SHORT TAKES Program Description:
This program takes us from some of Palazzolo's earliest experimental and documentary films including O (1967), The Tattoed Lady of Riverview (1968), and Campaign (1968) to later shorts like Rita on the Ropes (2002) and Hey Girls (1990), a funny "instructional" film made in collaboration with his SAIC film students and featuring Chicago filmmaker and cartoonist Heather McAdams. Filmed during the early days of Chicago's Pride Parade, Gay for a Day(1976) is a wonderful time capsule, while It's This Way at Deel Ford (1980) is a hilarious behind-the-scenes look at the filming of a car dealership commercial. Filmmaker Tom Palazzolo in person!
