We have profiled The First Grader, which is being released in the U.S. next month, several times already on S & A; even just a few days ago (see HERE).

But if any of our readers in Chicago area would like to see the film before its nationwide release, there will be an advance screening of it at the Gene Siskel Film Center located right in the heart of downtown Chicago, at 164 N. State, on Sunday May 15th starting at 5PM.

Tickets can be purchased in advance.

And even better, lead actress Naomie Harris will be present in person at the screening for a Q and A afterward.
