MTM: IMPACT
Make. Activate. Educate.
June 3, 2010
11:00 a.m. - 4:15 p.m.
Ten years of Media That Matters. Time to celebrate. Ready to innovate.
On June 3, the day after the NYC premiere of the tenth annual Media That Matters collection, Arts Engine will host a free, day-long series of conversations for
filmmakers, activists and educators who are working to harness the
power of media to enact change.
Join Arts Engine staff, Pat Aufderheide, Abigail Disney, MTM filmmakers past and present and many more for an
exciting day of provocative
conversation and practical strategies for impact.
This won't be a re-hashing of the same old tips (set up a Twitter
account!) and laments (documentary distribution is in crisis!).
Instead, we'll take up targeted questions about the state of social issue media like:
What are the advantages and drawbacks of short films vs. long format
media in spurring audiences to action? What does it mean to be a
fast-acting filmmaker when it comes to social change media? Do you
sacrifice craft to effect change quickly? And how do you inspire
students to connect media to their own lives and realize their potential
as changemakers?
The day will be organized into three interactive 75-minute sessions. You can sign
up for one or for all three. Since this event is designed to
be a series of intimate conversations, space isextremely limited. While we are able to offer
these conversations at no cost to participants, youmust register in advance. You
can register and find detailed descriptions of the sessions and
panelists here.
We hope to see you there!
This event is made possible by the Fledgling Fund.
