Northwest Chicago Film Society
Wednesday 09/4/13 7:30 PM - 12/28/13
The Northwest Chicago Film Society proudly announces its first full slate of feature films at the Patio Theater, running from Sept. 4 to Dec. 28. As always, the season includes classic features, archival rediscoveries, oddball independent productions, and more--all presented at the most beautiful theater in Chicago on that most elusive, effervescent, and endangered of media: 35mm motion picture film. We hope there's a little something for everyone: Greta Garbo laughs, Steven McQueen sings, giant grasshoppers invade Michigan Ave, and a renegade computer takes over the world.
9/4 - 7:30 PM - 80 min
