The Chicago European Union Film Festival Spotlight on Belgium
@ Gene Siskel Film Center
164 N State St, Chicago, IL 60601
On view through Sunday, March 10th
For 26 years, the Gene Siskel Film Center has presented the Chicago European Union Film Festival (CEUFF). As we considered the appetites of our audience and the evolution of the European Union (EU), an adaptation of the scope and shape of the festival felt essential—and exciting. It is our immense pleasure, with the support of our cultural partners across the EU, to introduce a new iteration of the festival: an annual spotlight of the country in the EU Presidency. This year, we’re featuring the best in Belgian cinema. Presenting Chicago audiences with a potent cultural immersion and showcasing bright new native talents alongside a slice of repertory favorites, our EU Spotlight will also welcome guests and artists, host special events, and introduce the tastes of the country on display at special events and at our concession stand (yes, there will be Belgian waffles this year!). Join us this year as we dive into the best of Belgian cinema new and old, and set your calendars for the spotlights to come: Poland (2025), Cyprus (2026), and Lithuania (2027).
