Mission
THE MISSION OF THE FILM SOCIETY OF MINNEAPOLIS ST. PAUL IS TO FOSTER A KNOWLEDGEABLE AND VIBRANT APPRECIATION OF THE ART OF FILM AND ITS POWER TO INFORM AND TRANSFORM INDIVIDUALS AND COMMUNITIES. OUR MISSION IS ACCOMPLISHED THORUGH COMMITMENT TO EXHIBITING THE VERY BEST OF NEW AND CLASSIC LOCAL, DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL INDEPENDENT CINEMA. THESE NOTABLE AWARD-WINNING FILMS REPRESENT MANY PERSPECTIVES AND EXPERIENCES AND ARE, FOR THE MOST PART, SIMPLY NOT OTHERWISE AVAILABLE TO AUDIENCES IN THE REGION. AND SO, THROUGH THE POWER OF GREAT CINEMA, WE EXPOSE OUR AUDIENCES, IN A UNIQUE WAY, TO A RARE MIX OF CULTURES, IDEAS, CURRENT AFFAIRS AND NOTABLE FILMMAKING FROM AROUND THE WORLD. OUR MISSION IS CARRIED OUT THROUGH THE ANNUAL MINNEAPOLIS ST. PAUL INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL, REGULAR SPECIAL THEMED SERIES, AND DAILY SCREENINGS OF NEW RELEASES AND CLASSICS FROM AROUND THE GLOBE.
