The Chicago Critics Film Festival returns to the Music Box Theatre for its tenth anniversary, with early-bird tickets on sale until Friday, March 24. | ✍️ Maxwell Rabb
The festival, curated entirely by members of the Chicago Film Critics Association , will feature a weeklong schedule of the most anticipated films of the year. Programmed by a team of local critics, the festival aims to champion the year’s best movies, but more importantly, intends to bring those movies to Chicago first.
Unlike other film festivals, the CCFF is the only festival exclusively curated by critics. Composed of recent festival favorites and not-yet-distributed films by both new and renowned directors, the festival is devoted to facilitating a space where Chicagoland residents can experience the most exciting films of the year for an affordable price.
On April 17, the CFCA plans to announce the festival’s entire film selection, alongside a full screening schedule. During the festival, the Music Box Theatre will feature more than 30 critically acclaimed films as well as guest appearances from filmmakers. For regular visitors or newcomers to the Music Box, the CCFF’s programming aligns with Chicago’s premier local theater’s general pursuit of introducing important films to locals.
. The educational initiative provides two emerging film critics in the Chicagoland area with editorial mentorship, festival access, and a $2,500 stipend. The grant is devoted to fostering an interest in film criticism among students and young writers working to start their careers. The winners of the grant will be awarded before this year’s festival and will be given the opportunity to pitch stories about the festival’s lineup to Rotten Tomatoes.
