A New Kind of Film Festival For a Year Like No Other
The Chicago Onscreen Local Film Showcase is an annual celebration of local film and filmmakers presenting free screenings of locally-made and Chicago-focused films in parks across the city since 2014. In this summer like no other, we’ve expanded our offerings to give you three ways to safely enjoy local films – outdoor screenings, drive-in movies and a three-week virtual film festival. We’re committed to continue bringing you the freshest voices in local filmmaking and to celebrating the filmmakers and film workers who call Chicago their home.
