To kick off Episode #20 of the Cine-Cast, Associate Editor Ben Sachs talks with contributors John Dickson and Steve Erickson about a wide range of new releases and upcoming revival screenings. The conversation touches on everything from Fritz Lang's RANCHO NOTORIOUS (screening on 35mm at the Music Box Theatre the first weekend in October) to James Wan's MALIGNANT (now playing in general release), then settles into a far-reaching discussion of WIFE OF A SPY, the first period piece by Cine-File favorite Kiyoshi Kurosawa (that film opens at the Gene Siskel Film Center on September 24). Next, Associate Editor Kathleen Sachs and contributor Megan Fariello interview experimental filmmaker Jennifer Boles about her short THE REVERSAL, which will play on a loop on the limestone wall of the McCormick Bridgehouse and River Museum on the Chicago Riverwalk on the night of September 30.

The introductory theme is by local film composer Ben Van Vlissingen. Find out more about his work here: www.benvanv.com
