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) film festival with co-founder Gaylon Emerzian who will screen clips and short films from WIDC alums. Emerzian will be joined by Susan Kerns, co-founder of the Chicago Feminist Film Festival, to discuss the impact of WIDC and the current realities for female identifying filmmakers.
Join us at 6:30pm for a pre-screening reception!
