A Not Too Distant Past: Film & Video from Underground Chicago
A Not Too Distant Past explores radical politics in Chicago by compiling short films created in the 1960s through the present. Spanning a range of perspectives and styles, the collection focuses on responses to seminal Chicago events such as the Haymarket affair and the assassination of Fred Hampton, alongside the sexual politics of traditionally marginalized groups. In so doing, it contextualizes the history of radicalism in the contemporary political discourse.
