Chicago Film Club Screening "Strangers on a Train" with Discussion
Location: The Venue at Daystar Center
When: Tuesday, April 14th, 2015 | 6:30PM

 (1951) When an amateur tennis star (Farley Granger) meets a rather strange and disturbed man (Robert Walker) on a train, a weird nightmare begins. Bruno Anthony (Walker) tries to convince tennis player Guy Haines (Granger) that they should "swap murders." Anthony goes on to explain how much he'd like to get rid of his father and that he's read how his failed marriage to Miriam (Laura Elliot) is getting in the way of his relationship with Anne Morton (Ruth Roman). While Guy laughs off the swapping murder idea proposition, Bruno takes it seriously and kills Guy's wife. When Guy fails to murder Bruno's father, Bruno threatens to expose Guy as a murderer, destroying his tennis career and his relationship with Anne. Considered one of director Alfred Hitchcock's best films, it includes one of the most memorable climaxes in movie history.

Elephant Room 'Custom Culture' Exhibit
Location: 704 S. Wabash
When: April 3 - May 9, 2015

 

Elephant Room is proud to present "Custom Culture", an exhibition of new works by 3 dynamic, emerging artists. SentRock, Sam Kirk & Tubs were chosen to exhibit at the SCOPE Miami Beach Art Fair in December 2014 after being selected as winners from Red Bull Curates: Canvas Cooler Project in Chicago. This connection is what brought about the conversation of the 3 artists exhibiting together and the cultural inspiration in all of their works is a visually engaging common element that solidifies the grouping.
