A True False Film Fest Event At The Music Box Will Incorporate Live Local Music

Tomorrow, January 4, the nonfiction showcase True/False will present the Chicago premiere of the documentary Thy Father’s Chair (2015) at the Music Box Theatre, two months ahead of the annual True/False Film Fest in Columbia, Missouri. The Chicago-based instrumental band Mar Caribe will kick off the event at 7 PM with a 30-minute set; and a screening of the documentary short Balloonfest, directed by Nathan Truesdell, will be shown before Thy Father’s Chair.

“In this case,” he continues, “Thy Father’s Chair would seem to be a sensationalist film about hoarders. Instead, it becomes something much bigger, having to do with love and acceptance, and whether human beings have a capacity for change.”
