Community Cinema

Presented by Wintrust

Community Cinema brings free screenings and post-film conversations to neighborhoods across Chicago. The program spotlights compelling stories and ignites conversations around timely social and cultural themes, while upholding the artistic excellence of the Festival. At its core, Community Cinema is about access, inclusion, and building community through the power of film.

This year, Community Cinema screenings will be hosted at the National Museum of Mexican Art in Pilsen and Kennedy-King College in Englewood.
