July 10: San Francisco Premiere of the Eighth Annual Media That Matters Film Festival at BAVC, San Francisco, CA: 6:00PM - 8:00PM
The Eighth Annual Media That Matters Film Festival will be screened for free at the Bay Area Video Coalition on Thursday July 10th from 6pm to 8pm.
Media That Matters staff and possibly some filmmakers from past festivals will be in attendance to discuss the Festival and the films in this year's collection.
BAVC was found in 1976 by a group of activists and media makers who hoped to find civic-minded, alternative ways to utilize new technology. BAVC believes that the communication of compelling stories through media is an important process for both the media maker and the audience. Therefore, it strives to provide underserved communities with media instruments, so that they may more fully participate in cultural and economic discussions. Throughout the years, BAVC's programs have united artists, educators, low-income citizens, non-profit organizations, and media professionals in the pursuit of its admirable mission.
BAVC had been a long-time partner of Arts Engine and the Media That Matters Film Festivals. In fact, the award-winning Seventh Annual Media That Matters Film Festival documentary short, The Apollos was made by two of BAVC's students.
BAVC is located on the corner of Mariposa and Bryant streets in the Mission/Potrero district in San Francisco.
