The opening for the new exhibit Circulation/Circulacion kicks off at 5 with a World AIDS Day candlelight vigil and walk from Division and Western to the Puerto Rican Cultural Center at 2739 W.

French filmmaker Judith Cahen wrote, directed, and starred in the 1999 film The Sexual Revolution Did Not Take Place, in which she plays a 29-year-old woman who works at a community radio station and is worried about where she’s headed. She tries to slow down her life, using a strange machine to monitor her progress. Cahen will discuss her philosophical film after screenings tonight and tomorrow night at 7 at Facets Multimedia Center, 1517 W. Fullerton in Chicago. The event is part of the fourth annual Festival of New French Cinema, which started last Friday and runs through tomorrow. Tickets are $7. Call 773-281-4114 for more.
