The Chicago Film Archives is producing the first ever retrospective of the life, work and times of late Chicago Filmmaker, Howard Alk.

This program will include a screening of Festival, a film about the time when folk songs wove themselves into the imagination of youth who saw hope for a new and better society.

Director Murray Lerner will lead a discussion about the film.
