“As a member of Cinema/Chicago I’ve had the opportunity to meet so many interesting people. I met my boyfriend at a screening. Nearly two years later we’re both members, and screenings are our date nights.”

“I get discounts during the Festival, I see free films before everyone else, and at the same time, I’m supporting a nonprofit organization all year long.”

Membership
Access to the latest and greatest in international cinema doesn’t end when the last red carpet of the Chicago International Film Festival is rolled up. Cinema/Chicago members come from all across the metropolitan area and from all walks of life. They share an extraordinary love of film and the desire to continue their Festival experience throughout the year. In addition to discounted rates at the Festival, member benefits include invitations to private members-only screenings, advance studio previews, and special Cinema/Chicago events.
Our members have been the first in Chicago to see The Cave of Forgotten Dreams, The Hangover Part II, Beginners (with director Mike Mills in attendance), Sarah's Key (with director Gilles Paquet-Brenner in attendance), Page One: A Year Inside the New York Times, Just Like Us, and many other hotly anticipated films from around the world.
Sign up today! Individual memberships start at $50 per year (think about it... that’s less than the cost of about five movies). Bragging rights are included.
