Celebrate our 10th Birthday with us! See the 10 best films from the past 10 years of the One Earth Young Filmmakers Contest. Choose to attend in person at the Gene Siskel Film Center, 164 N. State St., in Chicago, or stream online simultaneously on Sunday, Sept. 18, at 11:30 a.m. CDT (for those attending in person, there will be free popcorn and hot chocolate or coffee).

Since 2013, the One Earth Young Filmmakers Contest has awarded over 100 prizes to short environmental films from youth age 25 down to 3rd grade. A jury of 9 environmental and film professionals selected the final, top films from students across the country. Each film is 2 to 8 minutes long and ranges from animation to live action. Meet these young filmmakers in person or online, hear where they are today, and see their extraordinary films.
