Chicago Premiere of SISTER CARRIE
December 16, 2022 - December 20, 2022
The Gene Siskel Film Center is thrilled to present the Chicago premiere of SISTER CARRIE, a new film directed by Chicago filmmaker (and Film Center alumnus) Daniel Nearing (CHICAGO HEIGHTS, HOGTOWN), with a live orchestral score provided by members of the Emory University Symphony Orchestra and featuring a conversation with lead actors Eve Rydberg (Banana Season, Make-Out Party), Fabrice Calmels (Joffrey Ballet, The Big Leap), and Cameron Knight (Blue Bloods, The Orville), composer Paul Bhasin (HOGTOWN). The film is a visually rich, black-and-white tone poem about romantic love and conscience.

Two additional screenings with a live orchestral score (at regular $12 admission prices) will take place Saturday, December 17 at 4:00 PM & 6:30 PM. An Art Film Formal dress code (black t-shirt to Black Tie) is also suggested for 6:30pm screening on Saturday, December 17.
