The Spirit of Chicago Film Festival for Short and Feature Films in the USA

Film Free Way invites amateur and professional filmmakers to participate in the Spirit of Chicago Film Festival in the USA. The festival is a monthly virtual screening series to celebrate the talents of filmmakers. The festival aims to connect local filmmakers with new audiences by providing widely accessible screening opportunities. Accepted films and video projects will be available to stream for one week on CF’s Vimeo channel as a private showcase.

• No length restrictions; shorts, features, featurettes, and episodic works are welcome to submit.
• Chicago premieres are preferred but not required.
• Entrants must provide a brief synopsis of the film, production credits, film stills, a downloadable trailer (if available), and social media handles.
• Selected films and filmmakers are encouraged to promote the programmed screening through their own channels.
• Filmmakers are required to provide CF with a downloadable H.264 file for an online exhibition. Digital files may be shared through Dropbox, WeTransfer, or made accessible to download via FilmFreeway.
• While there is no limit on film length, please reduce file size to less than 5GB for easy transfer via Wi-Fi.
• By submitting, the entrant authorizes a public online screening of the work in the virtual screening series and agrees to provide an exhibition copy for a one-week viewing period.
• Once a film or video project is submitted for entry, it may not be withdrawn.
• Entrant is responsible for ensuring the film or video project meets the Spirit of Chicago criteria and submission guidelines.
