Filmmaking is flourishing in Chicago, including across neighborhoods on the South Side. Join CHF and our local partners from Sisters in Cinema, South Side Home Movie Project, and the Chicago South Side Film Festival for a conversation about the development of community-based film resources and infrastructure on the South Side. Panelists will also discuss how Chicago’s film scene is evolving to particularly support local women and nonbinary Black and brown artists. This event will feature a screening of short works reflecting the vibrancy of film culture of Chicago’s South Side.

Picture an art critic, and you probably think of Jerry Saltz: Pulitzer Prize-winning writer on the importance of art in our cultural lives. At the top of his field, Saltz has a knack for making contemporary art cool and accessible in a way few critics have before. In a conversation with Michael Darling, Saltz looks at how visionary artists have documented and challenged our culture, our times, and our lives.
