The '''Chicago International Film Festival''' is an annual [[film festival]] held every fall. Founded in 1964 by [[Michael Kutza]], it is the longest-running competitive film festival in North America. Its logo is a stark, black and white close up of the composite eyes of early film actresses [[Theda Bara]], [[Pola Negri]] and [[Mae Murray]], set as repeated frames in a strip of film.<ref>{{cite web| title=Our Logo| url=https://www.chicagofilmfestival.com/about-us/mission-history/| publisher=The Chicago International Film Festival| access-date=October 25, 2017}}</ref>

In 2010, the 46th Chicago International Film Festival presented 150 films from more than 50 countries. The Festival's program is composed of many different sections, including the International Competition, New Directors Competition, Docufest, Black Perspectives, Cinema of the Americas, and Reel Women.

Its main venue is the [[River East Center|AMC River East 21]] Theatre in the [[Streeterville]] neighborhood of Chicago.

==International Connections Program==
The International Connections Program was created in 2003 in order to raise awareness of the international film culture and diversity of [[Chicago]], and to make the festival more appealing to audience and staff of various ethnicities. Foreign films are screened for free throughout the city weekly from July through September.
