Chicago – James “Jamie” Redford is on a righteous mission. Using the power of his latest documentary film, “Resilience,” he is informing all of society to something We All can relate to – Adverse Childhood Experiences (Ace). Why is this important? Because virtually everyone is affected by these traumas, and it may be the key to healing many mental And physical health problems, as well as some societal ills.
The film is fully titled “Resilience: The Biology of Stress & the Science of Hope,” and it refers to the heroic efforts of pediatricians and mental health researchers who are working to stem the tide of Ace – especially in more unfavorable family, race and economic circumstances. The documentary is part of the Chicago Independent Film Critics Circle (Cifcc) Showcase, taking place this weekend (November 5th and 6th, 2016).

Top 10
Somewhere in Moscow in 1984, 29-year-old computer engineer Alexey Pajitnov sat at his work station, deep within a building called the Soviet Academy of Sciences. Here, in front of his hulking computer, an Elektronika 60, Pajitnov was working on one of his latest programs. If you’d been one of his superiors, Pajitnov would have told you that he was examining its code for bugs. But in reality, he was addicted.
Had you taken a look over Pajitnov’s shoulder at what he was working on back then, it’s likely you wouldn’t have thought much of it in any case. Just a few characters juddering down a screen - the Elektronika being such a crude computer that it could only display text. But what the young programmer had in front of him was the early...

At 10, Dylan Redford, grandson of Robert, could barely read or write. His story features in a revealing and touching documentary about the condition made by his father, James
On the face of it, Dylan Redford has everything going for him – he is a handsome, intelligent and artistic 22-year-old who happens to be the grandson of Robert Redford. But he is also severely dyslexic and, at the age of 10, could barely read or write.
At school in Marin County, California, he found it impossible to use the lockers. The combination of remembering a sequence of numbers and then twisting the padlock dial in the right direction proved difficult to master. "It was just all bad," says Dylan. "I had to ask my friends to do it for me."
Dylan's experiences with dyslexia are depicted in a new documentary, The Big Picture, directed by Dylan's father, James. After watching his "intellectually curious...

This weekend the box office is being dominated by Fox’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine, a conflicted comic book character perfect for his own spin-off film and stand alone back story. Unfortunately, the X-Men mutant movie was a bit of a disappointment in terms of quality, but as it rakes in more dollars this summer the studio will definitely be looking for ways to cash in on its success on top of any future Wolverine installments.
