WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?
By becoming a Reeling Member, you will be contributing to a vibrant local not-for-profit, and the second oldest LGBT film festival in the world. Reeling memberships help to ensure that we have the resources to bring the best films in the world to the city of Chicago, and encourages Reeling to grow from an annual event to a year-round program of screenings and special events.
Whether you're an Indie Spirit Member or a Studio Head, you will enjoy great benefits as a Reeling member, including advanced ticket purchases, ticket discounts, invitations to members only screenings, and priority seating.
Early this year, our Reeling members were invited to attend the Special "Invitation Only" screening of the new film "Caramel." In February, all Reeling Members were invited to attend the special advanced screening of the Academy Award-nominated Best Foreign Language Film, "The Counterfeiters," with director Stefan Ruzowitzky and lead actor Karl Markovics in attendance for questions.
