About Onion City

The Onion City Experimental Film Festival is one of the premiere international festivals exclusively devoted to experimental film and video. Our mission is to provide local and regional audiences with an opportunity to view a wide variety of contemporary experimental works, focused on artistic excellence, but also with an eye towards representing differing styles, forms, and nationalities.

Onion City is a production of Chicago Filmmakers, a media arts non-profit that provides education, film exhibition and resources for filmmakers and film lovers.
