What to Know About the 2026 Chicago International Film Festival

The Chicago International Film Festival returns October 14–25 with new films and the festival’s first Physical Media Fair. Now in its 62nd edition, the event remains North America’s longestrunning competitive film festival. Opening night at the Music Box Theatre will feature Club Kid, the feature directorial debut of writer and actor Jordan Firstman, who is scheduled to attend the October 14 screening and receive the festival’s Breakthrough Award. Elsewhere in the early lineup, James Gray’s Paper Tiger stars Adam Driver, Miles Teller, and Scarlett Johansson, while Martin McDonagh returns with Wild Horse Nine, starring John Malkovich and Sam Rockwell. Pedro Almodóvar’s Bitter Christmas is also among the films announced for the Special Presentation and Spotlight programs. The festival also gives Chicago filmmakers and stories a prominent place. The festival’s centerpiece presentation is Mouse, from Chicago-based filmmakers Kelly O’Sullivan and Alex Thompson, the team behind Ghostlight and Saint Frances. The City & State program, dedicated to work with ties to Chicago

and Illinois, will also host the world premiere of Ever After, a documentary following Chicago chef Curtis Duffy as he opens his restaurant Ever during the pandemic. New this year, the festival’s Physical Media Fair will be free and open to the public on October 17 and 18. Saturday includes conversations, film trivia, and a physical-media swap, followed on Sunday by a pop-up shop selling Blu-rays, DVDs, VHS tapes, posters, books, and other film-related items. The event gives physical formats and film collecting a place alongside the festival’s screenings of new work. For filmmakers and other industry professionals, Industry Days runs October 15 through 18, offering workshops, master classes, roundtables, and networking events. The Chicago International Film Festival first opened in 1965, when eight films competed in its feature category at the Carnegie Theatre. More than six decades later, the festival retains the international focus that helped establish it while giving Chicago filmmakers, local stories, and now physical-film culture their own place within it.

CHICAGO LUXURY, DONE DIFFERENTLY. Unmatched access to the city's finest homes, paired with honest advocacy and a seamless experience getting there.

The difference is in the details. Regan Hanley is deeply embedded in Chicago's luxury market — new construction, penthouses, and the highly sought-after homes that rarely reach the open market. A member of Home Collective, ranked in the top 1% of Realtors nationwide, she brings an eye for construction quality and long-term value, as well as a highly respected reputation in the industry that opens doors before a building is listed. What she does with that access is where the difference shows. Regan's career began in high-end hospitality, where anticipating a need before it’s voiced is a given, and she conducts her business by the same standard. Questions answered before they are asked. Details resolved before they surface. Her clients arrive at the closing table having never once felt the weight of the process. Her level of care and service is why The RitzCarlton recognizes her as a trusted real estate partner, and why new clients come to her by way of referral and high praise. Above all, she is a loyal yet honest advisor. Regan will tell you when a property is not worth the premium, when a beautiful home is hiding problems you would inherit, or when the right move is to wait. Some luxury agents are focused on closing deals. Regan is focused on the people on the other side of them.

Come feel the vibe!This gracious Hedgewood 1.5-story home has a little swagger...think Frank Sinatra on the turntable, a fire glowing in the fireplace and cocktails with friends as the sun goes down. With a main-level primary suite, dramatic architecture and a fabulous connection to the outdoors, this is a home that feels both timeless and effortlessly cool. The two-story foyer sets the tone with beautifully maintained original parquet floors. They flow into the vaulted family room, where fresh paint, builtins and a dramatic wall-to-wall fireplace and hearth create the perfect backdrop for everything from quiet Sunday mornings to lively cocktail parties. Pour an Old Fashioned, cue up Sinatra and settle in by the fire...this room was made for it! Continue into the freshly painted formal dining room where an oversized picture window frames the lush, private backyard. There’s something wonderfully retro about the scale of the rooms and all that natural light-elegant enough for a holiday dinner but relaxed enough to actually enjoy every day. Engineered hardwoods lead to the custom kitchen with smooth maple cabinetry, granite counters, slate backsplash, walk-in pantry and plenty of room to cook and entertain. The stainless appliances includes a double oven, sideby-side refrigerator, dishwasher and new cooktop (2025). The island with breakfast bar and generous eat-in area keep everyone gathered around-because the best parties always seem to end up in the kitchen. Slide open the triple glass doors and step into one of the home’s best surprises: the east-facing sunroom with vaulted ceilings and updated electrical. Surrounded by views of the professionally landscaped property, it’s a natural extension of the living space and an incredible place for morning coffee, evening cocktails or watching the seasons change. The first-floor primary suite is tucked away on the north side of the home for privacy, with rich cherry hardwoods and its own exterior access to a private patio and hot tub. The ensuite feels appropriately indulgent with custom travertine tile, granite-topped double vanity, separate makeup area, oversized walk-in shower with dual shower heads and his-and-hers walk-in closets. Upstairs, you’ll find three spacious bedrooms, plentiful storage and another

full bath with a granite double vanity and full tub/shower. And because every great house should have a little intrigue, there’s even a secret room at the top of the stairs-perfect for a reading hideaway. Downstairs, the fun continues. The finished lower level offers a large second family room ready for movie nights, game nights or your own retro lounge, plus multiple flex spaces for hobbies, bunnies, fitness or guests. There’s also a serious workshop with task lighting, an expansive workbench and wallto-wall storage. Another large flex room offers potential for a fifth bedroom, while a beautifully updated full bath, egress and 8-foot ceilings give the entire lower level a comfortable, finished feel. And then there’s the setting. A deep, tree-lined backyard creates wonderful privacy, while established perennial gardens bring color throughout the seasons. The stamped patio begs for a pair of lounge chairs, something cold to drink and nowhere else you need to be. Yet if the need arises, you are located close to schools, shopping, and interstate access. Mid-century cool, modern comfort and plenty of personality-this isn’t a cookiecutter house. It’s the kind of home that makes you want to light the fire, turn up Sinatra and stay awhile.
