By Andrew Gill‘Sound Opinions’ presents the second annual Chicago Summer Music Film Festival
By Andrew GillOur colleagues at Sound Opinions helped select five films to screen at the historic Music Box Theatre, including Shut Up and Play The Hits (LCD Soundsystem doc) and the elusive Fever Year (Andrew Bird doc).
For its opening night the fest chose two classic music documentaries: Monterey Pop (7:30) and Gimme Shelter (9:15). These two films document a very short period of time that changed popular music.
We’re offering 50 pairs of guest list spots for this double-header screening. Just leave your name in a comment on this post- the first fifty people to comment will have their names on the list Monday at the Music Box.
