FILM PIX SCHOLARSHIP

for ASPIRING FILMMAKERS

 

 

 

 

HISTORY 

 

In spring 2004, the groundwork for Saint John's first-ever film scholarship was laid through the creation of Film Pix, a 35mm, cinematic film series with a twist; education through the awarding of a major, annual film scholarship with an emphasis on youth. It would be 100% volunteer based, and allocate 100% of its net proceeds to assisting aspiring filmmakers with their post-secondary and advanced education.

With the support of Toronto International Film Festival Group’s Film Circuit, early and local sponsor 4FRONT film services, inc., and the volunteer administration and management of the series by local producer Kendra Black, screenings of world-class, new release independent, foreign language, documentary and art house films began at Saint John’s historic King’s Square Cinemas.

 

In creating the series, certain key objectives were established that were aligned with Film Pix's corporate values and beliefs:

  • The creation of awareness about non-traditional career alternatives for youth in the Greater Saint John market;
  • Assisting the facilitation of quality education for aspiring filmmakers by acting as a resource for them, and through the provision of financial support to those who wish to undertake advanced training;
  • Exposing emerging and potential filmmakers to world-class, alternative film productions and production values that educate, and inspire them to attain similar results;
  • Stimulating consumer interest in foreign language, documentary, arthouse, and other alternative films.

And, so it was. Film Pix set about bringing the most talked about feature length films in the world to Saint John, and building a pool of funds from which a major annual film scholarship would be awarded to a local student following a successful application process.

Film Pix is Not a For-Profit Entity.

 

Film Pix is the Funding Engine Behind a Film Scholarship for Greater Saint John Youth. It is a Locally Driven, Volunteer-Managed, Film-Based Series, with Monthly, New-Release 35mm Feature Films in a Cinema Setting, Periodic Special Guests, and More!

 

Through sponsorship support from the corporate community; box office proceeds from the movie-going public; the donation of periodic performances by amazing musical and other special guests; volunteer photographers, camera operators, and other technical staff; and, an enthusiastic team of movie night volunteers, a sustainable fund is building that will afford creatively minded local youth the chance to pursue their film interests at the college or university level.   

 

Film Pix is proud to have a working arrangement with Film Circuit, a division of the highly respected Toronto International Film Festival Group.
