Film Screening Added!
Join us for a screening of Sam Mendes’ award-winning 2019 British World War I film 1917, with a special appearance by Team Deakins — legendary cinematographer and film production experts Sir Roger Deakins and James Deakins. The Deakins will be on-site before the screening for a live recording of their acclaimed Team Deakins Podcast. The podcast explores cinematography, the film business, and answers questions from listeners, often leading to unexpected and fascinating conversations.
For this live episode, they’ll be joined by Chicago-based location scout Stefan Nikolov, who will share his experience and insights into this lesser-known but crucial aspect of filmmaking, and together with Roger and James, they’ll dive into the challenges and rewards of working in the industry. All ticketholders will have the opportunity to submit questions for Team Deakins and Stefan Nikolov. Look out for an email with submission instructions!
About 1917: “April 6th, 1917. As an infantry battalion assembles to wage war deep in enemy territory, two soldiers are assigned to race against time and deliver a message that will stop 1,600 men from walking straight into a deadly trap.”
