Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation
On Screen in Person Film Tour
Allentown Symphony Association recently received a Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation grant award to host the new On Screen In Person film program. On Screen In Person is made possible through funding from the National Endowment for the Arts’ Regional Touring Program.
Motion pictures have long captivated the American Public. Film has become as associated with the United States as its indigenous art forms of jazz and modern dance. The art of film continues to attract some of the country’s most creative artists and produce some of its most compelling works of art. Independent film makers in the United States make an immeasurable contribution to the development of this dynamic art form through their investigation of subject matter and aesthetic experimentation.
ON Screen In Person brings the vision of some of the country’s best independent filmmakers to Allentown Symphony Hall. Film Directors will appear at Symphony Hall with each film on the scheduled dates noted below to provide context of their work, and stimulate general discussion. There will be ample opportunity for Q&A.
