AANM Short Film Contest

In conjunction with its annual Arab Film Festival, the Arab American National Museum is introducing a new short film competition for young adults ages 18-30 featuring cash prizes of $1,500, $750 and $500. The three winning films will be screened as part of the 6th annual Arab Film Festival December 2-5, 2010 at the AANM.

The AANM is encouraging young adults to submit films no more than 30 minutes in length, in any genre, relating to a fusion of two concepts it is calling Trans-Ubuntu. Trans indicates movement across, through and beyond any person, place, thing or idea, while Ubuntu is an African philosophy and concept that loosely means a person is a person through other people. In Ubuntu, individuals are seen through the relationships of larger communities, through their humanity toward others. In a globalized world, what are the images, narratives, ideas, sounds, and feelings of Trans-Ubuntu? The AANM encourages filmmakers to interpret Trans-Ubuntu through the films they submit.

Deadline for consideration is 5 p.m. Friday, October 15, 2010. Winners will be announced Monday, November 1, 2010 at www.arabamericanmuseum.org and via press release.
