Chicagoland Shorts Vol. 2

Chicagoland Shorts Vol. 2 is the latest installment in a series that celebrates the vastness of the Chicago experience. This 90-minute program brings together the best of experimental, dance, narrative, and documentary short films from a diverse range of perspectives and joins them into one expansive, rich and engaging evening of cinema.

The ten filmmakers featured in Vol. 2 represent some of the most original and innovative voices in Chicago. They include up-and-coming talents as well as established auteurs whose award-winning films have screened at festivals nationally and internationally including Cannes, Tribeca, Sundance, Berlin, Vienna, Rotterdam, and Chicago International.

Chicagoland Shorts Vol. 2 is presented by Full Spectrum Features NFP, a Chicago-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to increasing diversity in the media arts by producing, exhibiting, and supporting the work of women, LGBTQ, and minority filmmakers while raising awareness of social justice issues and inspiring change.
