Started in 1964 as a community-supported alternative to the trappings of commercial cinema, Chicago International Film Festival “always feels prestigious whenever I attend—like they’re doing something important for the city of Chicago and its people,” says a panelist. Indeed, CIFF’s year-round non-profit presenting organization, Cinema/Chicago, serves the fest’s commitment to bringing the best of world cinema to the proverbial doorstep of its underserved citizens. Last year’s run tipped its hat to the Chicago Architecture Biennial with a series of architecture docs, and audiences caught the first glimpses of new works by Greta Gerwig, Luca Guadagnino, and Guillermo del Toro to be had in the Windy City.

Have you heard about the Flickers - Children's Hospitals International Film Festival (CHIFF)? This new and growing festival provides a free program of new and amazing short films to the patients of children's hospitals in the US and Canada (and soon Europe) and its the kids who vote on the award winners at each two week hospital event. CHIFF is part of the Rhode Island International Film Festival. CHIFF was recently endorsed by the US Surgeon General who said that great films are great medicine. How cool is that? You can find CHIFF on Facebook and Twitter using @FlickersCHIFF.
How about calling it "Our reviewers 25 favorite festivals" -- for these are festivals that your jury has presumably been to and likes -- and that's fine. To call it the world's 25 coolest is a wee bit presumptuous, no?
Only 5 from the 25 are not in the USA and Crystal Palace International Film Festival (cpiff.co.uk) which is actually known as the UK's coolest festival is not even mentioned!
