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 Search for the Lost Self, a film about new educational techniques in the treatment of children with autism and schizophrenia, and Cry of Jazz, a film that compares the musical jazz form to the African American experience.

Filmmaker Ed Bland, and WBEZ’s Alison Cuddy will lead a discussion about the films.
