The South Loop Has Its Own Film Festival!!!



South Loop Film Festival

Get  ready for the 2nd annual South Loop Film Festival!  Proceeds of the event will go to the South Chicago Art Center.  Tickets can be purchased for $10 online, by calling 312.435.4600 or at the door.
The screening will take place on Thursday, April 28th at 7:30pm at the ICON Theatre on Roosevelt Road. Everyone will receive a sweet swag bag of goodies.  

The first film festival last year was a huge success, 17 short films  were screened before a packed house at the ICON (everything from narrative to animation to documentaries to music videos, etc), had a Q&A with 9 of the filmmakers (from all over the Midwest), gave out really great swag bags to the entire audience and all the filmmakers and had a local vendor fair before the screenings.  An audience award was given to the animated short Chicken Cowboy.
