" A Not Too Distant Past, a collection of short experimental and documentary films and videos examining Chicago’s radical history of the past 150 years.
A Not Too Distant Past presents a range of personal and political approaches, including historical documentary, “guerrilla television,” video art and more. While subjects range from the Haymarket affair, to late ‘60s radicalism, to today’s cultural resisters, the works share a DIY aesthetic and were all produced with limited budgets. Together, the program provides a view into the city’s underground and often under-acknowledge history, illuminating issues from Chicago’s past – many of which continue to be vital to the city today.
