Chicago Onscreen at Avalon

Chicago Onscreen returns for its thirteenth season of short films by Chicago-area filmmakers, screening outdoors at Avalon Park on Friday, August 28, at 8 PM. The program includes seven works spanning narrative, documentary, and experimental approaches — titles range from *The Protagonist Gene* and *Taste of Community* to *Jacuzzi Man*. It's a solid chance to see what local directors are making, especially if you prefer your cinema with a summer breeze.
