The Chicago Film Society returns with another edition of Celluloid Now, which will feature screenings and workshops celebrating contemporary analog film exhibition and artist filmmaking, projected entirely on film. The public is invited to watch screenings of 16mm films from around the world. The free festival, put on by the city of Chicago’s Cultural Affairs and Special Events Department, also partnered with Taste of Chicago Humboldt Park on Saturday, offering a wide variety of food options for festival-goers.
Dates and times
The music festival will be Saturday at the Humboldt Park Boathouse Lawn and feature such performers as Noshaluv, Roy Davis Jr. and the iconic Robert Owens (who will also deliver a keynote fireside chat from 8-9 p.m. Friday at the Chicago Cultural Center’s Preston Bradley Hall). The endangered status of the building that once housed the legendary Warehouse nightclub illuminated the urgent need to preserve Chicago's House history. The fight to prevent the Warehouse's demolition created an intergenerational movement demonstrating what community organizing can accomplish.
Tickets are also available in-person at the screening, based on availability. The first of the three-part Open House series presents a Social Spectacular throughout the Chicago Cultural Center. This June, the Open House series opens with an evening to experience free art activations, visual art residencies, performance art residencies, and a chance to interact with artists in residence at the Dance Studio and Learning Lab.
