The Chicago International Film Festival turned 56 this year and is exploring new ways to bring cinema to people's doorsteps. One of the longest running film festivals has faced challenges with the current pandemic, but is pivoting by offering most of the films at home.
Founded in 1964, the popular film festival continues in the tradition of launching movies early to eager audiences. From October 14 through 25, many will be seen virtually with a few films shown at the ChiTown Movies Drive-In, 2343 S. Throop St.
