Completed! A Song for You, a film by Sharon Karp,
is a personal narrative chronicling her parents’ treacherous
escape from the Nazis. In July 2008, family members and crew travelled
to the Pyrenees to film their escape route from France to Spain.
A second trip was organized to shoot locations found in a newly
discovered map, hand-drawn by Sharon's father. A
Song for You premiered at the Gene Siskel Film Center
on Saturday, January 11, 2014 at 5 pm. The film chronicles Sharon
Karp's parents' treacherous escape from the Nazis, crossing the
Pyrenees with the help of the French Resistance. The film reveals
the impact of the Holocaust on the next generation and celebrates
the bravery of those who risked their own lives to save the family.

Man: The Poetry of Photographer Milton Rogovin,
the social documentarian who for nearly forty years photographed
people around the world, focusing on men and women at work.
Continuing in the tradition of masters such as Dorothea Lange,
Rogovin’s portraits of workers include universal images
of women and minorities, subjects that are frequently overlooked
and underrepresented. Milton is turning 100 years old in
December 2009. For more information, visit Milton's web
