Two Nonprofit Film Organizations Merge
The 51-year-old San Francisco Film Society has agreed to take over the Film Arts Foundation, a struggling San Francisco nonprofit organization that has been well known in that city for its teaching and support of local Bay Area filmmakers, reports the San Francisco Chronicle.
Officials at the Film Society say they plan to expand on some of the Film Arts Foundation’s work, including film-production classes, financial support of films, and help with distribution and marketing, while eliminating the group’s equipment and facility rentals. The Film Arts Foundation broke even in 2007 but faced hard times this year.
“As with a lot of nonprofits, we didn’t have much of a safety net,” said the Film Arts Foundation president, Steve Ramirez.
