CATE is organized by the School of the Art Institute of Chicago's Department of Film, Video, and New Media in collaboration with the Gene Siskel Film Center and the Video Data Bank.

Programs take place Thursdays at 6pm at the Gene Siskel Film Center (164 N. State / Chicago, IL / 312-846-2600), unless otherwise noted."

He was a renowned abstract painter, with exhibitions in the U.S. and abroad, before he turned to filmmaking and moved to New York City in the 1940s.
