Begun in 1964 by filmmaker and graphic artist Michael Kutza, the Chicago International Film Festival opens today, Oct. 13, and continues through Oct. 24, 2021.
The 7 p.m. showing of the French Dispatch maybe sold out but try for Halloween Kills at 10 p.m. They are at the Music Box Theatre, 3733 N. Southport, Chicago. Oh, and wear a costume for the 10 p.m. show.
Or at 7 p.m. go to ChiTown Movies, a drive-in at 2343 S. Throop St., to see The Velvet Underground.
