THE ULTIMATE INDY MOVIE

As 11-year-old boys in Mississippi, Chris Strompolos and Eric Zala loved “Raiders of the Lost Ark” so much that set out to make a shot-by-shot remake, starring themselves. Over several years, they almost succeeded, filming everything but the complicated airplane fight. Recently they reunited to complete the film, and their endeavor is chronicled in a documentary, “Raiders! The Story of the Greatest Fan Film Ever Made,” opening Friday at the Music Box Theatre, 3733 N. Clark. Strompolis will be there for a Q&A at a 2 p.m. Sunday double feature of the documentary and the boys’ actual “Raiders” adaptation. Details: musicboxtheatre.com.

CELEBRATE PRIDE

Music on two stages, food, drink, arts & crafts and a Sunday pet parade are featured. This year’s event takes on a very special meaning, in the wake of the horrific tragedy last weekend in Orlando.
