The team at Chicago Feedback Film Festival were so welcoming – it’s well run with excellent communication. To receive such positive feedback from a neutral audience was encouraging and held real value. Delighted to have won Best Thriller. Thank you Chicago!
The festival was great and we received a lot of good feedback. We were happily surprised to see that they also gave out recognition awards. We will submit to this again.
Very good festival with feedback that showed some understanding of the project.
This festival is absolutely amazing. I love, love, love them. I hope all of my films can get in. I’m so happy that my short, Rock Island Prison 1864 was selected. They treat filmmakers extremely well, they are caring, they are helpful, and they really want to promote films made by their selected filmmakers. Thank you!

Churches Rise On My Skeleton, 3min,. USA
Directed by Gina Furnan
“Churches Rise On My Skeleton” is the lead single and first short film connected to Eric Terino’s conceptual live album “Indelible Sundries”. The track, which sets an autumnal mood to introduce the project, is a meditation on the shared experience of bereavement that Terino describes as “a desperate plea for understanding, addressed from one ghost to another.”

KHENTOPIA, 72min., USA
Directed by Job Michiel van Zuijlen
Khentopia is a peaceful society on the planet Zeeray, where ethereal energy generated through chanting at Harmony Center is used to feed a protective shield that envelops the planet. All is well, until one June morning in 2502, the crew of raider ship Space Wolf is intent on breaking through the shield to carry out a pillage mission. They succeed in obliterating the ethereal power generation and so the protective shield. On top of that, a parallel universe emerges with an alternate Khentopia that is harsh and hostile.
