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.
MAF Salons/meetings are held on the
first Tuesday of each month in the Cellar Door restaurant at the Ramada Plaza at 213 W. WASHINGTON STREET, SOUTH BEND, IN 46601 at 7:00 PM. Everyone is
welcome!
