CHICAGO FILM SOCIETY

CHICAGO, Illinois, 60615-5838 United States

Mission Statement

The primary purposes of the Chicago Film Society are to educate the public about the material and cultural history of film and to make the work of film archives and other film preservation efforts accessible to the public through screenings of film prints, educational presentations, and the production of other educational materials and related activities.

About This Cause

The Chicago Film Society makes rare and classic films available to local audiences in their original forms — on 35mm and 16mm motion picture film. Our screenings spotlight the restoration efforts of archives, studios, and private collectors, as well as the experience of seeing films projected in a theater with an audience. Through an array of program notes, extended blog entries, and introductory remarks before each screening, the Chicago Film Society endeavors to bring new notions of the cultural and material history of cinema to the public.
