The Chicago Film Festival is going on now through October 25th. For those that cannot make it, the library has its own selection of films online. One that we recommend is the the documentary “Frida Kahlo.” This film gives the viewer an overview of the life and times of Mexico’s most famous female painter, Frida Kahlo. Learn about the devastating bus accident of her youth, how she expressed her anguish in art, her tumultuous relationship with Diego Rivera, and visit her famous “Blue House” in Coyoacán, Mexico. Hear selections from her diary, see old photos, and archived video that give a personal view into this legendary feminist icon.
