CFA + The Hideout: AMATEUR HOUR
Tired of over-polished, over-long, soulless Hollywood fare? Long for something shorter, stranger and with more midwestern accents? On April 14, CFA teams up with The Hideout for a virtual screening of amateur and student films from our collection.
The midwest is a strange place. And when you collect and preserve the filmic heritage of the region, like we do at Chicago Film Archives, you come across a lot of weird and wonderful things produced by art school students, cine-clubs, school children and other so-called “amateur” filmmaking enthusiasts. This hour long program is guaranteed to make you want to grab a camera, some cheap film stock, and your weirdest friends and start getting to work on your own off-kilter masterpiece (which you will then donate to CFA, right?).
