Reeling: The Chicago LGBTQ+ International Film Festival is back next month for its 41st year.
This year’s festival kicks off Sept. 21 at the Music Box Theatre, 3733 N. Southport Ave., with a screening of Andy Vallentine’s “The Mattachine Family.” The film stars suburban Wilmette native Nico Tortorella as one half of a couple whose foster child returns to his birth mother, prompting them to rethink their ideas of what makes a family.
