under the spell of this “tale as old as time” based on the Academy Award-winning Disney film.

If those lessons aren’t learned soon\, the Beast and his household will be doomed for all eternity. \nAccessibility: ASL interpreted \nhttps://www.chicagoshakes.com/plays_and_events/disneysbeautyandthebeast
