Edwardian film footage @ Film Center

A pretty amazing documentary is playing at the Siskel Film Center this week. Called Electric Edwardians: The Films of Mitchell & Kenyon, the film shows footage that was shot in Edwardian Britain between 1901 and 1905, and shows various aspects of everyday life from a century ago. Sounds like an amazing historical document, and a fascinating film. Electric Edwardians screens tonight at the Film Center at 6:00 PM, and on Wednesday the 20th at 8:00 PM. Tickets are $9, $5 for Film Center members, and $4 for SAIC students. Film Center: 164 N. State. (312) 846-2600.
