SUMMARY:Chicago International Film Festival - The Visitors (Open Captions)
DESCRIPTION:The Visitors Návštěvníci\nDIRECTED BY Veronika Lišková\nRUN TIME 85 minutes \nSYNOPSIS\nAfter a young Czech anthropologist\, Zdenka\, moves with her family to the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard to study how life is changing for this unique polar community\, she quickly falls in love with her new home. But all is not sweeping Arctic beauty and quiet serenity in one of the world’s northernmost inhabited areas. Besides the threat of melting glaciers and thinning permafrost\, Zdenka soon discovers a central tenant of Svalbard’s social policy—which allows citizens from all over the world to work there without a visa—is fueling deep-seated tensions in the area. With a mixture of beautiful Nordic vistas and icy psychological conflict\, The Visitors is a remarkably prescient and humanistic story illuminating how the climate crisis\, economics\, and immigration are inextricably intertwined.

SUMMARY:Chicago International Film Festival - Bard (Open Captions)
DESCRIPTION:DIRECTED BY Álfrún Örnólfsdóttir\nRUN TIME 87 minutes \nSYNOPSIS\nIf This Is Spinal Tap had been centered on an all-female group of Icelandic performance-artist musicians\, it would look a lot like Band. singer-turned-filmmaker Álfrún Örnólfsdóttir’s hilarious and poignant portrait of the misadventures of her Post Performance Blues Band. Renowned in the underground Reykjavik music scene since 2016 for their electro-punk sound and spandex-clad modernist dance moves\, Álfrún and her friends Saga and Hrefna\, nearing 40\, double down on their artistic pursuits: They give themselves one year to become avant-garde pop stars—or relinquish their ambitions once and for all. Filled with absurdist humor and hard-to-believe-it’s-real moments\, Band is a colorful\, zany\, and subversively heartfelt celebration of adult friendship and an ode to boldly\, if also somewhat recklessly\, pursuing your dreams.
