The Chicago Film Society (CFS) is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to promoting and preserving celluloid film and celluloid film culture. Internationally known for historically informed screenings of 35mm, 70mm, 16mm and 8mm films [1] , the CFS also maintains a film archive and has collaborated on film restorations.[2]
Influence

Events
