Meet other local Indie & Documentary film fans. Discuss and recommend indi films, documentaries, and other movies to one another.

The idea is to watch the films that pose various moral/ethical questions or expend awareness about different issues that our society and individuals are facing. Therefore we will be focusing on watching Independent or Documentary films rather than watching typical Hollywood movies that are mostly for entertaining purposes.

Choosing documentary films we will primarily focus on the following topics: Personal Growth, Self Improvement/Empowerment, Spirituality, Global Warming, Ecological/Environmental Issues, Sustainable/Green Technologies, Alternative Energy, Corporate/Industrial/Governmental abuse, Ethical/Moral issues, Vegetarianism/Veganism, Genetically Modified Food/GMO, Alternative Healing. However, we are open to any kind of films that raise any moral, political or other important topics suggested by our members.

We are always looking for information about local film festivals and other opportunities. If there is an event that you'd really like to attend, please volunteer as an event organizer and we'll assist you in getting it together.

If you are a promoter and would like to offer free tickets to our members, please post the information on our message board. For more details about promoting through the Chicagoland Indie & Documentary Films (CIDFilms) meetup visit: www.meetup.com/CIDFilms/messages/boards/thread/9656855

Thank you for your interest, and we look forward to meeting you at one of our events!
