The Gene Siskel Film Center selects and presents significant world cinema in a non-commercial context that sets aesthetic, critical, and entertainment standards.

As an integral part of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Gene Siskel Film Center further enhances the educational mission of the school and promotes a dialogue between disciplines.

Internationally recognized and respected for its original film programming, the Gene Siskel Film Center of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago is a vibrant cultural destination that attracts a diverse and creative audience.
