The No Malice Film Contest invites filmmakers, from ages 11 to 21, to make short films that deal with racial healing.Throughout the duration of the contest, the emerging filmmakers will be able to attend a lecture series via Zoom with professional filmmakers. Troy Osborne Pryor, American producer, host, and actor, encourages young people to “Create, Don’t Wait.”

The Roger and Chaz Ebert Foundation is hosting the contest and lecture series in partnership with the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library Foundation, which received a grant from Healing Illinois, a racial healing initiative of the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS), in partnership with The Chicago Community Trust.
