Do you really want to navigate the Festival? Get a bunch of your film fellow travelers and see the films, and discuss them afterwards. If your family has immigrant roots in another country – which is virtually every American – then see a reflection of life in that country today by taking in the international selections. Want to talk to filmmakers or participate in Q&As? The AMC River East will be packed with programs and similarly interested participants. It’s time for the 55th Chicago International Film Festival, it’s time to come together for the movies.
