SEE IT hERE fIRST!<br />
for 45 years, the <strong>Chicago</strong> <strong>International</strong> <strong>Film</strong> <strong>Festival</strong> has brought you the brightest<br />
and boldest new films and filmmakers—from Slumdog Millionaire and Reservoir Dogs<br />
to Martin Scorsese, Fassbinder, Wenders, and Herzog—first. Did you hang out to chat<br />
with The Wrestler director Darren Aronofsky last year? Or listen to Kevin Smith crack<br />
the audience up for an hour after Zack and Miri Make a Porno? Maybe you saw<br />
Rachel Weisz or Viggo Mortensen, or Jada Pinkett Smith at her directorial debut?<br />
Were you sitting near Quentin Tarantino when we premiered his smash Inglourious<br />
Basterds at our Summer Gala? Or getting an advance look at the year’s hottest films<br />
at our exclusive Cinema/<strong>Chicago</strong> Member screenings (p. 41)? Feel free to brag.<br />
So what can you expect to see this year? The most anticipated films and the stars you<br />
love (Uma Thurman, Martin Landau, and Willem Dafoe to name a few), sure, but the real<br />
fun of the <strong>Festival</strong> is pushing your boundaries and discovering something new with us….<br />
