ChiDM is proud to present a selection of films from the Chicago Film Archives for a special screening night. As an extension of our first exhibition, Starts/Speculations, each of the chosen films represents an area for future exploration, and another avenue for examining the role of design within our city and our lives.

Please join us at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, September 24, as we learn about the early years of the International Design Conference, consider design for medical safety, witness the translation of moving image to a printed page, and remember the sights and sounds of Chicago in the seventies.

The evening will include work by Gary Brown, the Film Group, Goldsholl Design & Film Associates and Rhodes Patterson.

The event is free to all our members and students and $10 at the door for non-members. There will be an open bar for those 21 years old and over (IDs will be checked at the door).

See Typeface, and support the Hamilton Wood Type & Printing Museum. The Hamilton Wood Type & Printing Museum is being evicted, and is attempting to raise $250,000 to move 30,000 square feet of printing history to a new home. Join the STA and ChiDM on January 15th at 7:30pm for a screening of Typeface, a film that focuses on the historical and contemporary cultural significance of the museum. We will also be hosting a raffle of items related to the film. All proceeds from this event will benefit Hamilton directly.
