FESTIVAL NEWS
MTM 11 News and Updates!
Our eleventh annual collection celebrates twelve jury selected shorts, each under twelve minutes, tackling a broad range of social issues with humor, humanity, and honesty.
Covering a vast array of topics from religious tolerance, Autism awareness, biased-based bullying and much more, this year’s collection will have its debut in New York City on October 27, 2011 at SVA Theatre on West 23rd Street. Following the New York premiere the collection will be available online, and distributed via DVD and screened at events all over the country.
Arts Engine will also present two days of panels and workshops in New York City at the School of Visual Arts MFA Social Documentary Film campus on Friday, October 28 & Saturday, October 29. The events are geared towards filmmakers, activists and educators and will be free and open to the public.
Friday’s events will focus on grassroots fundraising, fair use, as well as tips and tools for educators to incorporate media into the classroom.
On Saturday we are pleased to present Women and Girls Matter, a new Media That Matters™ initiative dedicated towards the empowerment of women and girls. The day will focus on obstacles and opportunities for women and girls in filmmaking and new media, highlight the values they bring their work, and open up a dialogue for ways to create new spaces for female voices in the field.
Each week leading up to the premiere we’ll be releasing information on the 11th Media That Matters™.
