Chicago Film Critics Association Members (2012-13) PDF Print E-mail

Membership in the Chicago Film Critics Association is restricted to professional (paid) film critics recognized by producers or editors of commercial media outlets as their official critical voice or staff authority on the cinematic arts. To join, a critic must provide a letter written on company stationery and signed by a producer or editor attesting to the paid employment and official status of the critic. We also need samples of published or broadcast work or websites. Reviews should be full-length works in their respective media: interviews, gossip columns and capsule comments are not acceptable as critiques. Current annual dues are $50. Candidates must serve a minimum of six months in their current positions to quality for membership, and must reside within the Chicago area, defined as Cook County, the collar counties and part of Northwest Indiana.
