Schedule of Events:

4:30 PM - Save the Children; Dir. Stan Lathan; 1973 (123 min)

In 1972, Jesse Jackson held his Operation PUSH (People United to Save Humanity) exhibition in Chicago that featured an all-star lineup of some of the era’s most successful Black artists, including Roberta Flack, Marvin Gaye, the Jackson 5, Curtis Mayfield, and Bill Withers. Paramount Pictures documented the event for a theatrical release in 1973, then the film fell off the radar…until now.

7:00 PM - I Am Trying To Break Your Heart; Dir. Sam Jones; 2002 (92 min)

Before the screening, view items signed by members of Wilco and enter a raffle to win them

This documentary from photographer Sam Jones follows the creation and distribution of Wilco’s fourth studio album, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. Jones captures the eternal tug-of-war battle between art and commerce, as the band butts heads with Reprise, gets dropped by their record label, then streams the album on their website for free and receives critical acclaim. The film is a treat for Wilco fans but also exposes the workings of a profit-driven music industry.
