First Tuesdays with the Midwest Independent Film Festival
This event showcases work by Midwest filmmakers on the first Tuesday of the month, providing an opportunity to view upcoming talent, network, or just talk about film. This Tuesday welcomes in Female Filmmakers Night. Cocktails at 6pm, film screens at 7:30pm. Landmark Century Centre Cinema, 2828 N. Clark St., $10-$15.
Letters/X 7 @ Hungry Brain
It's the seventh annual cabaret of exes, break-ups, and all manner of love gone wrong or just stupid: catch it in its last week for awhile (runs through 3/6) at the Hungry Brain (2319 W. Belmont Ave. ), 8pm. Free! And drinks are strong and cheap.
MEET THE OSCARS Chicago @ The Shops at Northbridge
Practice the acceptance speech you know you've been writing since you were a kid at MEET THE OSCARS Chicago, an exhibition brought by Kodak to The Shops at Northbridge, 520 N. Michigan Ave. You can hold and have your photo taken with a real Oscar statuette, learn more about Chicago's own R.S. Owens & Company, which makes the statuettes, and check out Oscars previously awarded to Bette Davis, DuPont Film Manufacturing and Eastman Kodak. This event is free. 10am to 7pm on Level 1 in front of Nordstrom.
