Chicago International Film Festival Tickets Now on Sale
Single tickets for the 44th Chicago International Film Festival, which runs October 16-29, are now on sale. You can buy them online, by phone (312-332-FILM), or in person at several venues around town. And of course the entire festival schedule is online. Your best value is still one of the festival passes; and there are so many great movies to see this year it'd be shame to limit yourself to only one or two. We plan on gorging ourselves. Check back next week when we'll start posting reviews, including our take on Charlie Kaufman's long-awaited Synedoche, New York (we saw it last night and we're still haunted by it).

Do you happen to know what happened to the Mike Leigh film? I don't see it in the listings.

Be careful that you're not accidentally looking at LAST YEAR'S listings. Their website is a bit screwy at the moment. "Happy-Go-Lucky" is screening 10/17 at 7pm. You can get a PDF of the schedule at http://2008.chicagofilmfestival.org/2008-CIFF-Guide.pdf

Never mind. Found it listed on ticketbastard's site. Though it is strange that it's not on the CIFF site at all.

Thanks. I see that it is listed in the PDF and in the daily schedule section, but not in the section by individual title. Nor does it show up in a search. It's is in the old-fashioned paper schedule.
Bonus is that Mike Leigh's gonna be there in person! Got my tickets for it and the single showing of Synecdoche, New York.

For some reason they haven't updated the online searchable schedule and so it's still showing the 2007 lineup. That's why you don't see it. Ugh.
