SALT LAKE FILM SOCIETY IS THE CENTER OF UTAH'S INDEPENDENT, FOREIGN AND DOCUMENTARY CINEMATIC UNIVERSE. WE PRESENT AN AMAZING 12,000+ OPPORTUNITIES A YEAR IN SALT LAKE COUNTY FOR RESIDENTS TO ENJOY EXTRAORDINARY FILM PRESENTATIONS AT BOTH THE HISTORIC TOWER AND CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT BROADWAY THEATERS. OUR FACILITIES ALLOW US TO CREATE CINEMATIC EVENTS THAT BUILD BRIDGES FOR COMMUNICATION WITHIN UTAH'S CONTINUALLY DIVERSIFYING POPULATION AND THE CHANGING GLOBAL MILIEU. MORE THAN 200,000 PEOPLE PARTICIPATED IN OUR FILM PRESENTATIONS AND PROGRAMS IN 2010.WE HAVE SERVED OVER 1.5 MILLION SINCE OUR FOUNDING TEN YEARS AGO. THIS OUTPOURING OF COMMUNITY SUPPORT UNDERSCORES SALT LAKE FILM SOCIETY'S POSITION AS A TOP-TIER ARTS AND CULTURE ORGANIZATION IN UTAH AND THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST. AS THE ONLY FILM PRESENTING ORGANIZATION WITH PERMANENT FACILITIES WE PROVIDE SALT LAKE COUNTY CURRENT, HISTORIC, REPERTORY, CULTURAL AND TOPICAL FILM PRESENTATIONS COMBINED WITH FILM FOSTERING AND FILM EDUCATION PROJECTS 365 DAYS A YEAR. THIS ALLOWS US TO DELIVER SUCH A ROBUST MISSION. WE ARE CELEBRATING 10 YEARS OF PRESENTING THE BEST FILM SELECTIONS FROM AROUND THE WORLD AND ARE PROUD TO ENABLE UTAH'S OWN FILM TALENT TO CREATE THE NEXT FRONTIER IN INNOVATIVE FILM. FILM IS ONE OF THE YOUNGEST AND LEAST PRESERVED ART FORMS. SALT LAKE FILM SOCIETY PROVIDES A LIVING CINEMA PRESENTATION FORUM FOR OUR COMMUNITY. WE BIND THE PRESENTATIONS AND COMMUNITY EXPERIENCE TO PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS, PERHAPS EVEN MORE SO THAN PERFORMING ARTS. WE CHALLENGE AND FOSTER ARTISTS AND PROVIDE ACCESS TO BOTH RARE AND ACCESSIBLE CONTENT. WE PROVIDE FILM-VIEWING OPPORTUNITIES THAT RUN THE GAMUT FROM DYNAMIC LARGER-BUDGET PRODUCTIONS TO RARE AND UNDERGROUND CINEMATIC CREATIONS OF AMERICAN INDEPENDENT, FOREIGN AND DOCUMENTARY GENRES. WHILE OTHER ORGANIZATIONS HAVE FOLDED OR HAD TO REIGN-IN THEIR OFFERINGS, OUR SOLID PATRON BASE AND INCREASED GRANT-WRITING EFFORTS HAVE ALLOWED US TO EXPAND AUDIENCE RANGE AND IMPACT. THIS SOLIDIFIES AND VALIDATES OUR CORE FILM EDUCATION AND FILM FOSTERING INITIATIVES. OUR 2010 FILM EDUCATION INITIATIVE INCLUDED: THE 7TH AND LARGEST YEAR OF "BIG PICTURES LITTLE PEOPLE," A PROGRAM BRINGING ARTISTIC FILM ACCESS TO LOW-INCOME, SHELTER AND FOSTER CHILDREN; "IVORY TOWER FILM SERIES," A STUDENT LECTURE SERIES IN COLLABORATION WITH WESTMINSTER COLLEGE; "WASSAIL & WAFFLES HOLIDAY FILM SERIES," EXPANDING HOLIDAY FREE PROGRAMMING; "GLOBAL LENS SERIES," PRESENTING HIGH-SCHOOL STUDENTS AND PUBLIC RESIDENTS WITH TEN FILMS FROM TEN NATIONS IN TEN DAYS; "VISITING FILM ARTISTS & PANELS," OFFERING FILM DIRECTOR Q&AS AND SKYPE VISITS FOR THE PUBLIC; "TOWER ARCHIVE COLLECTION," GIVING FREE AND RENTAL ACCESS TO OVER 5,000 RARE FILMS; AND OUR VERY OWN INAUGURAL "FILM 101 CLASS," PROVIDING ACCESS TO SHARED FILM ENTHUSIASM FOR ALL AGES. OUR FILM FOSTERING INITIATIVE LAUNCHED IN 2005 WITH "UTAH SCREENWRITERS PROJECT," MENTORING A WRITING COMMUNITY IN UTAH; FOLLOWED BY "LOCAL OPEN SCREEN NIGHT," PROVIDING NETWORKING AND EXHIBITION FOR LOCAL ARTISTS; AND WITH THE HELP OF ZAP FUNDS, WE HAVE EXPANDED TO LAUNCH 2010'S "UTAH DIGITAL DIRECTORS