Twin Cities Film Today

The Twin Cities continues to evolve as a vibrant center of film. The following guide serves an entrance into this community, focusing especially on the independent, historic and art film community.

For students and scholars, you can locate film programs at Minnesotan universities.

For filmmakers, don't forget to look at our basic guide to film making resources (funding, acting, equipment, permissions). The "Film Events" section contains information on annual film festivals and an archive of film conferences. In the "Media Relations" section, links are provided to the film sections of local newspapers and journals.

You can further find you local independent theatres and video stores.

Lucinda Winter has been executive director of the Minnesota Film and TV Board since 2005. Here she discusses the board's role in providing resources for making film production in Minnesota possible.
