Distinguished filmmakers will lead workshops and community seminars that connect their films and filmmaking to social, creative, or cultural issues in Baltimore. Participants will explore impacts of film and media; to learn emerging practices in filmmaking; and to build local and national professional networks. This project is presented in partnership with Johns Hopkins University, Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), Maryland Film Festival/Stavros Niarchos Foundation Parkway Theatre, Baltimore Office of Promotion & The Arts, and the Saul Zaentz Innovation Fund.
