As of December 1st, “CFA is 10” is SOLD OUT. If you’d like to show your support for CFA in other ways, please consider joining us on Tuesday, December 9th at the Hideout for CFA CRASHERS: Mimi Thi Nguyen. Or consider making a tax deductible donation here. Each contribution both large and small is critical to our continuing work.
You are cordially invited to join Chicago Film Archives as we celebrate 10 years of preserving Chicago’s rich history and culture on film. We welcome you to usher in the next 10 by joining us for music, food, drink and of course cinema.
Alison Cuddy, Theaster Gates and David Pasquesi join forces to bring you an enlightening and fun evening high above the city to benefit CFA.
Our featured film screening is constructed by the talented actor/stage director David Pasquesi who heads up (with collaborator TJ Jagodowski) Chicago’s new Mission Theater and the excellent comedy revue TRAP.
Food will be provided by Chicago farm-to-table favorite, Lula Cafe. Plus a special one-of-a-kind cake courtesy of food stylist supreme, Mary Valentin!
Help CFA collect, preserve and exhibit our extraordinary, historic and often unique films that reflect our twentieth century lives.
