Overview:
Arts Engine’s Media That Matters Film Festival is the premiere showcase for short films with big messages.
Mission:
"We no longer have to rely on major corporations for things to be seen -- we have Media that Matters to distribute new material and new voices and new points of view."
-Tim Robbins, Actor
The Media That Matters Film Festival is the premiere showcase for short films on the most important topics of the day. Local and global, online and in communities around the world, Media That Matters engages diverse audiences and inspires them to take action.
From gay rights to global warming, the jury-selected collection represents the work of a diverse group of independent filmmakers, many of whom are under 21. The films are equally diverse in style and content, with documentaries, music videos, animations, experimental work and everything else in between. What all the films have in common is that they spark debate and action in 12 minutes or less.
You can visit our site to view films of past festivals, find ways to take action, and participate in dialogues on the social issues that interest you most.
An image captures a feeling,
A story shares a message,
A movie becomes a movement.
