Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Minnesotans will have meaningful arts experiences by attending Frozen River Film Festival's multimedia, integrated art presentations and programs. Evaluation will be through participant surveys, board surveys, artist feedback, event Q and A's with visiting filmmakers, its People's Choice award, social media interactions, and observation.

Measurable Outcome(s)

During this film festival, attendees were moved by the issues and stories presented in documentaries and the live interactions with the attending artists. To measure community enrichment through documentary film art experiences, FRFF evaluated through video interviews; listening sessions with focus groups; social media interactions; observations; attendee surveys; and a survey of fest venues.
