Monday, March 27 at 7:30pm | The Midwest Film Festival is dedicated to nurturing the rising talents in filmmaking hailing from the Midwest region. We cordially invite you to attend the Emerging Filmmaker Night at The Gene Siskel Film Center on Monday, March 27, 2023. This special event will showcase 10 films created by emerging filmmakers who are in the first decade of their careers, also known as "10 under 10." These artists may still be in film school or may have recently entered the industry, but they are now an essential part of our community. This event is a celebration of their hard work and creativity. For more information and to purchase tickets, please visit our website at www.midwestfilm.com.

The event will start at 6:30pm with a Networking Reception, followed by the screening at 7:30pm, Q&A and capped with the After Party at Emerald Loop Bar & Grill.
