Larry Janowski gets a special mention, because we are celebrating his birthday. He is a native Chicagoan, son of a used car dealer, a teacher, short story writer, poet, and real-life Friar Lawrence. He began his professional writing career as a reporter and editor with the Associated Press. A thorough Midwesterner, Larry grew up on the South Side of Chicago, went away to prep school in Wisconsin, got his BA back in Chicago at the University of Illinois, went to grad school at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, and seminary at Aquinas Institute of Theology in Dubuque, Iowa. Only his MFA is from out east: Vermont College. He joined the Franciscans in 1968, and was ordained in 1973.

I Often Dream of Trains, A Concert Film by Robyn Hitchcock
Opening Thursday March 4, 2010
With live accompaniment by the band Naked Lunch, followed by the first Chicago live appearance of Thee Majesty, featuring Genesis Breyer P-Orridge.
CIMMfest
As always, music is at the heart of CIMMfest, so we have a number of live performances to go along with the screenings. In addition to Grant Hart, CIMMfest will host a performance by the inimitable Robyn Hitchcock in conjunction with the screening of his concert documentary, and by Jon Langford.
To bring an even more international scope to the festival this year, CIMMfest has joined with the Filmer la Musique festival of Paris and is proud to host its representatives as our guests to introduce their films. This year, we also continue the tradition of presenting art as part of the festival as well. In conjunction with the a screening of Eileen Yaghoobian's "Died Young Stayed Pretty," CIMMfest will host a rock art show featuring poster art curated by Steve Walters of Screwball Press.
