Do You Know Chicago's Film History?

Early Cinema

Chicago served as headquarters for movie studios, distribution companies, and the largest movie theater chain in the U.S.

Classical Era

Most production during this time took place in Hollywood, but some films were shot on location in and around Chicago.

Modern Era

Chicago helped launch some of the most successful films of the modern era like Ferris Bueller's Day Off and The Fugitive.

Today

With its tax credits and diversity provisions, Chicago ranks as one of the best places in North America to work as a filmmaker.
