The next night, May 30, is not to be missed with two programs of short films that include two incredible standout, award-winning films. First is Kent Lambert‘s masculine video game and pop culture meditation Reckoning 3; second is Mike Olenick‘s gorgeously creepy supervillain serial killer drama Red Luck.

The mighty and all-powerful Chicago Underground Film Festival has done the absolute unthinkable: Reached their 20th year of operation! How many underground festivals have accomplished that feat? None, until now! Well, “now” being March 6-10 at the fest’s new location: The Logan Theatre.
