For those not counting, 2010 is the 10th Anniversary of the Chicago Anarchist Film Festival (CAFF). As we have for ten years, CAFF invites anarchists, anti-authoritarians, the anarcho-friendly and the anarcho-curious to experience radical cinema from around the world with features, shorts, documentaries, animation, and found footage.

Anarchist films cross boundaries, take risks, and subvert passivity. With
this year’s theme, Crossing Boundaries, CAFF seeks to project voices that
transcend borders and cultures — voices that normally do not get heard.
That said, viewers will also find humor, silliness and fun in the
offerings.
In keeping with the Crossing Boundaries theme, we are also aiming to be
more than film! With several More Than Film presentations/workshops, the
curatorial team is re-imagining the film fest as more than "seats facing a
screen"— we also seek to engage the audience in dialogue with filmmakers
and activists.
In honor of our decade of existence, we will also be featuring
Circle-A-Archives selections from throughout the festival’s history that
showcase not only our favorites, but also important moments in politics
and culture.
Celebrate with us, as the 10th Annual Chicago Anarchist Film Festival
commemorates its decennial anniversary of insurrectionary cinema with six
nights of films and much more! This year's festival is twice as big with
more to think about! Happy Birthday CAFF!
