Chicago Film Society Film Screenings
SUMMER 2023
Presented by the Chicago Film Society
Sponsored by the Department of Communication, Media and Theatre
This summer marks the 20th season of NEIU’s collaboration with the Chicago Film Society. This season, we begin with 1933’s “Man’s Castle.” This pre-Code film starring Spencer Tracy and Loretta Young has never been released on VHS, DVD or Blu-Ray. You can spend your Wednesday nights this summer watching films such as the “The Cranes Are Flying” (the beautiful Soviet film that won the Palme d’Or at the 1958 Cannes Film Festival), “How Green Was My Valley” (the John Ford movie that famously beat “Citizen Kane” for the Best Picture Oscar in 1942), “The Quince Tree Sun” (the 1992 narrative documentary about Spanish painter Antonio López Garcia), or “Losing Ground” the rarely screened film by filmmaker and playwright Kathleen Collins. If that wasn’t enough, we are also screening classic films from John Ford, Kenji Mizoguchi, and Charles Chaplin. Beat the summer heat with beautiful 35mm film prints in the air-conditioned NEIU Auditorium!
All screenings take place at 7:30 p.m. in the NEIU Auditorium
