The Media Film Festival starts next week (Feb 23-25), and in conjunction with the Festival, M.A.C. is hosting educational workshops for the public.  You don't have to be an experienced filmmaker, but you can be.  Taught by accomplished filmmakers, these workshops will enlighten participants of all levels. Get your tickets right away to reserve your spot as space is limited. Workshops take place at the Media Community Center.
 
Here's what you can learn:
 

M.A.C. is very excited to announce the 5th Annual Media Film Festival, Feb. 23rd-25th at the Media Community Center. Tickets are now available for three exciting nights of original film, selected from numerous submissions from local, national and international filmmakers.  Due to our overwhelming response last year,  we encourage you to get your tickets early. Each night's event will be held 7:00-10:30pm, with a special Horror Festival on Friday night after the main showing.

This has been an amazing year for the arts in Media. Many people have come together with time, ideas, energy and funding to support the Media Arts Council as we bring the arts to the community.

The Main Event at this month's 2nd Saturday Arts Stroll will be award-winning theramin player, Kip Rosser, perfoming at the Delaware County Insitute of Science, December 10th at 7pm. Rosser will fascinate audiences with his mastery of this intriguing instrument combined with his theatrical and educational skills.
 

The Media Film Festival is gearing up with films arriving everyday. Volunteers are reviewing them to select films that will be featured.
 
Each year we receive more than twice as many films as we show. This year the ratio will be higher because we are advertising the festival on "Withoutabox", an online submission system. This is a big step as it means there will be many more films to review. The late submission deadline is January 2, 2012.
 
Films may be submitted in the following categories and lengths:

Through the M.A.C. Holiday Campaign you can support the arts in Media for the coming year, while also getting unique M.A.C. gifts to give to a special person (or keep for yourself.) M.A.C. Tote Bags and Mug Sets feature full-color artwork of local artists.  Handmade scultural tiles are also available. Some gifts are accompanied by tickets to the popular Media Film Festival.
