Chicago Underground Film Festival

The 2004 Chicago Underground Film Festival continues this evening at the Three Penny Cinema (2424 N. Lincoln). Nothing but repeats tonight, as CUFF reruns some of the programs of the previous days, to give you another chance to see them. If none of the documentaries catch your eye, then check out Elevator Movie at 9:30, which is described on the CUFF site as "Richard Kern meets John Waters." (And if you know who both of those people are, then you REALLY should see the film.) Tickets are $5 for shows before 7:00, and $7 for screenings after 7:00. See the CUFF Website for a complete schedule; the festival runs through Tuesday, August 24.

Bebel Gilberto

Bebel Gilberto, daughter of Bossa Nova legend Joao Gilberto, will be performing tonight at the Park West. The show starts at 7:30 and tickets are $25. So nice.
