Chicago Film Critics Association Unveils Revamped Site, Awards Coming on Dec. 14
This week, the Chicago Film Critics Association (CFCA) unveiled its completely revamped Web site.
Special thanks go to Web guru Adam Kempenaar and Erik Childress for coordinating the project along with artist Eric Semelroth for the new CFCA logo.
I am told “this is just the beginning version” and links, chatrooms and databases from our critics will be added as well. An updated member list of accredited CFCA critics is now available with biographies. Mine is listed here.
In other news, CFCA members are checking their mailboxes nearly every day this month for DVD screeners of most of the year’s films. The latest CFCA awards will be announced on Dec. 14.
With the addition of a best animated feature award, there are now 15 award categories for this year’s competition. The full list of awards can be found here.
Speaking of redesigns, HollywoodChicago.com itself is knee deep in its own relaunch. The completely revamped publication will be unveiled in the next few weeks. Hit the link below for the sneak peak we released on Sept. 30.
