As a part of Chicago Filmmakers’ ongoing retrospective of our 50 year history, we look back at the legacy of the Women in the Director’s Chair (WIDC) festival, which had its start at Chicago Filmmakers.
As part of our celebration of the amazing films that were highlighted over the course of the festival’s history, we’re making a selection available to view in their entirety online for a week following our in-person event.
Join us in-person for a community discussion on Saturday, May 18! Reception begins at 6:30, program at 7:00pm. Buy tickets HERE.
