Co-presented by Tone Glow

Chicago Filmmakers Firehouse Cinema (1326 W. Hollywood Ave) | Saturday, April 11, 2026 - 8:00PM

In her feature directorial debut, TYCOON (2025), Charlotte Zhang remixes low-budget filmmaking techniques to reimagine a dystopian Los Angeles in the near future, seen through the eyes of two wandering youths. The program opens with DIRTY EYE (2025) by Keng U Lao, a journey through the illusionistic city of Macau—the Las Vegas of the East—blurred by sleights of hand. Charlotte Zhang will be in attendance for Q&A with Chicago film programmer Joshua Minsoo Kim of Tone Glow.

掩眼法 Dirty Eye | Keng U Lao | Macao | 2025 | 14 min | Chicago Festival Premiere
