Show Your Work

IFP MN provides very visible opportunities for local filmmakers to screen their projects and for photographers to exhibit their work. IFP MN works hard to provide its members with a venue for presenting their artistic visions to audiences big and small:

• Photography curator Vance Gellert presents six Photography Exhibits per year in our Center for Media Arts, in addition to the annual IFP MN Members' Photo Show and Silent Auction.  

• Our popular monthly short film screening series, Cinema Lounge, takes place at the Bryant-Lake Bowl theater in Minneapolis on the 3rd Wednesday of every month. We screen 5-6 local, indie shorts with the filmmakers there in-person to answer audience questions and give an intimate look at what went in to each film. With no charge for artists to submit a film, and no cover charge for viewers to attend, the Clounge is a cheap evening of cinematic fun in a relaxed, Uptown atmosphere.

• MNTV is an innovative partnership between IFP MN, Twin Cities Public Television, Jerome Foundation, Walker Art Center, and Intermedia Arts, which gives emerging Minnesota filmmakers the opportunity to screen on television and to be compensated for their work.
