Mistaken For Strangers (Tom Beringer, 2014, 1 hr. 15 min): Tuesday, August 5, 8 p.m. ($5 general admission)

Matt and Tom Beringer, two brothers from Cincinnati, come together to unknowingly bring about one of the best band documentaries to date. Matt, the leader singer of popular indie-rock band The Nationalasks his younger brother Tom to work as a roadie on the band’s biggest tour to date. Tom, a filmmaker, unbeknownst to Matt and the other band members, proceeds to film his experiences. What starts off as a run-of-the-mill documentary about the rise to success of The National, with some intimate glimpses into life of the band on and off-stage, soon flourishes into a more universal but still unique story about the relationship between two brothers, family and the ups and downs of the creative process, tied together by the underlying theme of ambition and the quest for success

All City Winery Chicago events are open to all ages and start at 8pm, unless noted.
