The Maynard Park Inner-city Film Festival Tribute (or MIFFT) kicks off this weekend at the MP Arts Center. Originally, a very robust slate of films was planned for the festival, showcasing hundreds of movies from around the world. However, due to budgetary constraints, the film festival was extensively re-imagined.
Instead of actually showing films, a team of local thespians will provide staged readings of film descriptions from other prominent Film Festival guides. Says Artistic Director, Travis Perdant, "we still feel we're in a position to create excitement about the art of cinema."
Admission is free to the public, but donations may be demanded upon entrance.
