Fox Valley Film Society

We just need 60 people.

At AIFF, we believe that movies can transform how we see the world, and those movies should be accessible to everyone, whether you live in New York City or the Fox Valley. That’s why we're asking for your help to reach our fundraising goal. With your donation, we can ensure that our audience has access to the very best that indie cinema has to offer. We just need 60 people to donate at the $75 level to hit our modest fundraising goal of $4,500.

Please consider supporting the AIFF today so we can continue bringing the very best films to our region.

The 2025 AfterImage Film Festival will take place April 10-13 at the Charlestowne 18 Cinema in St. Charles, IL. Badges will be available for pick-up anytime throughout the festival at our information table inside the theater.

*The All-Access Pass is good for a single entry to all regular festival screenings. It does not include access to the Opening Night Party and screening.

You can make a difference by donating today to Fox Valley Film Society NFP hosting the AfterImage Film Festival April 13-16, 2023!
