Summer Screenings: The Umesh Chronicles

Chicago Cultural Center, 78 E Washington St, 2nd Floor, Chicago, IL 60602

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 The Umesh Chronicles: Radha, a 12-year-old girl growing up in a privileged, middle class home in the 1980s, is surrounded by family, books, and music. She has limited contact with Sundar, a boy who works for her family but whose presence opens her eyes. At once intimate and epic, this coming-of-age drama is a tender portrait of familial love and personal growth in a changing society.

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.
