ACHF Arts Access
Quantitative: 1500 adult audience members by 25 adult adoptee artists. Qualitative: Evaluation of the project’s success artistically and experientially will be based on the audience’s reception of the films and the filmmakers—which will probably be most evident during the Q and A/panel discussion. We anticipate a successful event will evoke a very lively and informative dialogue between audience members, filmmakers, and the adult adoptees on the panel. We will be able to evaluate the success of our event by the discussion generated in the community through the topics raised at the festival. In addition, the emerging adoptee filmmaker program will directly display the artistic success of specific adoptee filmmakers who will have the chance to share their film at the festival.Ticket sales/audience attendance; Audience surveys; Observation of audience; Interaction between audience and panel discussion members; Artist feedback.
250 attendees to the festival, the highest attendance since Minnesota Transracial Film Festival's inception in 2009; 6 filmmakers/panelists attended the event and the films featured at least 20 additional adoptee artists in other roles (editing, production); The launch of our emerging filmmaker program gave a platform for one new adoptee filmmaker named Beth Kopacz to showcase her short film Who is Park Joo Young?
