2012 International Summer Screenings Program

Forever Enthralled Mei Lanfang, September 19 and 22Cinema/Chicago, together with the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events and consular and cultural partners, presents the 9th annual International Screenings Program, voted by the Chicago Reader as the “Best Free Film Series in Chicago” in 2010.

This popular weekly free film series, running April 11 - September 29, 2012, showcases 22 films from around the world that are not widely available in the U.S. The films, representing a wide array of genres from quirky comedies to hair-raising thrillers to emotionally-charged dramas and eye-opening documentaries, celebrate the richness and diversity of the human experience. 

Films are screened every Wednesday at 6:30 pm, and most have encore screenings on the following Saturday at 2 pm.  Doors open 45 minutes before start time. Please arrive early as seating is on a first-come, first-served basis and is limited to theater capacity. Admission is not guaranteed. Films are unrated. Viewer discretion is advised.
