Facets
EST. 1975
Ever think about how there’s over 130 years of film, but it’s still so exhausting to actually find something good to watch?
Let us be your guide. Using our 45+ years of experience, we create cinematic experiences for youth and adults that foster vital conversations and community action through film exhibitions, media education, and film resources.
Best of Chicago
FACETS is honored to be included on Newcity's ``Best of Chicago`` list for 2023.
FACETS at 50
Celebrate our Past.
Support our Future.
FACETS is turning 50 and we’ve launched something big to celebrate. Introducing the FACETS 50th Anniversary Fund, a $1 million campaign to support our mission and deepen our impact.
This year, FACETS celebrates 50 years of bold, independent cinema. For five decades, we’ve championed stories that matter, brought global voices to Chicago, and created a space where film sparks conversation and community.
We’re asking you to be part of this moment. With your help, we’ll expand youth access to film education, support emerging filmmakers, and keep FACETS an essential cultural home for all who believe in the power of independent film.
