Blade Runner: Final Cut @ Music Box
The Music Box Theatre presents the return of the 1982 classic Blade Runner, this time in the absolutely final re-edited director-approved version you will ever have to see. Maybe. Anyway, the film starts tonight; check the Music Box Website for showtimes. Music Box Theatre: 3733 N. Southport. (773) 871-6604.
Something Else! Community Festival @ Spertus Institute of Jewish Studies
A free event open to the public, this year the festival features the hip-rabbi rocker Rav Shmuel, who has performed across the country and recently released his debut album, Protocols, which Billboard magazine praised as “likeably shaggy folk-pop.” Other family activities include puppet shows, face painting, storytelling and more, as well as refreshments and a chance for patrons to tour the new Spertus building. 11a.m.-2p.m. 610 S. Michigan Ave. For more info, call 312-932-9950.
