Birth of Saké film event

The Chicago Film Festival will be showing a documentary about making saké, called Birth of Saké. The director will be present at each of the showings, and Monday night, the film will be followed by food and drinks hosted by Murasaki Saké Lounge. RSVPing here does not guarantee you entrance, you must buy a ticket at http://www.ticketmaster.com/search?q=birth+of+sake

Even if you do not plan to attend the special Taste of Cinema event, you can still see the film Monday at 5:45pm. There will also be showings on Tuesday, October 20 at 3:30pm and Wednesday, October 21 at 12:30pm. If you want to join the saké tasting, tickets, including the film and food, are $58.80 for Will Call pickup. If you just want to see the film and do not want to join the tasting, the Monday evening show is $20.90 for Will Call pickup and the Tuesday and Wednesday matinees are $13.75 for Will Call pickup.

The Taste of Cinema portion of the evening will include an exclusive saké tasting with Japanese tapas provided by Murasaki Saké Lounge. I'm not clear if it will be at the theater or at Murasaki, but they are very close together, so it wouldn't be a long walk.

Once you have bought tickets, please also RSVP here and let us know which showing you are going to and whether you will be attending the Taste of Cinema event.
