Want a great way to hone your filmmaking skills, develop your craft, and explore your existential angst all at the same time? Our friends at the 46th Chicago International Film Festival invite you to explore The Human Condition through film!

Filmmakers of all ages and experience levels are invited to conceive, design, and produce an original 60-second film that examines who and what we are. This unique competition will be judged by an international jury of industry professionals, film critics, and civic leaders.

A program of finalist entries will be screened during the 46th Chicago International Film Festival and online, and the top three films will receive prizes, including $1,000 cash.

Submissions must be postmarked by August 25, 2010. For details on how to submit your film, visit www.ChicagoFilmFestival.com/TheHumanCondition.
