Mofest is the annual film, media and arts festival that celebrates the local film, post, print and media production and creative communities. The hundreds of people who attend and support Mofest include crew, producers, agency folk, creative execs, vendors, actors, models, students, spouses, lovers, friends, family, and just about anyone looking to support Chicago’s local creativity. At Mofest we share, celebrate and showcase our films, photography, artwork and creativity to help motivate, encourage and educate this city’s emerging talent. Mofest’s mission is to help promote creative individuals in the Chicago film and arts market by featuring their works. Mofest’s continuous goal is to make this city a flourishing creative market revered by the rest of the world. We need this city to become a more dominant player by fostering creative growth locally rather than shipping it in from the coasts.

Mofest 6 includes 2 FULL DAYS of film, music, creative displays, arts gallery and photo exhibits. And for far less then what you’d pay for a typical night out, you get all of the following entertainment with just ONE ticket to MoFest:

• Not one, but TWO NIGHTS OF FILM – short movies filled with action, drama, comedy, and suspense, thought-provoking docs, mind-blowing experimental, and music videos from a variety of genres - ALL created by emerging talent within our city…

• Not one, but TWO PARTY SPACES inside the historic front lobbies and at the main stage…
