GEN ART CHICAGO FILM FESTIVAL JUNE 23 - 27, 2009

4 Premieres / 4 Parties

Summer is almost here! And only the Gen Art Chicago Film Festival presented by Acura brings you four nights of film premieres, parties, and the people who love them: from the directors and stars to film industry and Chicago's tastemaking audience. Coming off the heels of the highly successful 14th Annual Gen Art Film Festival which concluded last April in New York, which drew the likes of Alec Baldwin, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Jaime Kennedy, Leelee Sobieski, Jill Hennessy and others, Chicago should get prepared.

Each evening there is the Chicago premiere of one short and one feature film, followed by an after-party at one of the city's best nightspots - giving you the chance to be part of the red carpet experience while discovering the films and filmmakers that will define their genres for years to come.

All Access Passes provide the holder with express entrance and reserved seating at all premieres, as well as access to after-party with two hour sponsored bar provided by Three Olives Vodka and Stella Artois beer. Individual night tickets are also available and include access to the premiere and after-party with sponsored bar on each night.

All Access Pass Holders get 2 complimentary tickets to private Launch Party on June 11th at The Underground.
