Long time collaborator and prolific filmmaker Jon Jost returns to Chicago Filmmakers to screen his latest feature film, Walkerville on Saturday, May 11 at 7:00 PM.
There will be a Q&A lead by Jost post-screening.
Jost first screened at Chicago Filmmakers in 1978 and likely holds the record for the most one-person shows here since then. We are thrilled to continue that tradition with his most recent film Walkerville, a fictional/documentary tone-poem, making for a kind of portrait of the town of Walkerville, Montana, and of the lead actor, Gary Winterholler, who had suffered a severe stroke several years earlier and was in a process of recuperation. There is no story or narrative, rather a kind of atmosphere and ambience in which a feeling for the town and its present and former inhabitants, and compassion for Gary, are generated by means more akin to music and poetry than narrative/story-telling.
