The Gene Siskel Film Center welcomes you to the 15th anniversary edition of the Black Harvest International Festival of Film and Video, from August 7 though September 3. Talent shines brightly through all four weeks of this unique celebration of the black experience on film. We put the spotlight on our own Chicago filmmakers as we continue to highlight adventurous new work from around the nation and around the world.

The Stockyard Institute is a collaborative artist project in Chicago that explores and designs ideas in and around pedagogy, learning and living in the city. We are hooked on radio waves and use vocalo as a youth radio station and experimental audio outposts for our works. Jim Duignan has spent years making tape recordings in Chicago from random, early interviews to audio documentaries of projects and sections to larger installations. Recently Jim has joined forces with Brian Fadden to collect stories from Chicago blues artists. www.stockyardinstitute.org

I am the How Are You Doing Project ==> http://howareyoudoingproject.com.

The How Are You Doing Project is an audio art project. It’s an attempt to recognize both the beauty in the everyday and the importance in taking the time to ask one another about our lives. The How Are You Doing Project is an exercise in everyday empathy.

Every week I post audio from the How Are You Doing Project hotline, 1-800-737-6045, on the How Are You Doing Project website.

How Are You Doing Today? Let us know! Call 1-800-737-6045
