Director: Mercedes Kane
Documentary: 50 Minutes
An affectionate homage...Ina Pinkney is a Chicago legend of the tastiest kind. Known as the Breakfast Queen, she fed Chicagoans for 33 years first, out of a small bakery and, most recently, from her beloved breakfast nook in the West Loop. Surviving polio as an infant, Ina now suffers the effects of post-polio syndrome which caused her to make the difficult decision to close the doors of her celebrated establishment at the end of 2013. The film chronicles the last days of the restaurant as she and her staff serve the final meals.
THE LAST BLINTZ

English
Director: Dori Berinstein
Documentary: 30 Minutes
An American Dream-Come-True storyThe Café Edison (aka The Polish Tea Room) is the story of a multi-generational, big-hearted, mom-and-pop family business that is tragically and prematurely coming to an end to make room for a five-star, white tablecloth restaurant. Its also about gentrification and all-consuming greed. Its an impassioned plea for progress that honors the past, protects the future, and preserves the heart and culture of our great citiesbefore theres nothing left.
