Program Description

Event Details

Celebrate the 1980 movie The Blues Brothers as you explore its backstories, mix of Hollywood genres, and impact on Chicago-based filmmaking.

This hour-long interactive talk considers backstories of the 1980 movie and the Blues Brothers' act, made famous on SNL;  conventional Hollywood genres and ten ways The Blues Brothers film, for better or worse, insists on mixing them; and the movie’s impact on Chicago-based filmmaking, with a special nod to Jane Byrne, who served as Chicago’s mayor during the film’s production.
