[Judy Ossello]

CHICAGO INTERNATIONAL DOCUMENTARY FESTIVAL (CIDF) is a premier festival
of documentary films in the U.S. The thought-provoking 11-day film event
established in 2003 is dedicated to the celebration and cultivation of
the documentary film. Our eclectic programming is designed to extend
appreciation of the art of documentary film and its unique power to
inspire and communicate a world of ideas and cultures. Each edition
presents an array of extraordinary programs, showcasing the work of
brilliant filmmakers and providing a venue for established and emerging
artists of film as well as doc film buffs to see the most interesting
international picks. Over $ 20,000 in unrestricted cash plus other
prizes are awarded by the jury. 

The festival's 2004 edition takes place April 1-11, 2004 in five venues
in Chicago. Please check the schedule below for more information.
