The Cinema Culture is a grassroots advocacy group that promotes and exhibits the work of new and established filmmakers. The programs are curated by film and video maker Amir George. For the past three years Cinema Culture has curated Seen & Heard Music Video Showcase which highlights music videos from local and national indie music talent. Cinema Culture has recently took refuge in a artist run mansion in Hyde Park (S.H.O.P) for some of their upcoming film programs. TCC seeks to screen work innovative and entertaining for niche and mass audiences.

Filmmakers:

Amir George is a film and video maker, and programmer of the Cinema Culture. Amir created the Cinema Culture with the desire to promote and exhibit work from underground and yet to be known filmmakers as well as his own. Amir’s short films, music video work, and experimental videos have played in film festivals and special programs abroad. His most recent short feature film Mind of Delilah  about a budding collage artist preparing for her first exhibition is currently making its run on the film festival circuit.

Amanda Daniels is a Chicago based / Ohio born filmmaker. Her films Aersol de Amore and Burning Tale of Desire have screened at film festivals throughout the country throughout 2010. Amanda and her sister Stephanie Daniels write, direct, and produce the films.

David Madry is a filmmaker from Germany. He briefly visited Chicago a few years back when The Cinema Culture presented his work in a small showcase. David continues to live and make work in Germany.

Andy Cahill is an animator from Rhode Island. Currently based in New York after completing his MFA at The Art Institute of Chicago. HIs animated short films have screened SXSW and Chicago International Film Festival.

Nelson Carvajal is a Chicago based content creator whose work is healthy mix of appropriated mixed media and experimental video. Carvajal helped launch Cinefile, a niche online networking platform for independent filmmakers. Nelson continues to be an influential figure in the growing DIY film community.

On thefirst Sunday of each month, Cinema Minima, a monthly film series, invites you to explore a menagerie of themes and experiences through film. Aspiring to present an atmosphere to enjoy good films with good  friends (and good drinks), Cinema Minima wants to be your favorite way to end a Sunday!
