Why?
Opportunities to see and to show new work in analog film formats are rare. This is especially true for short films made outside of mainstream funding and distribution channels. Nonetheless, artists and filmmakers across the world remain dedicated to making and exhibiting film prints of their work in every gauge, from 8mm, super 8, 16mm, 35mm, all the way up to 70mm, pushing analog filmmaking in bold and exciting new directions.
Celluloid Now is a showcase for work that makes use of the unique properties of analog film, and an opportunity for the general public to see this work projected live.
Support this work with a donation to the Chicago Film Society.
