For the PD in Your PJs series, we invite you to come as you are, drink what you want, engage with the experts, and leave with 1.0 CPDU credits.
Join the director of the award-winning DePaul/CHA Youth Film programs, Liliane Calfee, for an engaging hour covering filmmaking basics for the classroom. Liliane will review a mini-curriculum including how to engage youth in story building for film, links on how to best shoot with a mobile phone or tablet, and where to get royalty-free stock footage and sound. For the past six years, Liliane has run summer film intensives for youth (ages 15-20) in public housing within DePaul’s School of Cinematic Arts. The short films have won awards at multiple festivals such as the Academy Award qualifying “Reel Sisters of the Diaspora” (NYC) and have screened nationally and internationally, including the 2019 Cannes Film Festival’s Short Film Corner.
This ZOOM meeting is in collaboration with the No Malice Film Contest. The No Malice Film Contest creates a platform for Illinois youth and young adults, ages 11-21, to explore the topic of racial healing using the medium of film. We believe youth and young adults have the capacity and desire to use their words and actions to promote fairness, heal the wounds within their communities, and participate in social change for the benefit of all. The No Malice Film Contest encourages you to take a creative and thoughtful approach to these aspirations through the creation of short films.
The No Malice Film Contest is offered through a partnership between the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, the Roger and Chaz Ebert Foundation, and the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library Foundation and is funded by a grant from Healing Illinois, a racial healing initiative of the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) in partnership with The Chicago Community Trust.
