Chicago Movie Tours is a dynamic, new small business based just outside Chicago's city limits. We offers exclusive, expert-led walking tours, lectures, and immersive experiences related to Chicago and cinema. We are film-centered, wide-reaching, tuned in, and expert-led.FILM-CENTEREDWe were created in 2019 in order to share our knowledge of classic and contemporary film (and television) with visitors to and residents of Chicagoland. We are also independently operated, woman-owned, and fully insured.WIDE-REACHINGThrough our tours and talks, we are committed to exploring the city of Chicago and its surrounding suburbs. After all, both regions offer unique features and histories, especially regarding movies. Because of this, our tours may take place downtown in "the Loop" or out in Joliet. Likewise, our talks may occur in Evanston or Homer Glen.TUNED INSince humans spend nearly half their day interacting with media, we believe that studying film, TV, and other media forms is crucial to our understanding of their effects on our lives. Mass media shape virtually everything we learn. Mass media determine what we talk and care about. Mass media study us, so why shouldn't we study them?EXPERT-LEDBefore starting this business, our founder, Kelli, worked as a professor of film and media studies. She has taught 20+ courses on film, TV, and digital media and has extensive experience speaking, researching, and publishing in those fields.Now, Kelli takes her expertise and love of teaching beyond the traditional classroom and into real-world settings.
