CHIRP Radio writesCOMING SOON: “Almost Famous” at the CHIRP Music Film Festival

Almost Famous (2000)
Saturday, September 16th 8:00pm

Before social media, before 9/11, before Covid, before so many things, the idea of the rock-star life was shrouded in myths and legends. Life on the road, the screaming fans, the nonstop antics - to not only document the party but also be a part of it is what some would call a dream come true. Cameron Crowe's semi-autobiographical love letter to finding a place in the world tells the story of a young man who gets the chance to do live that dream as he attempts to tell the story of the band Stillwater, and in doing so, gets a front row seat to the highs and lows of the ultimate lifestyle.

"A blissfully sweet coming-of-age movie in which everyone, young and less young, comes of age." --Peter Rainer, New York Magazine/Vulture

"Almost Famous is a time capsule, a vessel into the past that beams with life. A coming of age jewel with fantastic performances and a nurturing musical embrace. It’ll never stop singing.." --Kristy Strouse, Cinematic Lovelies

The CHIRP Music Film Festival takes place at the historic Davis Theater in Chicago September 14th-17th. Tickets are available at Eventbrite.
