Chicago360 is an annual documentary program that showcases the untold and undiscovered aspects of Chicago life. Each year five Chicago filmmakers are brought together to interpret a particular theme and then create a short documentary film based on their interpretations. The result is a feature-length film broken into five individual sections, each section focused on a specific aspect of city life as told through the imagination and style of each filmmaker.

Chicago360 v.4: PLAY
Chicago360 v.4 picks up where v.3 left off, but you know what they say about all work and no play. v.4:PLAY is an amusing glimpse at what some Chicagoans do for fun when they're off the clock. Adult cheerleaders, house music DJs, lovesick nerds, sno bikers and street theatre performers are some of the characters we'll meet in v.4.
