Moonplay cinema
Moonplay Cinema is an artist-run project organized by Jes Reyes. She founded Moonplay in September 2019 by collaborating with artists Kiera Faber, Andrea Shaker, and Molly Parker Stuart. We aimed to create a microcinema program with quarterly screenings. Due to the pandemic, we canceled the screenings, and pivoted by creating remote programs: a podcast called Where to From Here and the Consortium, a virtual support group for filmmakers of diverse genders.
A cohort of artists practicing in moving image mediums is rising from our current programming, demonstrating a need for our resources. We are scaling up our services to meet this need so that we can build capacity and reach more people who need our support and community. Thus, our 2023/24 educational and event programming includes expanding access to mentorship, workshops, and professional development materials. These resources are often neglected as part of film-based educational programming. We seek to resolve this through our commitment to supporting underserved and underrepresented filmmakers who work across many different genres and mediums. www.moonplaycinema.org |
