Oak Park IL Film Festival Opening Night

OPLIFF website

The Oak Park IL Film Festival is an annual celebration of cinema, bringing together filmmakers, audiences, and the Oak Park community to showcase films with a unique Oak Park connection—whether through content, cast, crew, or setting.

The festival kicks off Thursday evening with a gala event at the Lake Theatre, featuring a Hollywood film with a connection to Oak Park, IL. This year's opening night includes a special screening of "Moonstruck," and a tribute to the late John Mahoney, a longtime Oak Park resident.

The festival continues Saturday and Sunday at the Madison Street Theater, a local stage theater transformed into a cinema venue.
