Minnesota, on Film
Film is a powerful storytelling medium that can educate,
facilitate social change, create empathy, and explore new
perspectives. MHC was honored to partner and issue grants
to filmmakers and organizations to make films that tell us
about our history and the stories of the people and
communities that call Minnesota home.
New Works! Lab
A new program from the APIA MN Film Collective
called New Works! Lab featured a season of films
created, produced, directed, and starring Asian
American filmmaking artists from Minnesota.
These films were shown throughout Minnesota in
conjunction with screenplay writing workshops.
Images of Africa
MSP Film created the “Images of Africa”
program to shine a spotlight on the larger
African experience, storytelling, and
contributions from a range of artists and
filmmakers from African communities.
