Chicago Film Festival picks FINDING NEVERLAND as its Centerpiece Screening!

Heads up, Windy City residents–a special screening of FINDING NEVERLAND, with director Marc Forster taking questions afterwards, is headed your way in mid-October! The 40th annual Chicago Film Festival has chosen to honor FINDING NEVERLAND by naming it as their Centerpiece Screening, which marks the mid-point of the festival which runs from October 7th through the 21st. This is a great showcase for the film and speaks well of the impression it must have made on the festival’s organizing committee. Congratulations to Johnny, Marc, and all the cast and crew of FINDING NEVERLAND!

The official date and time of the FINDING NEVERLAND screening has not yet been announced. The festival will release its screening schedule in mid-September. Individual tickets for all regular Festival screenings go on sale September 24th. Most Festival films will be shown at Landmark’s Century Centre Cinema (2828 N. Clark St.) as well as the AMC River East 21 (322 E. Illinois St.) and Thorne Auditorium (375 E. Chicago Ave.). Ticket prices are usually (thank heavens!) quite modest, in the $10-$15 range. For information, call 312-332.FILM. The festival website doesn’t have much information available yet, but you may want to bookmark it to check for updates after Labor Day.
