There also are plans to create a film series and present electronic exhibitions and to expand the on-going public lectures. Each screening will be followed by a discussion between filmmakers and the audience. This program is partially sponsored by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council, a stage agency, the Illinois Humanities Council, First Bank of Evanston, North Shore Security and the Playboy Foundation. Parking is available at the Evanston Public Library. The filmmakers will be present for discussion and will bring viewers up to date on Kartemquin s current productions.
Admission is free.
