Closing Night Film! Theodore Witcher in Person! Tickets This film is apart of our "Black Harvest Film Festival 2017": One show only! Twentieth Anniversary screening: August 31 Free of stereotypes and sexism, this refreshingly mature romance by Columbia College Chicago graduate Theodore Witcher uses Hyde Park and Wicker Park locations (plus a gorgeously misty Buckingham Fountain) to tell the story of a writer (Tate) and a photographer (Long) who meet over a cup of verse at a beat poetry bar and then find that going to bed is easier than sustaining a relationship. We are pleased to present a twentieth anniversary screening of the film with Witcher in person. Archival 35mm print courtesy of Academy Film Archive. Writer-director Theodore Witcher is scheduled to appear for audience discussion. Following the show, ticket-holders are invited to a reception sponsored by Tesori Trattoria & Grill and MillerCoors.
