Past seven days

I think I've said previously, there is a film festival catering to almost any interest. Here in Chicago we have the usual fests focusing on a certain foreign region, such as the European Union, Israel, or South Asia, but also topics like food, bikes, comedy shorts, or the LGBT community.

This week I am catching a few screenings at the Chicago International Children's Film Festival.  The line-ups are mostly short films that are collected into various age ranges, with those for younger audiences screened earlier in the day.  I'm pretty impressed with some of the short documentaries in some of the programs for older kids and teens.
