Join us for an evening celebrating fearless creativity and artistic collaboration!
Group 312 Films — a not-for-profit artists’ collective of digital video directors — proudly presents The 2025 Annual Report, featuring a curated selection of 15 short films by six different filmmakers. Each of these shorts was inspired by monthly themes chosen collectively, interpreted freely by each director, and brought to life through a variety of genres, from narrative and poetic works to experimental music videos and beyond.
This year’s program continues our vibrant tradition at Chicago Filmmakers, showcasing the best of our members’ diverse voices. Expect films that are experimental, scary, intimate, whimsical, and provocative — a true testament to the spirit of exploration that drives Group 312 Films.
Our members represent a wide spectrum of skill levels and backgrounds, including professional directors, artists, musicians, and newcomers to video art — united by a passion for learning, sharing, and motivating each other.
Come celebrate a year of bold experimentation and creative growth — we hope these films will both entertain and inspire you.
