CHICAGOLAND SHORTS VOL. 3

Dir. various, 2017
USA. 75 min.

Chicagoland Shorts Vol. 3 brings together the best of the citys so-called niche cinema experimental genres and works by queer filmmakers, women, and people of color, combining them into one expansive, rich evening of film.

The short films collected in Chicagoland Shorts Vol. 3 span many disciplines: experimental animation, observational doc, music videos. The filmmakers run the gamut from internationally renowned auteurs, young voices, an Emmy-winner, a Fulbright Fellow, and a Wexner resident. Chicagoland Shorts highlights the diversity of Chicagos film community, helping general audiences experience cinematic versions of Chicago they may have never thought to access.
