FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – The Chicago Film Society is proud to announce Celluloid
Now: four days of screenings, workshops, and other events showcasing the
work of analog filmmakers and artists alongside archival rediscoveries and
restorations.

Opportunities to see and to show new work in analog film formats are rare.
This is especially true for short films made outside of mainstream funding
and distribution channels. Nonetheless, artists and filmmakers across the
world remain dedicated to making and exhibiting film prints of their work
in every gauge, from 8mm, super 8, 16mm, 35mm, all the way up to 70mm,
pushing analog filmmaking in bold and exciting new directions.

Celluloid Now is a showcase for work that makes use of the unique
properties of analog film, and an opportunity for the general public to see
this work projected live.



SUBMISSIONS are now open for 2022’s Celluloid Now! Are you an analog
filmmaker? Do you know and like any analog filmmakers? Send them our way!
There is no fee to submit to Celluloid Now and all work that meets the
criteria outlined in our submission rules will be considered. Celluloid Now
accepts every kind of film: narrative, documentary, experimental, home
movies, commercials, music videos, multi-projector films, kinescopes, class
projects, anything! It just has to be on film. Celluloid Now will pay
inbound and outbound shipping for every film in our program. Filmmakers
will receive a screening fee based on the length of their work.
