Ira Sachs Interview

<description>Episode #23
On this special episode of the Cine-Cast, co-managing editor Kat Sachs interviews London-based non-fiction filmmaker Charlie Shackleton about his 2021 film THE AFTERLIGHT (82 min, 35mm), which screens Wednesday at 7:30pm, at Northeastern Illinois University, as part of the Chicago Film Society's new season. Sachs and Shackleton chat about TikTok, what makes this a particularly unique screening, and why the print's first real scratch will be a rite of passage. This event is the essence of Crucial Viewing—it’s a singular film-going experience that you're unlikely to encounter again. Preceded by Paul Weiland's 1991 short MR. BEAN GOES TO A PREMIÈRE (6 min, 35mm), selected by Shackleton from the Chicago Film Society's collection.

2021 Round Table!

To kick off Episode #20 of the Cine-Cast, Associate Editor Ben Sachs talks with contributors John Dickson and Steve Erickson about a wide range of new releases and upcoming revival screenings. The conversation touches on everything from Fritz Lang's RANCHO NOTORIOUS (screening on 35mm at the Music Box Theatre the first weekend in October) to James Wan's MALIGNANT (now playing in general release), then settles into a far-reaching discussion of WIFE OF A SPY, the first period piece by Cine-File favorite Kiyoshi Kurosawa (that film opens at the Gene Siskel Film Center on September 24). Next, Associate Editor Kathleen Sachs and contributor Megan Fariello interview experimental filmmaker Jennifer Boles about her short THE REVERSAL, which will play on a loop on the limestone wall of the McCormick Bridgehouse and River Museum on the Chicago Riverwalk on the night of September 30.
