The Arts Section 10/13/19: Chicago International Film Fest Preview + Kurt Elling

On this edition of The Arts Section, host Gary Zidek previews the 55th Chicago International Film Festival. He sits down with Festival artistic director Mimi Plauche and senior programmer Anthony Kaufman. A little later in the show, a story about the work of Tetsuya Ishida, the late Japanese artist is the focus of a new exhibit in Chicago. The Dueling Critics, Kerry Reid and Jonathan Abarbanel, will join Gary to review a new play that offers a different take on the Joan of Arc story. The director of a suburban organization stops by to talk about its mission to build awareness of the arts in DuPage County. And Gary checks in with Grammy Award winning vocalist Kurt Elling to talk about a special one night-only program at Symphony Center.
