Become an Insufferable Film Person

Rows of atmospheric red cinema seats; not a venue photograph of this festival.

You’re not required to become pretentious. But an afternoon with a film that might never reach a streaming homepage is a persuasive start.

Take a chance on a Chicago-made City & State selection, or browse the festival’s themed programs. Book a specific screening rather than expecting a single festival admission.
