The Alberta Media Arts Alliance Society (AMAAS) is a not-for-profit society dedicated to fostering the common objectives of Alberta’s diverse media arts organizations and artists in the areas of promotion and education. Recognizing the media arts’ vital role in the cultural fabric of the province of Alberta, AMAAS provides a forum for dialogue between the media centres, creating synergies and enhancing the abilities of the centres and their memberships to create and exhibit artistic works. For more information, please visit amaas.ca.
Metro Cinema
Metro Cinema is a community-based non-profit society devoted to the exhibition and promotion of local, Canadian, international and independent film and video in Edmonton, Alberta. To this end, Metro exhibits an eclectic blend of film, video and media arts that would not otherwise screen in the city. Metro’s focus is on presenting a broad selection of innovative, cultural and educational works. The Society operates with the assistance of a large volunteer base, and produces a regular program, bringing in artists and facilitating discussion. For more information, please visit metrocinema.org.
Prairie Tales
Now in its tenth year, Prairie Tales is an annual touring collection of Alberta short film and video. We regularly include work from the shining lights of the Alberta media arts scene. Prairie Tales is produced by Metro Cinema, in partnership with AMAAS, and with funding assistance from the Canada Council for the Arts, and the Alberta Foundation for the Arts. For more information, or to schedule a Prairie Tales screening, please visit prairietales.org.
