Hopefully if enough people contribute to this thread with links, dates, etc. we should be able to evade the recurring issue of movie availability when it comes time for the end of the year voting.
Post pretty much anything and everything but especially ones in the Chicagoland area for obvious reasons.
Full Version: 2009 Film Festival Thread
I'm pretty much beside myself that the Chicago International Documentary Festival was cancelled this year.
QUOTE
Due to funding problems in the city of Chicago and our unwillingness to compromise a quality of the Chicago International Documentary Festival, the CIDF Board of Governors made a difficult decision to cancel the 2009 CIDF dates and postpone next festival edition until further notice. We are sorry for any inconvenience that decision may create to our partners, filmmakers, and audiences.
Ybor Festival of the Moving Image April 1-5th
I say this mostly because I will probably be showing my own short film there, I'm pretty excited. Never even attended a film fest and now I'm going to show at one
Albeit, I'll probably just be in the student film fest section... but still!

25th Chicago Latino Film Festival
For 25 years now, the Chicago Latino Film Festival has cultivated an intricate network of Latino artists, creators, and innovators from film and art communities. Over 3,000 people attend the Festival’s special events, including international media, celebrities and Chicago's movers and shakers. Festival guests experience Chicago life and its rich cultural scene, making the Chicago Latino Film Festival a jewel to the City, as it contributes greatly to its positioning as a world-class city.
The Chicago Latino Film Festival will celebrate its Silver Anniversary, as the oldest and most comprehensive Latino film festival in the country, representing over 100 films in an array of genres –fiction, animation, documentary, and shorts that reflect the great diversity of Latino culture from the United States, Latin America, Portugal, and Spain.
The Chicago Latino Film Festival, in addition to other cultural events hosted by the Center, aims to provoke the audience and challenge oversimplified mainstream standardized images of Latino identity by demonstrating through cultural expressions, that Latinos are defined by more than 20 different nationalities and come from diverse racial and social backgrounds.
