Community Arts Access Project

A minimum of 1,400 persons will see 7 high quality films not otherwise screened in rural Minnesota in September 2015 at the Cozy Theatre in Wadena, Minnesota. 100 persons will see 8 short films in September 2015 at Cozy Theatre in Wadena during the festival week. Engage a total of 1,500 Minnesota moviegoers with the very best in film art for one week in September 2015 and 30 film-goers in one of three one-hour seminars to be held during Festival week. Survey a sample of the patrons about their experience of the festival, use results to improve the festival. Share results with 5 Wings. Small group conversations will be convened during festival week to elicit strategies to improve the festival and to talk about the Festival films. We will tally attendance of at least 10 persons at each 3 hour-long film seminars. The festival will provide a written set of notes of the conversation as part of the final report for the festival.
