The Chicago Film Archives is producing the first ever retrospective of the life, work and times of late Chicago Filmmaker, Howard Alk.

This program will include a screening of The Seasons Change and Luxman Baul's Movie. The Seasons Change was made to counter the official City of Chicago version of police conduct during the 1968 Democratic Convention. Luxman Baul's Movie is a documentary about the Baul singers in rural West Bengal.

Charlie Capwell, a specialist in the music of the Bauls in Bengal, will lead a discussion about the films.
