CineYouth
April 25 – 27, 2025
Now in its 20th edition, CineYouth is Cinema/Chicago’s annual film festival celebrating filmmakers 22 and younger from around the world. Since 2005, CineYouth has provided a platform for emerging talent to share their work, connect with fellow filmmakers, and learn from industry professionals. Held annually in Chicago at FACETS, the festival features in-theater and online screenings, hands-on workshops, live Q&As, and more. Best of all, all CineYouth events are FREE and open to the public!
