Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Arts & Culture, Arts Services, Film & Video, Performing Arts
Mission: Film Arts Foundation was founded in 1976 to support and encourage independent filmmakers who have chosen to work outside of the commercial film and television industry, and who bring to the media the personal and community perspectives that are the cornerstone of a participatory democracy. Documentaries coming out of the Film Arts Foundation, such as Complaints of a Dutiful Daughter by Deborah Hoffmann, and more recently, Barbara Sonneborn s Regret to Inform and Deann Borshay Liem's First Person Plural, have become tools for civic dialogue and agents for social change.
Programs: Film Arts primary constituency is Northern California's large, diverse, talented and iconoclastic independent filmmaking community, known internationally for social issue media that crosses the genres of documentary, narrative and experimental work. Within this community, we are particularly interested in supporting those filmmakers who may not receive support elsewhere: people of color, people from low-income communities, people who are gay and lesbian, and other artists from communities or ideologies that have been traditionally underrepresented in media. Film Arts full range of services: access to low-cost equipment, seminars and workshops, monthly magazine, exhibition program and annual festival, grants and fiscal sponsorship program, mentorship and resource center allows Film Arts to serve as both an incubator of first and second time film and video makers as well as a primary support organization for experienced, award-winning media artists.
