A Roast and a Toast: Celebrating Gordon Quinn and the Future of Kartemquin

With more than fifty years of award-winning filmmaking behind him, Kartemquin Films Artistic Director Gordon Quinn has earned the right to sleep in. But first, Chicago’s film community will come together to roast a living legend, and look ahead to the next chapter in the stories of two Midwestern institutions.

Join Kartemquin Films and a few hundred of our closest friends at the Billboard Showroom in Ravenswood to enjoy cocktails, dinner, and a playful roast of Gordon among vintage cars and neon signs as classic as the man himself.
