20,000 Days on Earth: Tuesday, Dec. 2, 8 p.m. ($5 general admission)
20,000 Days On Earth takes us deep into the heart of how myth, memory, love and loss shape our lives, every single day. A line in Nick Cave’s songwriting notebook calculating how many days he’d been alive inspired the film’s title. The film delves into Nick’s artistic processes, unpicking the stuff that makes him tick. Fusing drama and documentary to weave a cinematic day-in-the-life with unique vérité observations of his full creative cycle. Visual artists Iain Forsyth & Jane Pollard direct their feature film debut.

All City Winery Chicago events are open to all ages and start at 8pm, unless noted.
