Delay
I've got my new show finished but my server is having problems so I'm not sure when I'll be able to get it posted. In the meantime, here's another home movie- this one's of an art fair in the Lake Meadows neighborhood of Chicago's South Side.
Interestingly, this movie was screened once on the South Side and a woman in the audience yelled "That's Me!" when the little girl in the blue coat comes on screen at about 1:24. I think she said she was 6 or 7 at the time and today she works at an arts center on the South Side.
The film was transferred for me by the great folks at the South Side Home Movie Project, an organization dedicated to preserving home movies from Chicago's South Side and creating a digital archive of them. For those of you who may be from Chicago- if you have any 8mm or 16mm home movies with footage from the South Side you should definitely contact them- they'll transfer the footage and return it to you along with a dvd.
