A Century of Progress International Exposition was the name of a World's Fair held in Chicago, Illinois from 1933–1934 to celebrate Chicago's centennial. The theme of the fair was technological innovation.  Its motto was "Science Finds, Industry Applies, Man Conforms" and its architectural symbol was the Sky Ride, a transporter bridge perpendicular to the shore on which one could ride from one end of the fair to the other.

Not much footage exists of the 1933 Chicago Fair.  Unfortunately, unlike the New York Fair, the Chicago fair was not quite as popular and somehow missed being documented as well as the New York Fairs.  These rare films are a few of the rarest films known to have been taken and distributed of the Chicago Fair.  Enjoy them while they last.
Century of Progress Exposition-Wings of a Century (1933)

This was a general view of the Chicago 1933 Exposition. I felt like it was going back in time. Enjoyable for those who like to view other eras in America.  Professional footage of the events at the 1933 fair.

Chicago World's Fair (ca. 1933-34)

Amateur footage of a family spending the day at the fair.  See a variety of footage of some interesting exhibits, such as the hall of science, "The Maestro", Byrd's ship, and many others.  Interesting and unique footage.
