From a documentary celebrating house music to two features about Black women organizers who changed the game, this year's festival is "bringing it home" to Chicago. It runs Nov. 7-16 at the Gene Siskel Film Center.

Kennedy-King College’s Center of Equity for Creative Arts will host a Nov. 7 event, which will include a live discussion, an art activation and a screening of Johnson's "The Folded Map Project — The Movie."

Sunday’s shooting happened outside beloved local bar President’s Lounge, though initial reports linked it to Park Manor 75. The incident came after years of improved safety on the corridor, and businesses are asking for support.

Married couple director Rich Newey and screenwriter Annika Marks capture the complexities of sibling relationships in their film, which is competing in the Chicago International Film Festival’s City & State program.

From a South Side Little League team that made national headlines to the city's vibrant Kyrgyz community, the festival’s City & State program showcases films created for, by and about Chicagoans.

The “fresh food-forward” co-op and cafe will stock grocery staples and goods made by local chefs and entrepreneurs of color.

Married couple Jacare Thomas and Charlette Stanton announced plans for Park Manor 75 in 2022 and will see their dream come to fruition with a community celebration Thursday.

South Side neighbors can access crisis services, therapy, job placement assistance and meet with specialists at the center, which is also hiring.

The South Side choir locked in enough votes from the public Wednesday night after a "brilliant" performance of "Centuries" by Fall Out Boy. They'll perform at the finals next week.

The six-story building has 62 one- to three-bedroom apartments, two live/work lofts and retail space. It was supported by more than $40 million in city funding.
