Chicago Movie Tours will offer two free “mini matinee” online lectures on Facebook. The first, on Thursday, May 13 at 9:30 AM is “Film Firsts and the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair: Part I.” The presentation will uncover what human eyesight, galloping horses, and a missed Chicago deadline have in common.
The second presentation, on Thursday, May 20 at 9:30 AM, is “Film Firsts and the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair: Part II” which promises to celebrate the fathers of modern movies and that time they filmed Chicago’s famous Ferris wheel.
To attend these events, just view their Facebook page at the scheduled time and click on the live video.
