About:
Join the RSU and local artists Jenasais, DJ Daddy Wannie, CigaretteSergeant, Qualia, and DJ Culebra for a night of techno and collective struggle! This show is in collaboration with Immersion Chicago, a new, local techno collective that aims to make techno political again. Less than 50 years ago, Chicago’s techno and house scene was born as a joyful gathering of the oppressed and outcasted. Today, there’s hardly a trace of the counter-cultural and vocally political attitude our city’s live music once had. The collective rejects the monopoly that private equity holds over Chicago’s music scene. Immersion says “DIY will always be the answer - be the change you wanna see in the world!”

About Susie McCollum:
With old soul vulnerability and a rich vocal palette, indie artist Susie McCollum lives at the intersection of raw emotion and refined craft. Originally from New York City and now based in Chicago, McCollum blends timeless songwriting with a contemporary edge - drawing inspiration from artists like Joni Mitchell, Norah Jones, and Amy Winehouse.
A lifelong student of music, McCollum’s journey spans opera, theater, jazz, R&B, & folk - providing an eclectic background that informs her textured, authentic sound. Her mesmerizing and poetic lyricism is fueled by compassion, wit, and an insatiable curiosity about the human experience. Susie is also a self-taught guitarist - a pandemic hobby turned renewed sense of artistic purpose.
Susie arrived on the scene with the celebrated single “New Year’s Eve” in 2022, praised by A&R Factory as a “part-love song, part-indie-soulful ode to bittersweet tradition.” Her 2024 debut EP Tempt My Fate captivated audiences as "stirring and uniquely powerful” (CLOUT Magazine) for its soulful vocal and poignant songwriting. She has worked alongside artists like Christopher, Nep, and Marielle Kraft, while most recently co-writing “I Should Lose You” with indie-pop artist Jenny Kern. In addition to singing, writing, and producing, Susie has also honed her skills as a recording engineer - enabling her to truly inhabit every layer of the creative process.
Susie released her highly anticipated single “Abigail” on October 24th, whose "dreamy hush works medicinally; it doesn’t push catharsis, it coaxes it" (Uranium Waves). The work is fueled by finding a home within oneself and asking: what does it mean to truly grow up… and do we ever?
Through heartfelt melodies and soul-stirring lyrics, Susie invites listeners into a shared space of introspection and re-invention - marking her a singular and invaluable talent in today’s music scene.
About Andrew Hoyt:
Andrew Hoyt is a full-time touring singer/songwriter blending folk, pop, and acoustic vibes into a sound that’s both warm and unique. He’s performed at major venues like Wells Fargo Arena and shared the stage with artists such as AJR, Jesse McCartney, David Archuleta and Eric Hutchinson. His latest EP, Kind of Paradise, produced by Nashville’s Lucas Morton and mixed by Micah Tawlks, marks a new chapter in his artistry. The project features songs co-written with acclaimed artists Matt Wertz and Andy Davis, weaving heartfelt lyrics with melodies that feel like sunshine and nostalgia.
About Josh Trimble:
Josh Trimble is an independent multi-media artist based out of Chicago, Illinois. His trifecta of focus is poured into music, film, and photography. His debut project, “Love & Adolescence” serves as the flagship of his creative offerings. The 10-song album has been officially printed to physical copies and can be purchased through direct inquiry. The project will be accompanied by a self-written, directed, and acted film consisting of 6 of the album's featured tracks.
Pulling influence from the likes of Jeff Buckley, Bon Iver, Jordan Rakei, and Madison Cunningham, Josh’s music weaves bold storytelling into the throws of his siren-like melodies and fervent guitar playing.
His most recent digital release, "Vagary", is the lead-single off of the album and delivers a story of love & loss illustrated by achey cellos and aleatoric vocals.

