Renamed in 2000 in tribute to the late Tribune film critic Gene Siskel, State Street’s Siskel Film Center continually shows artful cinema from all over the world, whether it’s the theater’s long-run weekly programming or one-off screenings of films that, let’s face it, we wouldn’t have the chance to see in a theater setting otherwise. With more than a hundred filmmaker appearances each year, plus distinguished festivals such as the European Union Festival the Stranger Than Fiction doc fest, Siskel strives to keep film lovers both informed and entertained.
