“With Chicago being a world-class city of culture as both a hub of arts production and tourism, this initiative shines a light on the importance and interdependence of its film and television community that also includes film venues and festivals, and academic institutions that teach the craft and its history. All of these sectors combined will be all the more impactful to stimulate economic growth and enhance the education and entertainment that this city has to offer to residents and visitors alike.” - Erin Harkey, DCASE Commissioner |
