23rd Onion City Experimental Film and Video Festival
Deadline April 15, 2011
Festival Dates: June 23-26, 2011
Onion City is one of the premiere international festivals exclusively devoted to experimental film and video.
Onion City was founded in the 1980's by the Experimental Film Coalition and run by them for many years. Chicago Filmmakers assumed responsibility for the festival in 2001, and expanded the size and opened it up to video work as well as film. It is generally 8-10 programs over four days and features roughly 60-70 works from around the world. Aside from the competition programs, there are occasional special presentations of new or old films of note or guest presentations. Screenings take place at Chicago Filmmakers and other venues around mid-June.
