Join us at The Chicago Onscreen Showcase

I’m excited to share that The Spy Who Knew Me has been named an official selection for The Chicago Onscreen Showcase and will be shared with audiences from all around Chicago this summer as part of the Chicago Park District’s Movies in the Parks program.

We are one of 15 local films selected for screenings around the city through the movies in the parks program this summer! The Chicago Onscreen Local Film Showcase gives local filmmakers the opportunity to share their work with a citywide audience through free outdoor public screenings in local parks. Over the past 4 years, Chicago Onscreen has screened more than 60 local films in 25 neighborhood parks across the city, giving Chicagoans a chance to see themselves, their neighborhoods and our city on the big screen. The Spy Who Knew Me will have three screenings:

TUESDAY, AUGUST 28
AT WEST PULLMAN PARK (401 W. 123RD ST.)
 
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 29
AT INDEPENDENCE PARK (3945 N. SPRINGFIELD AVE.)

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1
AT PING TOM MEMORIAL PARK (1800 S. WENTWORTH AVE.)

This is A.B.L.E.’s second outing with the Showcase, having previously been featured in 2015 with our first movie, The Curse of the Tempest Jewel, a film noir detective story about a lost treasure. The Spy Who Knew Me is A.B.L.E.’s second film, featuring an ensemble cast of 20 actors with Down syndrome. Actors collaborated with a professional film crew and teaching artists to create this unique spy movie.

Pack a picnic and join us!
