Screening and Author Event in Chicago

AUTHOR JASON KLAMM has just written a book all about FERRIS BUELLER’S DAY OFF. Let’s celebrate this timeless Chicago classic with Jason in attendance! who will talk about his book right after we show the film.

Ferris Bueller…You’re My Hero is the most comprehensive book of one of the most enduring Chicago comedies in film history—and the first deep dive of its kind into a John Hughes film!

Drawing on more than 120 new and exclusive interviews, the book takes readers deep inside John Hughes’ remarkable creative streak—fresh off Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club—as teen angst gave way to slapstick humor, surreal storytelling, and a hero who knew exactly where the camera was. Go behind the scenes as Hughes shot more than a million feet of film before the movie was even halfway complete, navigated mounting studio panic, and transformed controlled chaos into cinematic magic.

We’ll be starting the film promptly at 5:30pm followed by a Q&A discussion with Jason. Water, popcorn and coffee will be available!
