Today at the Chicago International Film Festival: A love triangle in 1973 Chile in ‘Spider’
Also, a weird short by Brandon Cronenberg.
‘Shorts 3: Up at Night — After Dark.’’ Deragh Campbell, from the weird 2013 feature “Stinking Heaven,” stars in a really weird short by Canadian filmmaker Brandon Cronenberg (yes, son of David). “Please Speak Continuously and Describe Your Experiences as They Come to You” echoes tech motifs from his 2013 feature “Antiviral.” Electrical implants spark meta-dreams at an asylum recalling Dr. Caligari’s. One of nine shorts programs in the festival, this one includes work from Argentina, Finland and the U.S. Noon Oct. 21; 10:30 p.m. Oct. 26.
