There is still plenty of space in our virtual party room,
but the in-person event at The Plant is sold out.
Friday, March 4, 6 to 8 p.m. Central Standard Time
The Plant, 1400 W. 46th St., Chicago
Mark your calendars for our 2022 Filmmakers Toast and Festival Launch Party, Friday, March 4, from 6 to 8 p.m. CST. This year there are two ways to join the fun—live at The Plant, at 1400 W. 46th St., in Chicago, or a livestream of the event for folks who prefer to join from home.
Be sure to grab a yummy “Turn-the-Tide”-themed beverage (buzzy or non-buzzy, your choice), because we’re kicking things off with a round of heart-warming toasts from several of this season’s featured filmmakers. Click here for the recipe, specially designed by by Denisse Soto, mixologist and CEO of La Chingona Mik in Chicago.
In accordance with CDC guidelines for congregate settings, a well-fitting mask is required at this event.
Co-Director Tara Eng of ‘One the Fenceline’ will appear online.
For those attending from home, create Festival Cocktail Oceania.
Director Robin Frohardt of ‘Plastic Bag Store: The Film’ will appear online.
The Festival Launch Party will feature a riveting filmmakers panel, award-winning short films from our Young Filmmakers Contest, and other special guest appearances. We'll end the evening with pizza and drinks at the adjoining Whiner Beer Company downstairs for our in-person guests, and some continuing online festivities for our virtual attendees. What a fun way to usher in a brand new spring season. Plus, proceeds from this event help us to keep our change-making events free, so that more people can participate in climate action. Join us!
