THE CHICAGO INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL RETURNS THIS OCTOBER
North America’s longest-running competitive film festival returns from October 16th to 27th, for its 60th anniversary. This year, the Chicago International Film Festival will take place at several iconic venues, including the AMC NEWCITY 14, the Gene Siskel Film Center, and the Chicago History Museum.
With a meticulously curated lineup of over 120 feature films and 70 short films from around the world, the festival showcases comedies, groundbreaking documentaries, and masterful retrospectives designed to captivate even the most discerning audience. Beyond the screenings, attendees can enjoy exclusive events such as intimate director panels, lavish soirées, and various networking opportunities.
For nearly six decades, the Chicago International Film Festival has been a gateway to the finest in global cinema, drawing film connoisseurs, art patrons, and industry elites alike. This prestigious event has not only cemented its legacy as North America’s longest-running competitive film festival but also served as a launchpad for emerging talent, introducing visionary directors who have since become icons of world cinema, including Martin Scorsese, Wim Wenders, and Bertrand Tavernier.
In its commitment to diverse storytelling, the festival continues to bring films otherwise unavailable in Chicago, enriching the city’s cultural landscape with an array of international stories. This dedication is embodied in Cinema/Chicago, the festival’s parent organization, which works year-round to promote intercultural dialogue through cinema.
Among the most anticipated screenings is The Piano Lesson, a masterful adaptation of August Wilson’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play. Produced by the Oscar nominees Denzel Washington and Todd Black, the film features an all-star cast, including Samuel L. Jackson,
John David Washington, and Erykah Badu, and marks co-writer Malcolm Washington’s feature directorial debut.
Another standout, The Return, offers a grand reinterpretation of Homer’s Odyssey, blending the epic tale with Shakespearean levels of passion, political intrigue, and power struggles. The cast is led by Ralph Fiennes as Odysseus and Juliette Binoche as Penelope, reuniting the two 25 years after their Oscar-winning performances in The English Patient.
The Art of Joy, directed by Valeria Golino, also promises to be a visual treat. Based on Goliarda Sapienza’s controversial 1970s novel, the film immerses viewers in Modesta’s world through opulent cinematography and meticulous direction, creating a richly absorbing experience.

My passion for real estate is derived from a personal life experience. I’m mother of two children therefore I have observed the struggles of the home buying process firsthand. Since going through this process caused me to reflect on how many other individuals are having the same issue. The lack of information, resources, and affordable options are not offered to hard working people within lowerand middle-income communities. This experience ignited a deep desire to share the knowledge and give financial resources back to the community through training’s, credit repair, seminars, etc. The mission is to gather a group of like-minded people like myself and educate them on why home ownership is important, and to help revitalize the community we live. I want to share my expertise from my own learning experience to target single men and women with children to give them inspiration and knowledge they are lacking. I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to find affordable housing to live in safety and security.