PROJECT." IN ALL, SLFS TREATED OVER 26,600 RESIDENTS TO FREE FILM PRESENTATIONS, NEARLY 5,000 FOLKS TOOK ADVANTAGE OF OUR SPECIAL EDUCATION PRESENTATIONS, AND OVER 16,000 FILM TITLES LOANED TO RESIDENTS THROUGH THE TOWER ARCHIVE COLLECTION. COMBINED, OVER 190,000 SALT LAKE COUNTY RESIDENTS REPRESENT OUR AUDIENCE. LAST YEAR ALONE WE COMPLETED 20 COMMUNITY PROJECTS FULFILLING 4 CORE INITIATIVES TO EMBRACE THE COMPLEXITY OF FILM IN OUR ARTS COMMUNITY. WE DELIVERED MEASURABLY BENEFICIAL CONTENT, ACCESS AND EXPANDED OUR MISSION TO CREATE FURTHER DIALOG REGARDING FILM'S PLACE AS A CULTURAL INSTITUTION. THE "UTAH DIGITAL DIRECTOR'S PROJECT" EXEMPLIFIED THE WAYS IN WHICH THE SALT LAKE FILM SOCIETY MEETS AND EXCEEDS ITS PROGRAMMING GOALS. THIS PROGRAM EXCEEDED ALL EXPECTATIONS AND MET BUDGET IN ITS INAUGURAL YEAR. THE GOAL OF THE PROGRAM WAS TO PROVIDE A MENTORED FILM LAB WHERE BURGEONING ARTISTS COULD REFINE SKILL-SETS, EXPAND CREATIVE THINKING AND LEARN BUDGET MANAGEMENT. THROUGH HARD WORK AND TARGETED GOALS, SLFS WAS ABLE TO PROVIDE ENOUGH RESOURCES FOR EACH OF THE 4 FELLOWS TO COMPLETE AN ENTIRE SHORT FILM UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF WELL-KNOW ACTOR/WRITER/DIRECTOR/PRODUCER, PETER RIEGERT (LOCAL HERO, KING OF THE CORNER). 90 ASSOCIATED FILM PERSONNEL, INCLUDING ACTORS, TECHNICAL STAFF, CREW, AND POST-PRODUCTION STAFF, LENT THEIR TALENTS, FACILITIES, AND IN-KIND SERVICES TO BRING THE PROJECT TO FRUITION. OVER 320 PEOPLE ATTENDED THE SOLD OUT PUBLIC SCREENING OF THE DIRECTOR FELLOWS' FINISHED SHORT FILMS AT THE AWARDS CEREMONY. THESE ACHIEVEMENTS WERE ALL DUE TO THE THOUGHTFUL PLANNING AND PURPOSEFUL ACTION OF A TALENTED STAFF AT THE DIRECTION OF EXECUTIVE AND BOARD LEADERSHIP. TO ACHIEVE ANY GOAL, SALT LAKE FILM SOCIETY ADHERES TO A STRICT STRATEGY OF PLANNING, ACCOUNTABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION. WE ALWAYS MAINTAIN ETHICAL OPERATIONS AND FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY WITH PASSIONATE DEDICATION TO COMMUNITY THROUGH OUR PRESENTING PROGRAMS. ANNUAL THREE-YEAR AND TEN-YEAR STRATEGIC PLANS ARE THOUGHTFULLY PLOTTED AND REVIEWED AT STAFF AND BOARD MEETINGS ALONG WITH PROGRAM ANALYSIS AND FINANCIAL HEALTH REVIEWS. OUR PROGRAMMING SUCCESSES AND INSTITUTIONAL STABILITY MAKE THE SALT LAKE FILM SOCIETY A RECOGNIZED MODEL AND LEADER OF THE NATIONAL ART HOUSE NETWORK.. OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR SERVES AS CO-CHAIR OF THE ART HOUSE CONVERGENCE NATIONAL GROUP. WITH SUCH MOMENTUM AND RECOGNITION OF THE IMPORTANCE OF FILM AS AN INSTITUTION IN THE CULTURAL TAPESTRY OF OUR COMMUNITY, WE WILL CONTINUE TO EXPAND OUR AUDIENCE-SHARE, SERVE DIVERSITY AND PROVIDE ACCESS TO ALL CULTURAL POCKETS IN OUR STATE SO THAT NO ETHNIC, GEOGRAPHIC, OR ECONOMIC STATUS CAUSES A BARRIER TO PARTICIPATION IN OR ADVOCACY THROUGH THE ART OF CINEMA. WE WILL CONTINUE TO REPRESENT OUR CULTURE TO UTAH'S PERMANENT AND VISITING POPULATIONS BY BUILDING ON OUR STRENGTHS, INNOVATIONS AND PARTNERSHIPS IN 2011. SLFS' BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND ADVISORY BOARDS, WITH A DEEP PASSION AND VAST EXPERIENCE WITH FILM AS AN ART FORM AND EDUCATIONAL FORUM, IS TASKED WITH ENSURING THAT WE MEET OUR GOALS. SLFS REACHED