Blue Whiskey will present over 30 films with character-driven stories from around the globe during the in-person event, including seven outstanding indie films made by local Illinois filmmakers.
The tenth annual Blue Whiskey Independent Film Festival (BWiFF) opens this weekend at Chicago Filmmakers (5720 North Ridge Avenue, Chicago, IL), marking the start of a two-week long celebration of character-driven independent films from across the globe as well as from local Illinois filmmakers.
Out of hundreds of entries considered this year, the festival’s selection committee has chosen 34 films from 10 countries for exhibition during the in-person event. The line-up will feature seven outstanding indie films made by local Illinois filmmakers.
Due to the ongoing global health crisis, the Blue Whiskey Independent Film Festival (BWiFF) Board of Directors have made the decision to postpone the 10th annual festival until July 2021 at Chicago Filmmakers.
Earlier this week, festival staff were invited to share what their favorite Independence Day-themed film was and why their selection still resonates with them. Below is a collection of their reflections on Fourth of July films of the past today.
