In an era dominated by streaming, the 62nd Chicago International Film Festival champions the irreplaceable power of communal moviegoing with “Cinema in Real Life.” Shot by acclaimed photographer Sandro Miller, the campaign turns the camera away from the screen to capture the raw, unfiltered emotions rippling across faces in the theater. Brought to life with a trailer voiced by Oscar winner Dame Helen Mirren, the initiative serves as an urgent invitation to experience stories the way they were meant to be felt: together, in real time.
