Best of Chicago voting is live now. Vote for your favorites »
No election season in Chicago is complete without a screening of Bill Stamets’s Super-8 chronicles. In years past Stamets has treated us to Nazi rallies, Byrne psychobabble, and Washington wins after the vote tallies. Now comes the world premiere of Presidential Appearances, Stamets’s postscript to last November’s contest, a travelogue that includes the Iowa caucuses, the conventions, and President Bush’s inauguration. Show time is 8 PM at Chicago Filmmakers, 1229 W. Belmont. Tickets are $4, $3 to members. Stamets will be present; a large number of his photos are also on display. Call 281-8788.

MARCH
Women, especially in minority communities, are increasingly hard hit by the AIDS epidemic. Prostitutes, women with multiple sex partners, IV-drug users, and lovers of IV-drug users all run the risk of infection. Kattie Portis, of Women and AIDS Risk Network in Boston, talks about Reaching and Helping Women at Risk in a free 3 PM lecture in Room 140 of the University of Illinois’ Behavioral Sciences Building, at the corner of Harrison and Morgan streets. Her talk is sponsored by the Chicago Women’s AIDS Project; Portis will also be the guest of honor at a buffet supper at 7 PM at the CWAP office, 5249 N. Kenmore. Admission is $5; reservations required; 271-2070.
