HISTORY
The first Chicago Lesbian and Gay International Film Festival took place in April 1981 in Chicago Filmmakers' 90-seat folding-chair screening room on West Hubbard Street. The festival sold out nearly every screening, leaving audiences demanding more. The enthusiasm for the festival led to a commitment on the part of Chicago Filmmakers to continue the festival as an annual event, making it the second oldest festival of its kind in the world.
WHAT WE DO
The festival provides a unique opportunity for the celebration of LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered) identity for a community too often misrepresented or ignored in mainstream film and television. The mission of Reeling is to recognize the important artistic contributions that LGBT filmmakers have made to our culture; to educate the general population and sensitize them to LGBT issues; to investigate the history of LGBT people in film, including the stereotyping that has been a major part of this history; and to counteract this stereotyping with valid, meaningful, and diverse portrayals of LGBT people.

HOW YOU HELP
As importantly, you are contributing to keeping the world’s second oldest LGBT film festival vibrant and going strong. Your membership helps to ensure that we have the resources to bring the best films in the world to Chicago audiences and encourages Reeling to grow from an annual event to a year-round program of screenings and special events. And because Reeling is a production of Chicago Filmmakers, a not-for-profit organization, higher level memberships are considered contributions and are tax deductible to the extent provided by law.
