Never let the city with big shoulders down.

The 2021 edition of the Chicago Critics Film Festival returns after a Covid-induced postponement of the 2020 edition. Unlike in years past going a full week, the 2021 edition will be a weekend long affair, abbreviated, but still to be held at the beautiful Music Box Theater on the north side of Chicago, this Friday, November 12 through Sunday, November 14.

​One thing remains constant after all these years: the CCFF is the only known film festival curated, programmed and operated by a critics organization. 

Wizard World Chicago landed for 2019's show a few weeks ago. While the wattage of stars has dwindled, this year still showcased some magical appearances.

The Ace Universe made its debut in Chicago last year with the Midwest convention debut at Navy Pier. For 2019, they have a new venue and up the ante 3,000 with the guest list.

The 2019 edition of the Wizard World Chicago Comic-Con will be making a big splash Aug. 22-25 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Ill.

The 2019 edition of the annual Chicago Critics Film Festival closed last week, capping a week-long gathering of the windy city critics and filmgoers at the esteemed Music Box Theatre.

This year's line was loaded of diverse outings, with feminine-centric cinema taking center stage. While the Snitch was unable to cover much of the the festival's lineup, we still want to ensure you that the former colleagues of ours always cultivate a rich list of movies. This list no doubt has and will leave impressions on those who rent or purchase them in the future. The message is true: seek them out. 

Below is what the Snitch was live, in-person to check out.

The 7th annual Chicago Critics Film Festival kicks off tonight at the Music Box Theatre in the Wrigleyville neighborhood of Chicago and runs a full week through Thursday, May 23. Many hits and talked-about films from the major festival circuit will be making their Windy City premieres during the seven-day event, with plenty of guests to discuss the showcase of their filmmaking efforts. 

The Chicago Critics Film Festival, the first known film festival programmed and selected by a critics organization, opens its 7th annual lineup at the Music Box Theatre May 17-23 with an impressive lineup of hits from Sundance & SXSW, guests and a notable sci-fi horror classic.
