CINEMA LOUNGE One 60-minute broadcast program

Cinema Lounge: A MN Filmmaker Showcase is an anthology of current, cutting edge, and innovative films by a diverse range of local media artists. The project is a reboot of Twin Cities PBS’ long running MNTV, which served the local film community and their audiences for years. Curated by FilmNorth, the one hour ‘film fest on the air’ will feature the state of the art of indie short films from the North Star state. Twin Cities PBS has a long history of supporting, collaborating with, and curating the work of Minnesota’s independent filmmakers. Cinema Lounge , a collaboration with independent media artists support organization FilmNorth, is a return to this role of lifting up the work of film makers in the state. Using Legacy Resources to amplify the work of media makers over our distribution platforms meets several of the pillars of the Arts & Culture Heritage Fund. In addition to featuring the films on our platforms, FilmNorth will also host screenings with the work to engage with community.

STAGE SEASON 3 Six 60-minute episodes for broadcast and streaming; 6 episode digital series

Their dynamic music will be complemented by entertaining and oftentimes surprising onstage storytelling that will give viewers a unique insight into

the artists' lives and music. Then, in an exciting twist, each episode’s headliner introduces a new, up-and-coming local act that inspires them – together they play a few songs on the iconic 7th Street Entry stage, where many bands get their start. Each episode culminates in an original, never-before-heard collaboration between the two artists.
