November 5 - 9: Arts Engine in Jerusalem with b(art) and Al-Quds University
Arts Engine and the Media That Matters Film Festival Director of Festival and Outreach Maia Ermita will be joining a global collective of filmmakers and festival programmers in conjunction with the b(art) organization to examine the place of independent film in entertainment, advocacy, and social change throughout a series of screenings at Jerusalem Cinematheque.
The visit will conclude with a day-long symposium with students from The Honors College at Al-Quds Univeristy—a liberal arts program developed in collaboration with Bard College that offers the region’s first four-year, American-Palestinian dual-degree undergraduate program—focusing on developing tools for media education in the classroom.

b(art) invites film fans and artists to join together for a celebration of purposeful filmmaking and to explore the role of independent film as an agent of discovery and change.

Documentary and drama, short and feature-length, film is a leading vehicle for providing new and challenging perspectives.
“Independent Film” is a term often used, but increasingly difficult to define. What is the set of values and practical realities that lie behind an assertion of independence? Can one be fully “independent” and still have an impact?
Over the course of three days, b(art) will examine the place of independent film in entertainment, advocacy, and social change with intimate film screenings, a photographic exhibition, gallery talks, and an interactive panel discussion with accomplished filmmakers and industry professionals.
Please join us for this behind-the-scenes look into independent film.

George Eldred - Program Director, Aspen Film
