Minnesota Film Arts Minnesota Film Arts’ is a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering an active and living appreciation of the film arts in the Twin Cities and greater Minnesota. We pursue our mission through numerous programs in the areas of presentation, production, and advocacy.

BRINGING MOVIES TO MINNESOTA FOR 46 YEARS

MFA pursues its mission in two program areas:
Presentation:	MFA is dedicated to presenting the best of new and historical independent and international cinema to the Twin Cities and greater Minnesota audiences. We pursue this mission through year-round programming at St. Anthony Main Theatre, as well as through our annual Minneapolis/St. Paul International Film Festival. Our purpose is to embrace and illuminate the past, present, and future of the moving image for audiences and artists residing in the Twin Cities and beyond.
Advocacy:	As the largest dedicated film-arts organization in the Twin Cities, MFA takes seriously its leadership duty within the broader civic community. Thus, we see advocacy among diverse civic bodies as central to our mission. This advocacy translates to access projects at St. Anthony Main Theatre; partnerships with emerging festivals and presentations. Our purpose is to ensure film’s legitimacy as a sustainable community-based art form in the Twin Cities.
