Veggie Bingo @ Hideout

If you liked the wildly successful Soup and Bread series at the Hideout from earlier this year, then you'll love Veggie Bingo, which brings together bingo and food--a weekly event where participants play the venerable old-school game and win locally made or grown prizes such as a jar of honey, a bar of soap...and the grand prize being a box of produce from Irv and Shelley's (whoa!). Event runs Wednesdays beginning July 8 through September 9 from 6-8pm at the Hideout, 1354 West Wabansia; cards are $1 each (six for $5) and can be purchased onsite. Hot dogs and tofu pups will be served, so all your early evening needs will be met. All proceeds benefit NeighborSpace.

Giraffes @ the Chicago Cultural Center

Cinema/Chicago, the presenter of the Chicago International Film Festival, once again is teaming up with Chicago's various consulates and cultural organizations to present the sixth annual International Summer Screening Program at the Chicago Cultural Center (77 E. Randolph Street).

The August 8th screening of Giraffes is presented by the Consulate General of Israel to the Midwest. The directorial debut of Israeli film and television star Tzahi Grad, Giraffes follows three women on one confusing night. Avigail, Dafna, and Efrat all end up in the places they are not supposed to be, and when one of their taxi drivers is discovered dead and Efrat finds a great deal of money it gets even more screwy. As the plot's twists and turns begin to iron out, we see that what we thought was right might not be in this engaging film.

Admission is free and seating is on a first come, first served basis. Screening starts at 6:30 pm.
