Sound Opinions at the Movies July 28, 2011

The popular Sound Opinions at the Movies series will screen the Talking Heads’ Stop Making Sense as part of The Music Box Theatre Summer Music Film Festival Closing Night, at the Music Box Theatre, 3733 N. Southport Avenue, Thursday evening, July 28 at 7:30 p.m. Chicago Public Media’s Sound Opinions, the world’s only rock ‘n’ roll talk show, is co-hosted by acclaimed pop music critics Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune and Jim DeRogatis of WBEZ.org and airs on more than 90 radio stations around the country.

Sound Opinions presents the Closing Night of the first Music Box Theatre Summer Music Film Festival, which runs July 25-28. Following the screening of Stop Making Sense will be an encore presentation of the Midwest Premiere of The Swell Season (at 9:45 p.m.), documenting the collaboration – and relationship - of musicians Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova as they filmed the critically acclaimed Once, in 2008. The Music Box Theatre Summer Music Film Festival will present six films (two of which have never been screened theatrically in Chicago) including old favorites, brand new films, and underground icons. Audiences will experience these films on the big screen, the way they were meant to be seen and in an atmosphere of music and film unparalleled in the Chicago Summer music festival scene. The Festival is presented by The Music Box Theatre, Sound Opinions, and CIMM FEST (Chicago International Movies &Music Festival).