About:
Presented by journalist Alexandra Salomon and followed by a post-screening conversation with director Susan Dobinsky, artist Sandra Antongiorgi, and photographer Ivan Justiniano.In the late 1980s, filmmakers Susan Dobinsky and Julia Kurtz were at work on Street Signs, a film about murals and muralists in Chicago. They filmed street scenes punctuated by images of the powerful and colorful murals in the city’s Pilsen, Little Village, West Town, and Humboldt Park neighborhoods, along with interviews with artists, educators, students, and activists who lived on these communities. When Dobinsky and Kurtz began the project, their objective was to make a film about the way murals become a means of communication within and outside of immigrant communities. Their plan was to explore the social and psychological aspects of murals, and the corollaries that exist between the artistry of mural-making and language. Though their film was never completed, CFA is presenting a work-in-process edit completed in 1990, featuring the voices and works of artist Sandra Antongiorgi, muralist Jose Guerrero, and photographer Ivan Justiniano, among others.
ABOUT THE INSIDE/OUT SERIES
Displacement implies a concept of home. At its best, home is a place where love, belonging and safety comfortably reside.Chicago Film Archives presents Inside/Out: Stories of Origin and Dis/Placement, a series of four extraordinary films made by four Chicago-based women who by nature are adventurous, deeply curious, and brave. They are also mostly unheard of until now. The concept of “displacement” is securely embedded in each of their stories, whether it resides within the communities they film or within their own lived experience. Although each filmmaker offers a narrative distinctly different from the others, individuals’ efforts to survive and adapt to displacement run constant through all of their films.To better understand the effects of displacement, it may be useful to consider the concept of home: What does it mean to “feel at home”? Is “belonging” synonymous with “home”? Is having a sense of “home” essential to the well-being or understanding of self? Does “home” reside in a structure, a person(s), a country or a culture? What might be lost or gained when one is displaced? To explore these concepts and considerations, Alexandra Salomon, Senior Editor with Chicago Public Media, Nissa Rhee, cofounder of Borderless magazine and a seasoned writer, editor and entrepreneur in the field of journalism, and Natalie Moore, a Chicago-based journalist and author of The South Side: A Portrait of Chicago and American Segregation, will facilitate conversations around these four films and how “displacement” and its consequences are woven throughout lives in each story.PROGRAMS IN THIS SERIES
All screenings will take place in The Sanctuary at the Epiphany Center for the Arts (201 S Ashland Ave in Chicago).Admission is FREE.A NICE PLACE TO LIVE (1974, Maria Moraites, 55 min)

About:
Presented by Nissa Rhee, journalist and cofounder of Borderless Magazine, and followed by a post-screening conversation with director Silvia Malagrino.Born in Buenos Aires, Silvia Malagrino left Argentina in 1978 when her life as a young university student became dangerously entangled with politics surrounding the “Dirty War” and the resistance movement which materialized under one of Argentina’s most brutal military dictatorships. In the midst of the disappearance of so many young protestors and their friends, Malagrino left her country of birth and settled in Chicago. While earning her Ph.D. at the University of Illinois-Chicago, she built a career as an educator, multimedia artist, photographer, and filmmaker. In the mid-1990s she returned to Argentina to film and record the voices of mothers and grandmothers whose children had been “disappeared” in the resistance. As Robert J. Fox, chief editor of the Buenos Aires Herald, famously said of those times, “All of the institutions in Argentina failed. The only institution that didn’t fail was motherhood.” In her film, Malagrino includes her own voice among the others as she synthesizes her memories and experiences of those dangerous years. Burnt Oranges, is a very personal and poetic memoir of this war and its continuing aftermath.

About:
Ben Dunnill doesn’t just play music; he commands it. Armed with a timeless, gravel-and-silk voice and a staggering mental jukebox of over 5,000 songs memorized entirely by heart, the Canadian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist bridges the gap between eras with effortless, classic soul.
Ben's story began at 13 years old in White Rock, B.C. While most kids his age were navigating middle school, Ben was stepping onto professional stages, cutting his teeth in the unforgiving boot camp of smoky piano bars. Over the span of a decade, he transformed those venues into his personal laboratory, mastering the lost arts of heavy improvisation, razor-sharp showmanship, and the rare ability to capture a room’s collective heartbeat.
That relentless grind eventually met the digital age, sparking a global wildfire. Ben captivated an online audience of over a million followers by turning convention on its head: dismantling hard-hitting rap anthems like 50 Cent’s “Many Men” and Coolio’s “Gangsta’s Paradise” and rebuilding them as sweeping, cinematic jazz masterpieces. The internet took notice, generating over 200 million views and drawing ecstatic praise from modern icons like Michael Bublé, Laufey, and Joe Rogan.
But while interpreting the greats and reimagining the unexpected built his foundation, Ben is stepping out from behind the safety of the classic songbook. The sweeping success of his original standouts like the cinematic, storytelling-rich “Till the Credits Roll” and the show-stopping “Encore” has signaled a massive creative evolution. No longer just an elite interpreter of other people's masterpieces, Ben's next definitive chapter shifts the spotlight directly onto his own pen.
A deeply respected collaborator who co-wrote and co-produced the chart-topping jazz record Anything Goes with Mathew V, Ben has already brought his magnetic energy to Canada’s most prestigious stages, including Toronto’s iconic Massey Hall and the Montreal International Jazz Festival. Now, armed with a growing catalog of hits that are uniquely his own, Ben Dunnill is stepping into the spotlight as an authentic powerhouse entertainer who honors the golden age of music while fiercely rewriting its future.

