  1. Chicago Underground Film Fest finds a fitting home

    Nearly 20 years after it was founded, the Chicago Underground Film Fest remains (perhaps appropriately) a relatively underground event. Two decades is a milestone, though, especially if you're talking about a fest that brands itself as the home of "defiantly independent" filmmakers. I give a lot of credit to artistic director Bryan Wendorf, who hasn't really had to compromise his initial vision. A quick glance at this year's lineup (starting Wednesday and running through March 10) shows that CUFF once again brings the perplexing, the wonderfully offbeat and strange to our city's movie screens.

  6. Martinis and Mistletoe

    The Junior League of Chicago hosted its annual Martinis and Mistletoe kickoff party Nov. 16 for its 41st Gazebo Holiday Market. This festive evening at the Chicago Cultural Center offered a first look at a variety of holiday gifts, jewelry, home decor and more from vendors around the country. In addition to donating a portion of their proceeds to the Junior League, many vendors took their giving a step further. Liz Eavey offered a monthly baby gift service called "Stork Stack." For each subscription sold, she donates a stack of baby products to a family in need. Debbie Davis and Brenda Wolfe's bracelets, purses and scarves were sold to raise funds for the Bickford Land Clinic for Mothers and Children, an HIV/AIDS clinic in Vietnam. Kimberly Blanding's "Gift It Green" offered eco-chic reusable gift boxes. There was vintage jewelry from LuLu's at the Belle-Kay, as well as modern pieces from K. Amato. Colleen Graneto's "La Pucara" collection supports Ecuadorean artisans whose handcrafted designs are created from seeds found in the Amazon rain forest.

  7. Lyric creative team talks 'Bel Canto,' Ars Viva tackles elusive Sibelius symphony

    No opera company faces a more formidable task than commissioning a new opera, assembling the forces needed to bring it to fruition and nursing it through the long and sometimes painful process leading up to the premiere. But such undertakings are vital if opera houses are not to become museums mired in the musty past.
