Summer Screenings: Salvador

Chicago History Museum, 1601 N Clark St, Chicago, IL 60614

Summer Screenings is Cinema/Chicago’s annual free film series that casts a spotlight on a different country’s national cinema each week all summer.

About Salvador: 1985. Bogotá. A pall of paranoid insecurity hangs over the capital city, where tailor Salvador leads a solitary life. His quiet routine is shattered by the arrival of Isabel, the new elevator operator in his building. The two embark on an awkward love affair until jealousy and suspicion (as family members start disappearing) begin to cloud his judgment.

Doors open at 5:45pm and screening begins at 6:30pm. Seating is general and on a first-come, first-served basis and is limited to theater capacity.
