OFF-SITE EVENT @ SCMS2026

Site Visit to Chicago Film Archives, Friday, March 27, 2026, 10:00-11:00am, Chicago



Join the tour of the Chicago Film Archives, a non-profit regional film archive dedicated to identifying, collecting, preserving, and providing access to films that represent the Midwest. It was established in late 2003, originally to preserve and catalog over five thousand 16mm films donated by the Chicago Public Library. CFA currently holds over 40,000 films and other media, including works by avant-garde and experimental artists, documentary, industrial films, as well as amateur and home movies. This visit is hosted by the SCMS Nontheatrical Film and Media SIG.  

Chicago Film Archives Director of Communications & Operations Becca Hall will give us a tour of the facilities and talk about CFA's history, collection, and approach to working with nontheatrical materials.

Space at Chicago Film Archives is limited and can accommodate approximately 20 participants. Please RSVP by March 24, via email to Agata Zborowska (azborowska@uchicago.edu).

The organizers will welcome participants on site, in front of the Chicago Film Archives building. Each participant will receive detailed information about public transportation, including a map showing how to get to the archive on their own (it takes about 30 min, is easy, and convenient!).
