    MISSION STATEMENT

    To bring the art of film to “Mid America” (Indiana and bordering states) by expanding awareness of and interest in the social and cultural impact of independent filmmaking.

    This will be achieved by providing educational, creative and financial assistance to residents of Mid America who recognize non-commercial film as an important art form through which ideas are expressed, and by awarding grants and providing fiscal sponsorship for film projects that would not otherwise be possible.

Screenings

Two to three time per year, MAF has screenings of regionally made short films at the Vickers Theatre in Three Oaks, Michigan and the Eck Center at the University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, Indiana, and also helps sponsor the Indiana University South Bend Independent Video & Filmmakers Festival.

After each screening, there is Q & A with the filmmakers. Next the MAF Screenwriters Group presents a staged reading of short scripts that are based upon a certain theme and written in different genres such as horror, humor, and romantic comedy. The audience votes for their favorite script and engages in a Q&A. This entertaining evening often concludes with a wine & cheese reception. Eliezer Eli chairs the MAF Screening Committee and can be contacted at eliezer50@sbcglobal.net.

OUR NEXT SCREENING IS ON FEB. 8: 

MAF will be screening local and regionally produced short films on Friday, February 8, 2008 at 7:00 p.m. in The Eck Visitors Center, located on Notre Dame Avenue on the Notre Dame campus. It is a great opportunity to see films created in the area and meet some of the filmmakers during the Q&A afterwards. For more information about the campus and directions visit www.nd.edu. Admission is free.
