My Chicago Film Festival Schedule

I love October. It includes my two favorite holidays: Halloween and the Chicago Film Festival. I have put together a tentative schedule of films I want to see. If you want to join me or have suggestions for alternate films, please tweet me @eris404, email me or post a comment.

[EDIT]Jeff has helpfully pointed out that I missed SYNECDOCHE, NEW YORK. Also, due to low funds, I was able to buy only a 10 film pass, which limits my options somewhat. Updated schedule below.

[EDIT TO THE EDIT] Ack! The Wrestler and Synedoche are sold out! Edits below.

Friday, 17 October

Friday is a big night, with 3 films in a row all at the same location (AMC River East).
