FACETS

Founded by Milos Stehlik in 1975, FACETS is a nonprofit that connects people to independent ideas through transformative film experiences. FACETS is dedicated to creating platforms for thought-provoking films, important conversations, and community-driven education. A landmark destination for generations of cinephiles, FACETS inspires audiences to actively engage with film, not simply as entertainment, but as a tool to bridge cultural divides, promote digital literacy skills, and expand perspectives through empathy-driven storytelling. FACETS presents the Chicago International Children's Film Festival, one of only two Oscar-qualifying children's film festival in the world.
