RESFEST|10 CHICAGO
MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART
220 EAST CHICAGO AVENUE (AT N. MICHIGAN)
OCTOBER 19-22

RESFEST's tenth anniversary tour kicks off this Thursday in Chicago at the Museum of Contemporary Art (and in Paris the next day at the Pompidou Centre) before travelling on to another 43 cities in 21 countries on six continents. If you live in the Chicago area, you won't want to miss it, and if you don't, be sure to tell your friends to attend.

Featuring entries from more than 30 countries, this year's festival programming is as international as its itinerary. A number of focused, dynamic short film programs highlight the year's trends and innovations, including State of the Art, RESFEST's flagship showcase of short form work, which starts the weekend; Fear and Trembling, a special late night horror program packed with chills and thrills; and Everything Under the Sun, a survey of recent socially conscious work. By Design returns to catalogue the year's finest motion graphics and broadcast design, while Cinema Electronica and Videos That Rock collect 2006's outstanding music videos. Denis Henry Hennelly and Casey Suchan's sensational documentary Rock the Bells, which plays Saturday night, offers an inside view of the last Wu-Tang concert ever. RESFEST also takes a look back at a decade of pioneering moving image work with a pair of retrospective programs -- Unsung Heroes collects the festival's best videos, and A Decade of RESFEST presents ten seminal short films. Finally, closing out the festival on Sunday night, our unique artist retrospective, Radiohead, the Visionaries, examines the pioneering UK band's career-long support for emerging visual innovators. Check out all that, plus parties and more, this weekend at the MCA!
