Since 1981, the annual Black Maria Film and Video Festival, an international juried competition and award tour, has been fulfilling its mission to advocate, exhibit and reward cutting edge works from independent film and videomakers. Every program presentation in the tour is custom curated to specific audiences and is presented by the Festival Director, John Columbus. The festival is named after The Black Maria, Thomas Edison's film studio, the first such film studio in history. For more information visit them at www.blackmariafilmfestival.org.
"The Black Maria tour is an exciting evening of film and video. It's not often we can show innovative and well-constructed short films in a community setting. The shows are balanced and excellently curated. John Columbus presents a compelling and knowledgeable narrative that places the films in context and helps us gain an insight into the more challenging work."
-- John Pietrowski, Madison Arts and Culture Alliance
