Batavia, IL—The June edition of Water Street Studios’ Live Art Series will feature an evening of films and film-related programming courtesy of the brand-new After Image Film Festival. You are invited to join us on June 28, 2019 at 6:00 p.m.
Following cocktail hour, the program will commence with the unveiling of the official line-up for the 2019 After Image Film Festival. The line-up will include a diverse range of programming including films that premiered at major festivals such as Sundance, SXSW and the Toronto Film Festival, as well as films made by Chicago-area directors. Attendees will then be treated to a sneak preview of one of the short films that will be presented during the festival in September.
After a brief intermission, the evening will continue with a screening of CONTAMINATED MEMORIES, produced by Chicago-based Kartemquin Films (“Hoop Dreams,” “Minding the Gap”). In 1985, Penny Beerntsen was brutally attacked on a beach in Wisconsin after which she identified Steven Avery as her attacker. Based primarily upon her eyewitness testimony, Avery was convicted, but eighteen years into his 32-year sentence, a devastating discovery occurs.
Filmmaker Debra Tolchinsky will be in attendance for a post-screening Q&A.
