Our Mission

Cinema/Chicago, the presenting organization of the Chicago International Film Festival, is a year-round non-profit cultural and educational organization dedicated to fostering better communication between people of diverse cultures through the art of film and the moving image.

We aim to enrich Chicago’s cultural environment by presenting film in contexts that encourage discussion and debate.
