Filmmaker promotes festival in tough Chicago 'hood (AP)

In this photo taken Wednesday, Oct. 26, 2011, Chicago filmmaker Mark Harris poses on stage at the Lindblom Math and Science Academy where he will host a film festival in the Engelwood neighborhood of Chicago. It's a first for Englewood, a neighborhood that reports Chicago's most violent crime, most abandoned houses and has been declared a 'food desert' by city politicians for its lack of grocery stores. But Harris envisions a two-day festival featuring panel discussions and independent films — including his own about an Englewood girl with Olympic dreams. (AP Photo/Charles Rex Arbogast)AP - Striding quickly through the streets he learned as a boy, Mark Harris handed out fliers hoping to entice people to spend a weekend in Chicago's most violent neighborhood, where barred windows are the norm and even residents keep watchful eyes on their parked cars.
