Hi All,
This is primarily for those of you in or near Chicago (Milwaukee, Iowa City,
etc), as participants are expected to attend.
I want to let you know about the One-Minute Film Festival, which will be at
the Art Institute of Chicago on Friday, August 13. Details from the AIC are
below. Since event host Jason Simon is not local, I have been recruited to
help publicize and promote the screening (read: to get people to submit!).
Anyone and everyone is able to submit work, whether you are a video maker or
not.
Please consider participating in this unique event there will likely be an
eclectic and diverse range of works showing, from active film/video/new
media artists to people who¹ve never touched a camera before.
Also, please forward this widely to your local email lists, social
networking contacts, friends, students, etc. Anyone can participate, so it
does not matter if they are not a film/video maker.
Best,
Patrick Friel

Davey (Canadian, born 1958), is a filmmaker who for eight years running has
hosted an annual festival. Anyone may submit their film for Simon's
festivals as long as it follows one simple rule: the film can be no longer

films in a decidedly party atmosphere. Staged until now in a barn in
Narrowsburg, New York, this will be the first traveling presentation of the
festival. The festival will end in 2012 after ten years, at which point
MassMoCA will launch a traveling exhibition of the project¹s ³greatest
hits.²
Entry rules: Each film must be no more than 60 seconds in length, in
Quicktime format, and on a DVD. Advance registration will be accepted August
113 and is recommended, as films brought on the night of the event may not
get into the program. All advance submissions must be postmarked on or after
August 1 and must be received at the Art Institute by 12:00 p.m. on August
13.
