Career Sustainability Panel: Filmmakers Who Teach – presented by the Chicago Film Office
The Chicago Film Office, Seed&Spark and the Illinois Film Office present a panel discussion with "filmmakers who teach" about creating and sustaining a film career. They will discuss how their career journeys challenge the typical narrative of "making it in the business" and offer alternative narratives to what are typically taught as ideal roles to aspire to (i.e. working in Hollywood). Professional development panels often discuss the craft of filmmaking. We will instead discuss what it looks like; and what it takes to actually create a sustainable career in film; one that is both financially and creatively sustaining. Ultimately, there is more than one way to creating and sustaining a "film career" and the path will look different for everyone.

Chicago Monuments Project
Monuments and memorials have become a focal point for conversation, protest and activism in the city of Chicago. In response, the City has created a committee to review the city’s collection of monuments and recommend solutions. The Chicago Monuments Project intends to grapple with the often unacknowledged – or forgotten – history associated with the City’s various municipal art collections and provides a vehicle to address the hard truths of Chicago’s racial history, confront the ways in which that history has and has not been memorialized and develop a framework for marking public space that elevates new ways to memorialize Chicago’s true and complete history. To learn more and share your thoughts, please visit www.ChicagoMonuments.org – and join the conversation on social media using #ChicagoMonuments.
