New Documentary Fest - Chicagoist
With local film premieres from renowned documentarians Werner Herzog, Albert Maysles and two-time Oscar winner Barbara Kopple, anticipation is high for DOC10, the newest addition to Chicago's film festival offerings. Launching at the Music Box this weekend (April 1 to 3), this ten-film documentary showcase also features several compelling features from lesser-known artists...But, based on the half of the schedule we've sampled, it's the spirit of the third giant of the field, Maysles (Gimme Shelter, Grey Gardens) that looms largest over DOC10.
