In keeping with our mission to support and encourage a vibrant cinematic community in Southwest Michigan, the Kalamazoo Film Society is pleased and proud to announce our first annual filmmaker showcase. Every film accepted will give filmmakers an opportunity to view their work with professional projections at Celebration Cinema in Portage, MI. After the showcase, filmmakers in attendance will be invited to the front of the auditorium for a Q&A, with prepared questions coming from the host of the evening, then opening up questions from the audience.
