Everything from 1930s American gangster films to French new wave to indie premieres. August has the Black Harvest festival of African-American films; October, the long-running festival of films from Iran; and February has the Hong Kong film festival, which drew big crowds long before Jackie Chan ever came to America.

Editorial Reviews from the web

A snazzy Theater District location for this venerable film institution.

The Venue The theater that movie buffs would design for themselves, given the chance. After climbing a wide staircase to the second floor, you see a lobby that looks more like an art gallery than a movie theater. This glittering mini-movie palace has state-of-the-art projection in its two theaters (one with 200 seats and the other with 64), not to mention sinfully cushy chairs with... more

This is an incredible theater! Its right down town [Over by the ABC TV building on State] One of the greatest film centers in North America. You have to visit this if you are a real film fanatic and you are in Chicago. This is a theater for people who are very passionate about indi films, documentaries, ground breaking movies and tributes to the great film makers of the past.

The Gene Siskel Film Center is a fitting tribute. It shows excellent movies, even though it's only about two at a time... they still are top notch. It's right downtown on State street so its quite easy to get to. As I've said before, this is another great theatre for the art that is cinema, and anyone who loves a good movie, will love the GS Film Center!

Many years ago, I had the pleasure of briefly working with Gene (and his former film critic partner, Roger Ebert). I can tell you from personal experience that Gene was a good and talented man. I am so happy they are honoring his memory with this Film Center. You can enjoy movies that you just won't see at the big chains. They mostly show top quality indie films, and some classics or film... more
