I'm writing now because I'm on the committee for the Talking Pictures Festival in Evanston, and we're contacting local organizations to get the word out on some great films that are focused on the arts. I actually think WEX participants will be interested in a whole range of films being shown over next weekend, not just the art films, and maybe a group would even want to go to a movie together. www.talkingpicturesfestival.org.
