Filmmaking on the South Side

'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 Michelle Kennedy, Yvonne Welbon, Justin D. Williams, and Margaret Caples 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, including an episode of Spinning Home Movies by Rae Chardonnay, Save Our School, and Change the Name.'
