2013 Chicago Underground Film Festival
2013 Chicago Underground Film Festival
March 6–10, 2013
at the Logan Theatre, 2646 N Milwaukee Ave (map)
The Chicago Underground Film Festival opens tonight with a double 16mm projector performance by Sandra Gibson, Luis Recoder and Olivia Block, and new video work by Jesse Malmed. If you’re in Chicago, or the Chicago area, and you’re reading this, you better make it out to a CUFF screening. The CHI city weather might be sloppy and frightful, but the movies are abstruse and delightful.
This year’s CUFF features new work by Matt McCormick, Jim Trainor, Jesse McLean, Mark Toscano, Jesse Malmed, Kent Lambert, Jodie Mack, Robert Todd, Ben Rivers, Bryan Boyce, Deborah Stratman, Dani Leventhal, Mike Olenick, and more.
Below is the quick schedule for the 2013 Chicago Underground Film Festival. All screenings take place at the Logan Theatre (2646 N Milwaukee Ave).
