Because we're still playing catch-up from our brief hiatus due to moving, we need to mention that the annual Chicago International Film Fest was held a few weeks ago and we attended several movies, including Jellyfish (an Israeli movie about the joy and despair and magic in the lives of several women), and a grouping of some very interesting Animated Shorts. But our hands down favorite was "Jump" a documentary about several teams of teens from across the country competing in the national jumprope competition. Wierd interaction of athletic competition with zealous Christianity for many of the teams. Talk about extreme behavior! This film doesn't have a distribution deal yet, but if it comes to a theatre near you, we highly recommend it.
