We are deeply saddened by the loss of Ken Nordine, a dear friend and the voice of the Chicago International Film Festival. One of the most distinctive voices in the aural landscape, Ken lent his extraordinary talent and unsurpassed creativity through his visually and sonically stimulating Festival trailers for five decades. We awarded Ken with a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2011, recognizing his immeasurable contributions to the Chicago creative community. We will miss his generous spirit, good humor and undeniable originality.[…]
