Our mission is to showcase the best films from our future Directors, Writers, and Actors so they can inspire audiences to explore new stories and new perspectives.
Founded in 2025, IL Film Fest is poised to become one of the premier film festivals in the country, attracting filmmakers and cinema enthusiasts alike.
Our festival takes place in the iconic Wilmette theatre in the National Historic Landmarked downtown of Wilmette, IL. Established in 1913, the theater is the perfect location for artists and audiences.
