Chicago filmmakers can bring their work into conversation with an audience before it is finished. Doc Chicago’s October 7 meetup and works-in-progress screening takes place Wednesday from 7 to 9 p.m. at PO Box Collective, 6900 N. Glenwood Ave.
The evening is organized around feedback and collective brainstorming. It is part of Doc Chicago’s broader programming for documentary makers, which includes monthly gatherings, film events and an annual Midwest mini-conference.
Its host makes sense for a gathering built around sharing unfinished work. PO Box Collective describes its Rogers Park space as a home for radical art, mutual aid and intergenerational community building. It uses a horizontal organizing model and commits to never requiring payment for programming associated with the collective.
For people looking for local film culture beyond a premiere or festival ticket, this is a chance to participate in the process: watching, responding and helping someone figure out what comes next.
The event listing notes ramp access, an accessible bathroom and two air purifiers; masks are optional. Find current details on PO Box’s event page.
