Join us as we open the spring semester with a curated screening chosen by this year’s Ebert Fellows. The Ebert Center will be screening Dog Day Afternoon (1975), Sidney Lumet’s gritty film, which stars Al Pacino as bank robber Sonny Wortzik in a career-making moment. The film will be introduced by Chicago Tribune film critic Michael Phillips, alongside Ebert Fellows Kennedy Caldwell, Diamond Steward-Hutton, and Aaron Anastos.
