THE ONE SHOW of great advertising from New York’s One Club, which judged 18,000 entries from 50 countries, has made its annual pilgrimage to Chicago and the 2007 print winners are on display at the Conaway Center at Columbia College, 1104 S. Wabash, through Oct. 18.
Meanwhile in New York, three industry luminaries will be inducted in The One Club’s Creative Hall of Fame Oct. 17 at a black tie gala.
They are Tim Delaney, CEO and founder of Leagas Delaney, London; Phil Dusenberry, former chairman of BBDO North America; and the late Paul Rand, creator of such iconic corporate logos ranging from IBM to UPS, ABC and Westinghouse.
LAURA LINNEY and fellow actress Tamara Jenkins (“Slums of Beverly Hills”) are the stars who will appear at the Oct. 17 closing night what many say is the liveliest and best Chicago International Film Festival in many years.
Linney, Jenkins and Phillip Seymour Hoffman star in the highly praised “The Savages,” a story revolving around the modern American family.
THE INTERNATIONAL DOCUMENTARY ASSOCIATION celebrating its 25th anniversary, named “Hoop Dreams” the number one best documentary of the past quarter century.
“Hoop Dreams” filmmakers were Steve James (“Stevie”), Peter Gilbert (executive producer, “The Ballad of Esequiel Hernandez” and “Stevie” co-producer) and Frederick Marx (editor, “Schooled”) and produced under the Kartemquin banner.
James also directs commercials via bicoastal Nonfiction Films.
OSCAR-NOMINATED JOHN LOGAN, a former Evanstonian, is writing the screenplay for “Empire,” to be directed by Chicago native Michael Mann and featuring Mann’s “Ali” star Will Smith as an international media mogul, according to Sun-Times columnist Bill Zwecker, the go-to-guy for entertainment news.
