The Oscar-winning director and son of Chicago will be back home on Oct. 27 to receive the Founder’s Legacy Award on closing night of the 60th Chicago International Film Festival (CIFF), with CIFF founder Michael Kutza presenting. That same evening, the recently renovated Music Box Theatre will be the venue for a screening of Zemeckis’ highly anticipated feature “Here,” which reunites him with “Forrest Gump” actors Tom Hanks and Robin Wright and screenwriter Eric Roth for the first time in 30 years.
