A Multi-Venue Screening Series and Symposium
WHITE LIGHT CINEMA is a new, alternative film screening series designed to complement the programming of other local film venues and organizations by presenting, alone and in collaboration, rare, obscure, overlooked, and resolutely non-commercial films and videos that have either not been screened in Chicago or have not shown in years.
While focusing heavily on great works by avant-garde film masters, the series
aims to include both retrospective and contemporary films and videos that
range across a wide spectrum of alternative cinema. White Light Cinema will
present works demonstrating significant aesthetic merit, originality of vision,
radical and commanding investigations of form, and challenging provocations
to mainstream film and media conventions.
