Film Arts Foundation
What is Film Arts Foundation?
Film Arts Foundation (Film Arts) is a non-profit leader in the media arts field, providing comprehensive training, equipment, information, consultations, and exhibition opportunities to independent filmmakers. Now in its thirtieth year, Film Arts has close to 3,000 members working in film, video, and multimedia, and is the largest regional organization of independent producers in the country.
Film Arts services take the filmmaker from the first step (education) to the final one (distribution) and cover everything they will need to know in between.
Services include:
• education and training
• low-cost equipment access
• exhibition opportunities
• fiscal sponsorship
• project funding
• consultation and
• information resources
Film Arts Foundation's programs have become models for other organizations around the country.
Film Arts Foundation's achievements have garnered the admiration and respect of a national audience: the Museum of Modern Art in New York presented a month-long tribute to Film Arts, the MacArthur Foundation has recognized Film Arts as one of seven media arts centers in the country of "national significance," the New York-based Association of Independent Video and Filmmakers has given Film Arts the "Indie Award" for outstanding media arts center, festivals throughout the world praise the organization, and Film Arts Foundation has even been thanked in an Academy Award acceptance speech. Film Arts members have either won or been nominated for over thirty Academy Awards over the past three decades.
