Blaxploitation trailers @ Film Center

The Siskel Film Center presents a 90-minute program of movie trailers for 1970s blaxploitation films. The Film Center calls the blaxploitation trailer " a shot of visual adrenaline -- raunchy, crude, violent, and often hilarious." The fun starts tonight at 8:15 PM. The screening will be introduced by Floyd Webb, founder of the Blacklight Film Festival. Can you dig it? Siskel Film Center: 164 N. State. (312) 846-2600.
