Chicago International Film Festival

For 45 years, the Chicago International Film Festival has brought you the brightest and boldest new films and filmmakers—from Slumdog Millionaire and Reservoir Dogs to Scorsese, Fassbinder, Wenders, and Herzog—first. Did you chat with The Wrestler director Darren Aronofsky or listen to Kevin Smith crack the audience up for an hour after Zack and Miri Make a Porno? Maybe you saw Viggo Mortensen, or Jada Pinkett Smith at her directorial debut? This year you can expect to see the most anticipated films and stars (Uma Thurman, Martin Landau, and Willem Dafoe to name a few), but the real fun is pushing your boundaries and discovering something new.

Frog Leg Festival

body { background: #fff; font:85% Georgia; margin: 5px; padding: 0px; }In 1990, several members of the City of Fellsmere, FL were very concerned about the fact that there was no funding source available for the recreational needs of the children in Fellsmere.  The Frog Leg Festival was a result of that concern and the brain child Fran Adams.  She and local residents guessed frog leg dinners might be unique to entice folks to the city.  Not realizing the draw of this event, some committee members helped set up the event and then went to the movies.  Several Hours and 400 dinners later the frog legs were sold out!  Growing pains were there!
