CHIRP is proud to present the return of its music film festival! Featuring seven music documentaries and concert films, the second CHIRP Music Film Festival has something for every kind of music lover!
Schedule:
8:00 PM - Melomaniac, Dir: Katlin Schneider; 2023 (70 mins.)
Starting in the 1980s, Aadam Jacobs has recorded audio of every live show he’s attended in Chicago. Since then, Jacobs has built an impressive archive of more than 30,000 performances, recording early sets from such bands as The Flaming Lips, Nirvana, and Sonic Youth. Melomaniac explores the impact of one man’s passion and obsession for Chicago’s music scene, with interviews from local music icon Jon Langford and Portlandia star Fred Armisen, to conversations with the owners of longstanding Chicago venues like The Metro.
