Almost There: Screening and Panel Discussion

@ Intuit: The Center for Intuitive and Outsider Art

756 N Milwaukee Ave, Chicago, IL 60642

Opening Saturday, July 30th, from 5PM - 8PM

Experience the critically-acclaimed documentary Almost There alongside the filmmakers behind it’s creation. Almost There is a coming of (old) age story about 84-year-old Peter Anton, a Midwestern outsider artist, living in isolated and crippling conditions whose world changes when two filmmakers discover his work and storied part. Through his struggle we see his art motivate and heal him through the pain of poverty, disability and isolation.

After the screening, join filmmakers Dan Rybicky and Aaron Wickenden for a question and answer panel to explore the stories, experiences and themes raised by the film.
