ARKANSAS CINEMA SOCIETY INC

Description

The Arkansas Cinema Society and its premiere event Filmland were created to build a film community in Arkansas where film lovers can watch films, share ideas, connect with each other and nurture the new and existing film talent within our state through increased exposure to filmmakers and their art. Filmland brings film industry professionals to Arkansas connecting Arkansans directly to the industry at large, and to like-minded film artists and lovers living in Arkansas who may one day be collaborators. Over the first few years, Filmland has been honored to host Academy Award nominated actor Adam Driver, five-time Oscar nominated Director Richard Linklater, Director David Lowery, Producers Fred Berger and Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, Actor and Director Joel Edgerton, David and Christina Arquette, WIll Forte and Ted Danson and Oscar winner and ACS board member Mary Steenburgen. Last year's films featured the Southern Premiere of Nomadland with director Chloé Zhao and One Night in Miami with Kemp Powers. Screenings also feature Q&A's moderated by ACS Founder and Director Jeff Nichols.
