STRUCTURAL COLLAPSE | In-Person (4/12) | Onion City Experimental Film Festival

$12.00

Chicago Filmmakers Firehouse Cinema (1326 W. Hollywood Ave) | Sunday, April 12, 2026 - 12:00PM

Break down with STRUCTURAL COLLAPSE, a lineup of works that burst apart, topple, freak out, undo, disintegrate, and at times sow chaos. Pixels explode, the internet hemorrhages, institutions shut down, and language fails to cohere. We walk through the funhouse, mess up our ABCs, learn to fall, and punch the clock harder than we ever have before.