About:
Mortal Fools turn literature classics into one-time-only music mashups that land somewhere between Bruce Hornsby, Steely Dan, and The Replacements, and include irreverent narrative that you never got from your English teachers.
The Chicago Tribune called it “good old lyric-driven rock,” and the lyrics for this show come from Charles Dickens’ 1843 holiday classic A Christmas Carol. The words will stay unchanged but they’ll find new relevance and meaning in songs played through amps turned up to 11.
Marley’s spooky visit. The Cratchits’ joyful dinner. Scrooge’s ultimate redemption. You get the idea.
Mortal Fools has dusted off other classics and rocked them out in front of standing-room only audiences, starting with Paradise Lost Reimagined, then Shakespeare’s Sonnets Reborn, The Odyssey Retold and, most recently, Wonderland Revisited. A sixth show, Frankenstein Reanimated, is in development.
The band is made-up of seasoned Chicagoland musicians who regularly play around town, so you may have seen them in other shows. This project is a labor of love, if not restitution for all the homework they skipped.
They’ll only come together once to play A Christmas Carol Regifted. Come join them this holiday season and party like it’s 1843.

About:
Join the RSU and local artists Jenasais, DJ Daddy Wannie, CigaretteSergeant, Qualia, and DJ Culebra for a night of techno and collective struggle! This show is in collaboration with Immersion Chicago, a new, local techno collective that aims to make techno political again. Less than 50 years ago, Chicago’s techno and house scene was born as a joyful gathering of the oppressed and outcasted. Today, there’s hardly a trace of the counter-cultural and vocally political attitude our city’s live music once had. The collective rejects the monopoly that private equity holds over Chicago’s music scene. Immersion says “DIY will always be the answer - be the change you wanna see in the world!”

About Susie McCollum:
With old soul vulnerability and a rich vocal palette, indie artist Susie McCollum lives at the intersection of raw emotion and refined craft. Originally from New York City and now based in Chicago, McCollum blends timeless songwriting with a contemporary edge - drawing inspiration from artists like Joni Mitchell, Norah Jones, and Amy Winehouse.
A lifelong student of music, McCollum’s journey spans opera, theater, jazz, R&B, & folk - providing an eclectic background that informs her textured, authentic sound. Her mesmerizing and poetic lyricism is fueled by compassion, wit, and an insatiable curiosity about the human experience. Susie is also a self-taught guitarist - a pandemic hobby turned renewed sense of artistic purpose.
Susie arrived on the scene with the celebrated single “New Year’s Eve” in 2022, praised by A&R Factory as a “part-love song, part-indie-soulful ode to bittersweet tradition.” Her 2024 debut EP Tempt My Fate captivated audiences as "stirring and uniquely powerful” (CLOUT Magazine) for its soulful vocal and poignant songwriting. She has worked alongside artists like Christopher, Nep, and Marielle Kraft, while most recently co-writing “I Should Lose You” with indie-pop artist Jenny Kern. In addition to singing, writing, and producing, Susie has also honed her skills as a recording engineer - enabling her to truly inhabit every layer of the creative process.
Susie released her highly anticipated single “Abigail” on October 24th, whose "dreamy hush works medicinally; it doesn’t push catharsis, it coaxes it" (Uranium Waves). The work is fueled by finding a home within oneself and asking: what does it mean to truly grow up… and do we ever?
Through heartfelt melodies and soul-stirring lyrics, Susie invites listeners into a shared space of introspection and re-invention - marking her a singular and invaluable talent in today’s music scene.
About Andrew Hoyt:
Andrew Hoyt is a full-time touring singer/songwriter blending folk, pop, and acoustic vibes into a sound that’s both warm and unique. He’s performed at major venues like Wells Fargo Arena and shared the stage with artists such as AJR, Jesse McCartney, David Archuleta and Eric Hutchinson. His latest EP, Kind of Paradise, produced by Nashville’s Lucas Morton and mixed by Micah Tawlks, marks a new chapter in his artistry. The project features songs co-written with acclaimed artists Matt Wertz and Andy Davis, weaving heartfelt lyrics with melodies that feel like sunshine and nostalgia.
About Josh Trimble:
Josh Trimble is an independent multi-media artist based out of Chicago, Illinois. His trifecta of focus is poured into music, film, and photography. His debut project, “Love & Adolescence” serves as the flagship of his creative offerings. The 10-song album has been officially printed to physical copies and can be purchased through direct inquiry. The project will be accompanied by a self-written, directed, and acted film consisting of 6 of the album's featured tracks.
Pulling influence from the likes of Jeff Buckley, Bon Iver, Jordan Rakei, and Madison Cunningham, Josh’s music weaves bold storytelling into the throws of his siren-like melodies and fervent guitar playing.
His most recent digital release, "Vagary", is the lead-single off of the album and delivers a story of love & loss illustrated by achey cellos and aleatoric vocals.

