The 5th Annual Big Teeth 60-second Film Festival

The 5th Annual Big Teeth 60-second Film Festival happens next weekend at Big Teeth Films & Animation’s 2,000 square-foot studio in Ravenswood. One of the Chicago creative community’s most beloved traditions, this year’s run promises to deliver all the thrills and brevity of its predecessors

The fest will feature a dozen “brand new, completely original short films” by employees, freelancers, and industry friends screening every twenty minutes from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on September 14 and September 15.

Complete with free craft beer, delicious popcorn, and the nearby Ravenswood Art Walk, the program is “the best way to spend 15 minutes this year,” according to the hosts.
