Doc10, Chicago's only all-documentary film festival, returns to the Davis Theater and Gene Siskel Film Center for its big 10th anniversary. From Friday, April 25 through Sunday, May 4, the festival will screen 10 current documentaries culled from other top festivals around the globe (Sundance, Tribeca), including Elegance Bratton's fiery music feature Move Ya Body: The Birth of House — which will open the 2025 series— and the Closing Night selection Prime Minister from filmmakers Michelle Walshe and Lindsay Utz, centered on New Zealand Prime Minister Rt. Hon. Dame Jacinda Ardern.
Chicago's film offerings are as diverse as the medium itself: omniverous cinemas like the Gene Siskel Film Center and Music Box, offerings in the academic settings of Northwestern's Block Cinema and U. of C.'s Doc Films, large-market indie and foreign films at Landmark Century Centre, and, of course, the megaplexes like AMC River East 21. Whatever you prefer, we've got you covered with our weekly recommendations for movie events happening around the city.