About:
Presented by journalist Alexandra Salomon and followed by a post-screening conversation with director Susan Dobinsky, artist Sandra Antongiorgi, and photographer Ivan Justiniano.In the late 1980s, filmmakers Susan Dobinsky and Julia Kurtz were at work on Street Signs, a film about murals and muralists in Chicago. They filmed street scenes punctuated by images of the powerful and colorful murals in the city’s Pilsen, Little Village, West Town, and Humboldt Park neighborhoods, along with interviews with artists, educators, students, and activists who lived on these communities. When Dobinsky and Kurtz began the project, their objective was to make a film about the way murals become a means of communication within and outside of immigrant communities. Their plan was to explore the social and psychological aspects of murals, and the corollaries that exist between the artistry of mural-making and language. Though their film was never completed, CFA is presenting a work-in-process edit completed in 1990, featuring the voices and works of artist Sandra Antongiorgi, muralist Jose Guerrero, and photographer Ivan Justiniano, among others.
ABOUT THE INSIDE/OUT SERIES
Displacement implies a concept of home. At its best, home is a place where love, belonging and safety comfortably reside.Chicago Film Archives presents Inside/Out: Stories of Origin and Dis/Placement, a series of four extraordinary films made by four Chicago-based women who by nature are adventurous, deeply curious, and brave. They are also mostly unheard of until now. The concept of “displacement” is securely embedded in each of their stories, whether it resides within the communities they film or within their own lived experience. Although each filmmaker offers a narrative distinctly different from the others, individuals’ efforts to survive and adapt to displacement run constant through all of their films.To better understand the effects of displacement, it may be useful to consider the concept of home: What does it mean to “feel at home”? Is “belonging” synonymous with “home”? Is having a sense of “home” essential to the well-being or understanding of self? Does “home” reside in a structure, a person(s), a country or a culture? What might be lost or gained when one is displaced? To explore these concepts and considerations, Alexandra Salomon, Senior Editor with Chicago Public Media, Nissa Rhee, cofounder of Borderless magazine and a seasoned writer, editor and entrepreneur in the field of journalism, and Natalie Moore, a Chicago-based journalist and author of The South Side: A Portrait of Chicago and American Segregation, will facilitate conversations around these four films and how “displacement” and its consequences are woven throughout lives in each story.PROGRAMS IN THIS SERIES

About:
Presented by Nissa Rhee, journalist and cofounder of Borderless Magazine, and followed by a post-screening conversation with director Silvia Malagrino.Born in Buenos Aires, Silvia Malagrino left Argentina in 1978 when her life as a young university student became dangerously entangled with politics surrounding the “Dirty War” and the resistance movement which materialized under one of Argentina’s most brutal military dictatorships. In the midst of the disappearance of so many young protestors and their friends, Malagrino left her country of birth and settled in Chicago. While earning her Ph.D. at the University of Illinois-Chicago, she built a career as an educator, multimedia artist, photographer, and filmmaker. In the mid-1990s she returned to Argentina to film and record the voices of mothers and grandmothers whose children had been “disappeared” in the resistance. As Robert J. Fox, chief editor of the Buenos Aires Herald, famously said of those times, “All of the institutions in Argentina failed. The only institution that didn’t fail was motherhood.” In her film, Malagrino includes her own voice among the others as she synthesizes her memories and experiences of those dangerous years. Burnt Oranges, is a very personal and poetic memoir of this war and its continuing aftermath.

