SUMMARY:Finding Your Laughter at Kennedy-King College with the Chicago International Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:In this joyful and moving family portrait\, aspiring Chicago comedian Arlieta lives on the South Side with her aging father Milton Hall\, Sr.\, who has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. Embracing optimism in the face of his affliction and finding inspiration in his own creative work as a radio show host\, Arlieta turns to the techniques of improv (“Yes\, and…”) to affirm and validate Milton’s increasingly murky experience of the world. \nAs Arlieta valiantly juggles the emotionally and financially taxing demands of caregiving\, she also rises through the ranks of improv comedy to find her own voice and a new career. Mixing humor and heartache\, jokes and tears\, Finding Your Laughter tracks Arlieta as she\, along with her “bonus mom” Charmaine\, work to support each other\, and Milton. Together\, they smile through the tears as they endure the inevitable challenges of the progressively degenerative disease. \nLanguage: English\nRun Time: 86 minutes \nAccessibility: Open Captions \nWebsite: https://www.chicagofilmfestival.com/film/finding-your-laughter/

SUMMARY:SUMO: Spirit Weighs Nothing at AMC NEWCITY 14\, Screen 14 with the Chicago International Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:The Japanese sport of sumo goes back centuries\, and its wrestlers (rikishi) are more than just athletes. Marked by their heavyweight physique\, topknot hairstyle\, and traditional garb (mawashi)\, they epitomize aspects of Japan’s premodern culture and Shinto beliefs and rituals. This exquisitely crafted documentary follows a group of Sumo wrestlers at different stages of their careers—from one veteran champion to several rising newcomers—as they strive to become the best and toss their opponents to the ground or outside the ring. \nChicago-raised filmmaker Erik Shirai returns to the Festival after his 2015 nonfiction triumph The Birth of Saké with another luminous snapshot of a Japanese tradition elevated from the material to the spiritual. The film’s muted color palette and superb compositions imbue the proceedings with an elegance and timelessness befitting its centuries-old subject matter. Closely observing the wrestlers’ strict training protocols and daily routines (which include lots of rice-eating)\, the film brings to life the visceral experience and high-stakes suspense of the ancient sport. \n\nLanguage: Japanese\, Mongolian\nRun Time: 99 minutes \nAccessibility: Closed Captions\, Audio Description \nWebsite: https://www.chicagofilmfestival.com/film/sumo-spirit-weighs-nothing/

SUMMARY:Bob and David Climb Machu Picchu at Music Box Theatre with the Chicago International Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:What happens when comedians Bob Odenkirk and David Cross—the famous co-creators of Mr. Show—take a grueling trek across the Inca Trail in the Andes Mountains? A lot of jovial ribbing\, chewing of coca leaves\, and even some autograph requests. In this irreverent buddy-road-trip movie\, Bob and David\, accompanied by a friendly guide who seems in on every joke\, overcome physical adversity and their own relentless quipping to complete a journey that celebrates the wonders of Peruvian culture and sees the comic artists at their witty best. \nWith a healthy dose of Mr. Show-like gags\, the film also has a more serious side\, exploring the lingering psychological and physical effects of the life-threatening heart attack Odenkirk suffered in 2021 while filming the final season of Better Call Saul. As the two performers take their final steps to reach Machu Picchu\, their adventure becomes much more than just another joke\, and what emerges is a surprisingly tender portrait of male friendship and mid-to-late-life crisis. \nLanguage: English\nRun Time: 80 minutes \nAccessibility: Closed Captions \nWebsite: https://www.chicagofilmfestival.com/film/bob-and-david-climb-machu-picchu/
