Documentary Thursdays presents "Cutting Parallel"

Located at the intersection of Broadway and Addison, Third Space is a community hub where people can meet, gather, work, learn, grow and form lasting, meaningful relationships.  There’s a sociological theory that to be happy, people need three spaces that feel like theirs: home, work, and somewhere else. A third space where they can belong, where they are known and would be missed if they were gone. That third space is just what we’re building.

Third Space

Evicted from his Logan Square barber shop, a young Latino navigates an uncertain future while facing his fraught history with his father.

Third Space Chicago

Cutting Parallel explores the history between a young, Latinx barber and aspiring rapper named Cyrus and his father, Mario – each navigating life on the fringe. Cyrus desires to forge his own way in the world; Mario predominantly thinks and speaks about the past while trying to make up for his mistakes, chiefly his absence during Cyrus’ childhood. Cyrus, recently evicted from his barber shop (again) yet always looking forward, envisions how he might rise above circumstances of his own that parallel his father’s.Shira Baron is a Queer filmmaker born and raised in Chicago.
