“IFP has long been a part of my life giving me the opportunity to follow my passion for black and white photography and a place to interact with other photographers willing to share their knowledge and skills. As the photographer for my community newspaper since 1992, IFP's darkroom has been an invaluable resource for me.” —Dorothy Childers

IFP MN provides very visible opportunities for local filmmakers to screen their projects and for photographers to exhibit their work. From the walls of IFP's Center for Media Arts, to programming on Public Television, to the big screen of local independent theaters, IFP MN works hard to provide its members with a venue for presenting their artistic visions to audiences big and small:

• In addition to the annual IFP MN Members' Photo Show and Silent Auction, our Center for Media Arts provides ongoing member photography exhibition space along its highly visible main corridors.

• With productive relationships among the independent theater owners in the metropolitan area, IFP MN often provides opportunities for filmmakers to view their projects on a big screen at affordable costs before an audience for the first time.

• Our popular monthly short film screening series, Cinema Lounge, takes place at the Bryant-Lake Bowl theater in Minneapolis on the 3rd Wednesday of every month. We screen 5-6 local, indie shorts with the filmmakers there in-person to answer audience questions and give an intimate look at what went in to each film. With no charge for artists to submit a film, and no cover charge for viewers to attend, the Clounge is a cheap evening of cinematic fun in a relaxed, Uptown atmosphere.

• MNTV is an innovative partnership between IFP MN, Twin Cities Public Television, Jerome Foundation, Walker Art Center, and Intermedia Arts, which gives emerging Minnesota filmmakers the opportunity to screen on television and to be compensated for their work.
