FILM TEXAS AMARILLO AUSTIN BROWNSVILLE ... Austin Film Works (AFW) Since fall of 1993, Austin FilmWorks has offered college level filmmaking courses with the aim of providing solid information and experience that students may use to create their own film and video projects. Our students are diverse in background, practical experience, and age. They come largely from the city's universities, corporations, and arts communities. Austin FilmWorks has earned a reputation for challenging students to innovate in the independent tradition. That independence is based on a bedrock knowledge of film stocks, lenses, cameras and formats. We believe that technical and aesthetic grounding leads to individual control of the creative process. Austin School of Film is a local non-profit with a national reputation. Providing access to media, education, technology, and professional training, we are not just a production facility, but also a facilitator for emerging filmmakers and media artists in central Texas. Mexican American Cultural Center The Mexican American Cultural Center is to be dedicated to the preservation, creation, presentation, and promotion of Mexican American cultural arts and heritage. The center will be a tremendous resource for the local community and also for visitors. Through education and community participation, the center will foster a meaningful understanding and appreciation of Chicano, Native American, and other Latino cultures with their respective artistic expressions. The programs and education curriculum will include the areas of visual art, theater, dance, literature, music, multi-media and the culinary arts. | |
