Describe the Organization's Mission:
Part 3 - Line 1
THE MAYSLES DOCUMENTARY CENTER, A NOT FOR PROFIT ORGANIZATION, IS DEDICATED TO THE EXHIBITION AND PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTARY FILMS THAT INSPIRE DIALOGUE AND ACTION. THROUGH OUR CINEMA AND EDUCATION PROGRAMS WE ENGAGE DIVERSE COMMUNITIES IN CREATIVE SELF-EXPRESSION, COMMUNICATING IDEAS AND ADVOCATING NEEDS.
Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
MEDIA IN ACTION-EDUCATION PROGRAMS: WE OFFER DIVERSE, YEAR-ROUND PROGRAMMING FOR YOUTH AND ADULTS IN HARLEM, NORTHERN MANHATTAN, AND SOUTH BRONX COMMUNITIES. OUR GOAL IS TO ENHANCE COMMUNITY STORYTELLING AND CIVIC ENGAGEMENT BY PROVIDING RESIDENTS WITH SPECIALIZED KNOWLEDGE IN DOCUMENTARY FILMMAKING AND THE TECHNICAL TOOLS THEY NEED TO SUCCEED.
THE SCREENING ROOM AT THE MAYSLES DOCUMENTARY CENTER, THE ONLY INDEPENDENT FILM HOUSE NORTH OF LINCOLN CENTER IN MANHATTAN, IS DEDICATED TO THE EXHIBITION OF DOCUMENTARY FILMS, AND IT PROVIDES PROGRAMMING AND FORUM DISCUSSIONS AT LEAST FOUR NIGHTS OUT OF EVERY WEEK. THE CINEMA IS COMMITTED TO A DEMOCRATIC EXPERIENCE, ONE WHERE FILMMAKERS ARE ASKED TO ATTEND THE SCREENINGS OF THEIR WORK, AND AUDIENCES HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ACTIVELY ENGAGE THE FILMS AND EACH OTHER IN POST-SCREENING FORUMS. COUPLED WITH ITS SCHEDULED SERIES, WE ENCOURAGE THE PROGRAMMING PARTICIPATION OF LOCAL SOCIAL AND CULTURAL ORGANIZATIONS AND CITIZEN-ACTIVISTS TO DEEPEN COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT AND PROVIDE EXPOSURE FOR UNDER-REPRESENTED SOCIAL ISSUES AND OVERLOOKED ARTISTS AND THEIR WORK. WE HAVE FORGED PARTNERSHIPS WITH ORGANIZATIONS AS DIVERSE AS THE NATIONAL BLACK PROGRAMMING CONSORTIUM, THE NEW MUSEUM, AND THE HARLEM HISTORIC PARKS ASSOCIATION, TO NAME A FEW. OUR SUGGESTED-DONATION TICKET MODEL ALLOWS FOR EVERYONE TO ENGAGE IN OUR PROGRAMMING, REGARDLESS OF HIS OR HER ABILITY TO PAY. AS A RESULT OF STEADY GROWTH IN ATTENDANCE WE HAVE RECENTLY ADDED CAPACITY TO ACCOMMODATE OUR FREQUENT OVERFLOW AUDIENCES.
OUR FISCAL SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM, WHICH EXTENDS OUR 501(C)(3) NON-PROFIT STATUS TO FILMMAKERS FOR FUNDRAISING PURPOSES, HAS BEEN A GROWING SUCCESS. THE PROGRAM IS DESIGNED FOR EMERGING AND EARLY CAREER FILMMAKERS, AND PRIORITY IS GIVEN TO INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE TRADITIONALLY BEEN DENIED INDUSTRY ACCESS AND FUNDRAISING OPPORTUNITIES.
