Peacenicks Invade The Chicago Cultural Center Plus More New Reviews And Notable Screenings

• In a Foreign Land

The Peace on Earth Film Festival, four days of free screenings and discussions at Chicago Cultural Center, kicks off tonight with an evening of short documentaries, hosted by Jerome McDonnell of WBEZ’s Worldview. Our festival roundup is here. Also in this week’s issue, Ben Sachs has four stars for In a Foreign Land, a story of Spanish immigrants in Scotland, directed by Iciar Bollain (Take My Eyes), and measured praise for It Follows, a John Carpenter-style horror indie about teens menaced by a slow-moving, shape-shifting demon.
