DESCRIPTION:\n	With director Gordon Quinn in person \n	\n	\n	First ever the
 atrical release of the newly restored film on its 50th anniversary \n\n\n	
 Dirs. Gordon Quinn\, Gerald Temaner. 1968\, 66 mins. Newly restored 16mm p
 rint. Music by Philip Glass. Two young nuns crisscross Chicago\, approachi
 ng strangers on the street\, as well as in parking lots\, the Art Institut
 e\, and churches\, asking the simple question\, “Are you happy?” They meet
  a lonely girl\, a happy mother\, young lovers\, hippie musicians\, a soci
 ologist\, and even the actor Lincoln Perry\, better known as Stepin Fetchi
 t\, now on hard times. The interviewees are sometimes taken aback\, nervou
 s\, or clamoring to get into view of the camera. Each interview is a compl
 ete and thoughtful piece of the person’s life\, with no intercutting. The 
 humor and sadness of these honest encounters lift the film beyond its expe
 rimental conceit into a serious and moving inquiry into contemporary socie
 ty and the circumstances under which people examine their lives. A fascina
 ting work of cinema verite by Gordon Quinn and Gerald Temaner\, co-founder
 s of Kartemquin Films\, Inquiring Nuns also features the first credited fi
 lm score by Philip Glass. A Kartemquin Films and Argot Pictures release.&n
 bsp\;View trailer.\n\n\n	“Inquiring Nuns is the closest thing to a ‘pure’

 ode to late '67 Chicago and what was on the mind of its collective citizen
 ry.' — Michael Phillips\, Chicago Tribune\, 2016 \n\n\n	Alongside Inquirin
