  As part of a newly formed strategic partnership, CAFF and Filmmaker Friday Chicago are excited to announce a unique event, “The Smart Festival Strategy: From Submission to Showing Up”. This collaborative event is designed to support creatives as they navigate the film festival circuit, offering practical guidance on everything from completing their films at the right moment to getting the most out of festival opportunities after acceptance.

  Join us for this FREE event on Friday, July 17, from 6 PM to 9 PM at the Cassidy Theatre in the Chicago Cultural Center, located at 78 E. Washington, 60602 2nd floor. The evening will feature:

  • An expert panel discussion sharing insights, hosted by Armin Korsos
  • Networking opportunities for members of both organizations
  • Identification of internship opportunities offered by CAFF members to the Filmmaker Friday Chicago
