The Muslim Film Festival harnesses cinema to explore Muslim affairs beyond the headlines for audiences of all backgrounds. Pressing social and civic issues – including terrorism, women’s rights, censorship, political repression, and multiculturalism – come into focus through screenings, panel discussions, and artistic performances. Held every spring and fall, the festival also provides a forum to advance public understanding of Muslim American cultural identity.

Mosaic LA Film Fest

cage_editor — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 19:42:28 +0000

It is a thousand short films back-to-back that illuminate our victories, tragedies, and revelations. Each life intersects others until it becomes apparent that the whole of a person is not an abandoned room full of reels, but an epic. That’s why the creative minds at Mosaic and Awaken are bringing you the Mosaic LA Film Fest (MOLAFF) where we are challenging visionaries with Soul Cravings: An Exploration of the Human Spirit, a theme that encourages artists to bring the broken things of the world to the cutting room floor and explore what remains: the raw, often-hidden beauty of the human story. Our vision sprang from the need for truthful filmmaking and personal expression that is at once wildly imaginative and unflinchingly introspective. We want work that skims the surface but plunges unexpectedly into a story that speaks to the heart. We want to hear what an epiphany sounds like to a character who has never heard a word. We want to see the future in the flash of a child’s eyes. We want to see what the hand shooting heroine would look like administering a vaccine. Cash Prizes!

Heartland Film Festival

In 1991, a group of visionaries united to create a unique film festival to honor beautifully made films that celebrate the positive aspects of life called the Heartland Film Festival. The Heartland Film Festival started in 1992 as a small event in Indianapolis and has expanded over time to become one of the fastest growing film festivals in the country. Today, the annual film festival is a ten-day event full of independent films, a variety of special events for film enthusiasts of all ages, and a one-of-a-kind experience in one of the Midwest’s most inviting cities.
