The Chicago Critics Film Association throws an annual film fest, giving the public a chance to see buzzed-about unreleased films and overlooked movies that deserve to be seen on the big screen. This year's lineup includes a 30th anniversary screening of Gillian Armstrong's Little Women, Chicago-made Sundance Film Festival breakout Ghostlight and The Fabulous Fleischer Cartoons Restored, a series of animated shorts originally produced by Max Fleischer between 1919-1942. Check out the complete festival lineup on the Chicago Critics Film Festival website.
Welcome to another weekend! Take a load off by soaking in a spa or spending some time at the best Chicago attractions. Head to Navy Pier for Mexico Fest, the Lakefront Loop 5K or a new exhibit on House music. You can also spend an evening with Phil Rosenthal or catch some slasher flicks during the Chicago Horror Film Festival. So ready to make the most of your time off? Check out the rest of the best things to do in Chicago this weekend.
