| Mission Statement |
Chicago Filmmakers is a 30 year-old media arts organization that fosters the creation, appreciation and understanding of film and video as media for artistic and personal expression, as well as media of important social and community impact. Our mission is to provide an opportunity for artists to make films outside the mainstream marketplace, to distribute and exhibit this work, as well as to build audiences and to increase media attention for it. Recognizing the impact of mass media in contemporary society, it is additionally our goal to provide culturally diverse audiences with alternative images to those reflected in mainstream media and to broaden access to media education to include those typically left out of the process.

The Co-op is the equipment access, information/resource, education and membership services project of Chicago Filmmakers. The Co-op provides low-cost access to 16mm production and post-production equipment, publishes a quarterly newsletter (POV), conducts film workshops and seminars and holds informal members' screenings. The Co-op offers its members discounts at labs and sound studios, on filmmaking supplies and publications, and reduced rates for CF classes and workshops. Membership is $50 per year and is open to any filmmaker working on an independent, non-commercial project. Equipment access is available on a 24-hour basis. The Co-op allows filmmakers who cannot pay rental fees to pay in volunteer labor.
