Now in its second year, The 2010 Talking Pictures Festival draws audience members from the northern Chicago metro-area to this annual celebration of independent film from around the world. True to its name, screenings at The Talking Pictures Festival are often accompanied by discussions with filmmakers, guest speakers or community groups.

The inaugural 2009 Talking Pictures Festival received much press coverage and attracted 1,100 filmgoers over the course of a long weekend. Check out the 2009 fest schedule and award-winners on the fest website: www.talkingpicturesfestival.org

The Talking Pictures Festival is produced by Percolator Films, a non-profit film organization that also organizes the popular ten-year-old Reeltime film and discussion series.
