DESCRIPTION:\n	First ever theatrical release of the newly restored film on 
 its 50th anniversary \n\n\n	Dirs. Gordon Quinn\, Gerald Temaner. 1968\, 66
  mins. Newly restored 16mm print. Music by Philip Glass. Two young nuns cr
 isscross Chicago\, approaching strangers on the street\, as well as in par
 king lots\, the Art Institute\, and churches\, asking the simple question\
 , “Are you happy?” They meet a lonely girl\, a happy mother\, young lovers
 \, hippie musicians\, a sociologist\, and even the actor Lincoln Perry\, b
 etter known as Stepin Fetchit\, now on hard times. The interviewees are so
 metimes taken aback\, nervous\, or clamoring to get into view of the camer
 a. Each interview is a complete and thoughtful piece of the person’s life\
 , with no intercutting. The humor and sadness of these honest encounters l
 ift the film beyond its experimental conceit into a serious and moving inq
 uiry into contemporary society and the circumstances under which people ex
 amine their lives. A fascinating work of cinema verite by Gordon Quinn and
  Gerald Temaner\, co-founders of Kartemquin Films\, Inquiring Nuns also fe
 atures the first credited film score by Philip Glass. A Kartemquin Films a
 nd Argot Pictures release. \n\n\n	Preceded by '63 Boycott (Dir. Gordon Qui
 nn. 2017\, 30 mins.) On October 22\, 1963\, more than 200\,000 students wa
 lked out of the Chicago Public Schools to protest racial segregation. Many
  marched through the city calling for the resignation of School Superinten
 dent Benjamin Willis\, who placed trailers\, dubbed ‘Willis Wagons\,’ on p
 laygrounds and parking lots of overcrowded black schools rather than let t
 hem enroll in nearby white schools. Blending unseen archival 16mm footage 
 of the march shot by Kartemquin founder Gordon Quinn with the participants
 ’ reflections\, ’63 Boycott&nbsp\;connects the forgotten story of one of t
 he largest northern civil rights demonstrations to contemporary issues aro
 und equity\, education\, and youth activism.\n	\n\n\n	“Inquiring Nuns is t
 he closest thing to a ‘pure’ documentary that I have ever seen.” — William
  Routt\, Film Quarterly\, 1968 \n\n\n	'A lovely\, weirdly potent time caps
 ule... a single\, polyphonic ode to late '67 Chicago and what was on the m
 ind of its collective citizenry.' — Michael Phillips\, Chicago Tribune\, 2
 016 \n\n\n	Alongside Inquiring Nuns\, the Museum will present other ground
 breaking 'man on the street' films from the 1960s: Jean Rouch and Edgar Mo