About:
Ben Dunnill doesn’t just play music; he commands it. Armed with a timeless, gravel-and-silk voice and a staggering mental jukebox of over 5,000 songs memorized entirely by heart, the Canadian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist bridges the gap between eras with effortless, classic soul.
Ben's story began at 13 years old in White Rock, B.C. While most kids his age were navigating middle school, Ben was stepping onto professional stages, cutting his teeth in the unforgiving boot camp of smoky piano bars. Over the span of a decade, he transformed those venues into his personal laboratory, mastering the lost arts of heavy improvisation, razor-sharp showmanship, and the rare ability to capture a room’s collective heartbeat.
That relentless grind eventually met the digital age, sparking a global wildfire. Ben captivated an online audience of over a million followers by turning convention on its head: dismantling hard-hitting rap anthems like 50 Cent’s “Many Men” and Coolio’s “Gangsta’s Paradise” and rebuilding them as sweeping, cinematic jazz masterpieces. The internet took notice, generating over 200 million views and drawing ecstatic praise from modern icons like Michael Bublé, Laufey, and Joe Rogan.
But while interpreting the greats and reimagining the unexpected built his foundation, Ben is stepping out from behind the safety of the classic songbook. The sweeping success of his original standouts like the cinematic, storytelling-rich “Till the Credits Roll” and the show-stopping “Encore” has signaled a massive creative evolution. No longer just an elite interpreter of other people's masterpieces, Ben's next definitive chapter shifts the spotlight directly onto his own pen.
A deeply respected collaborator who co-wrote and co-produced the chart-topping jazz record Anything Goes with Mathew V, Ben has already brought his magnetic energy to Canada’s most prestigious stages, including Toronto’s iconic Massey Hall and the Montreal International Jazz Festival. Now, armed with a growing catalog of hits that are uniquely his own, Ben Dunnill is stepping into the spotlight as an authentic powerhouse entertainer who honors the golden age of music while fiercely rewriting its future.

About:
La Mar de Bien-A Flamenco Jazz Collective, translates to “A Sea of Goodness” which invokes a feeling of warmth, joy and positive energy, which reflects the spirit of the music and visual experience we create together. The collective is truly an International Ensemble, bringing together musicians from Spain, Japan, Venezuela, and the United States. The Collective features Martin Metzger on flamenco guitar, Rie Katayama on flamenco dance, Marfil Keller Alemán on flamenco voice and flamenco dance, Remi Kimura on latin percussion, Hana Fujisaki on piano, and Freddy Quintero on latin bass. The members have dedicated countless trips to Spain to preserve and bring back the art form’s virtuosity, passion, and spirit. Their performance is a visual and auditory delight, showcasing dynamic interplay that makes flamenco truly an international art form. In addition to traditional Flamenco Palos, the trio explores music that draws from a wide range of traditions, including Brazilian jazz, Afro-Cuban jazz, and Flamenco-jazz; a touch of Japanese aesthetics, standards and original compositions.

About:
Mortal Fools turn literature classics into one-time-only music mashups that land somewhere between Bruce Hornsby, Steely Dan, and The Replacements, and include irreverent narrative that you never got from your English teachers.
The Chicago Tribune called it “good old lyric-driven rock,” and the lyrics for this show come from Charles Dickens’ 1843 holiday classic A Christmas Carol. The words will stay unchanged but they’ll find new relevance and meaning in songs played through amps turned up to 11.
Marley’s spooky visit. The Cratchits’ joyful dinner. Scrooge’s ultimate redemption. You get the idea.
Mortal Fools has dusted off other classics and rocked them out in front of standing-room only audiences, starting with Paradise Lost Reimagined, then Shakespeare’s Sonnets Reborn, The Odyssey Retold and, most recently, Wonderland Revisited. A sixth show, Frankenstein Reanimated, is in development.
The band is made-up of seasoned Chicagoland musicians who regularly play around town, so you may have seen them in other shows. This project is a labor of love, if not restitution for all the homework they skipped.
They’ll only come together once to play A Christmas Carol Regifted. Come join them this holiday season and party like it’s 1843.