ALL OF OUR 2009 & 2010 APPLICATION SHORT-TERM GOALS AND ARE EXCITED TO BE WORKING TOWARDS SUCH MEASURABLE SUCCESS WITH THIS YEAR'S GOALS. SHORT TERM: 1. WE ARE FOCUSED ON CONTINUING TO DEVELOP AND IMPROVE OUR CORE PROGRAMS INCLUDING: "UTAH SCREENWRITERS PROJECT," "LOCAL OPEN SCREEN," "BIG PICTURES LITTLE PEOPLE" AND OUR ACCESS PROGRAMS. OUR GOAL IS TO REACH MILESTONES AND MEASURABLE RESULTS FOR ALL SLFS PROGRAMS. WE PLEDGE TO EXPAND OUR BREADTH OF KNOWLEDGE IN OUR FIELD TO ENSURE OUR METHODOLOGY IN PROGRAM SELECTION, MAINTENANCE AND CREATION FITS THE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY. 2. WE INTEND TO WORK TOWARDS A MORE VIBRANT CULTURAL ARTS CORE BY COMMUNICATING ART HOUSE IMPACT TO THE BROADER PUBLIC AND POLITICAL BODIES, SUPPORTING OUR PATRON BASE, AND ALSO BUILDING UPON THE VISION FOR A WORLD-CLASS FILM FACILITY IN OUR CAPITAL CITY. 3. SLFS WILL HELP TO EXPAND EXPOSURE AND APPRECIATION OF FILM AROUND UTAH BY ASSISTING NEW ART HOUSE START-UPS AROUND THE STATE. WE LOVE FILM WE PLEDGE TO CONTINUE TO INCREASE APPRECIATION FOR THIS ART FORM WHENEVER AND WHEREVER WE CAN. LONG TERM: 1. AS A FOUNDING MEMBER OF THE UTAH FILM AND MEDIA ARTS COALITION, SLFS HAS BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN FACILITATING THE LAUNCH OF THE 2010 COUNTY-PARTNERED FEASIBILITY STUDY. SLFS WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT AND COLLABORATE TO REALIZE THE COALITION VISION FOR A FILM FACILITY THAT OFFERS WORLD-CLASS FILM PRESENTATION EXPERIENCES. IT REMAINS A STRATEGIC PRIORITY TO SLFS THAT RESIDENTS OF UTAH WILL NEVER BE WITHOUT ACCESS TO OUR DIVERSE ART FORM. 2. SLFS WILL DEFINE, CLARIFY AND REACH FURTHER INTO OUR BRANDING, AWARENESS AND THE IMPACT OF OUR PROGRAMS. THIS WILL ENSURE SLFS'S SERVICE TO FILM AND THE ARTS COMMUNITY REACHES FURTHER AND GROWS. 3. SLFS WILL BUILD NATIONAL DIALOG TO HELP SHAPE THE ART HOUSE INSTITUTION WITHIN CULTURAL CORE AREAS. WE WILL CONTINUE TO BE TRAILBLAZERS IN TRENDSETTING BUSINESS MODELS, CREATIVE PROGRAMMING, COLLABORATIVE LEVERAGE AND INTEGRITY OF FACILITY OPERATIONS. WE WILL SEEK NATIONAL FUNDING TO SUPPORT THE CORE OF OUR MISSION AS AN INSTITUTION, NOT MERELY ISOLATED PROJECTS. SIMILAR TO SYMPHONIES, OPERAS, BALLETS AND OTHER PERFORMING ARTS ORGANIZATIONS, SLFS IS FUNDED BY A COMBINATION OF PATRON TICKET REVENUES, A COMMUNITY BASE OF DONORS, PUBLIC FUNDING, MEMBERSHIPS, IN-KIND, AND PRIVATE FOUNDATION GRANTS. BECAUSE OF THIS FISCAL FOUNDATION, WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO RESPOND QUICKLY TO CHALLENGES AND HAVE POTENTIAL FOR CONTINUED GROWTH AS WE JOIN FORCES WITH MORE COMMUNITY PARTNERS. OUR BUDGETS ARE DIVERSIFIED, BECAUSE THEY MUST BE TO PROVIDE FOR OUR MISSION. LIKE THE LEGACY ARTS, TICKET REVENUES ALONE ABSOLUTELY DO NOT SUPPORT OUR CULTURAL, ARTIST AND EDUCATION PROGRAMS, OF WHICH IT IS OUR MISSION TO EXPAND AND FOSTER. AS A DIRECT RESULT OF: I

ORGANIZATION'S MISSION FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION THE SALT LAKE FILM SOCIETY ("SLFS") PROVIDES FILM PROGRAMMING THAT IS SENSITIVE TO CURRENT SOCIAL, CULTURAL AND EDUCATIONAL ISSUES THAT ARE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY. SLFS MAKES AVAILABLE A VARIETY OF CONTEMPORARY AND HISTORICAL FILM AND PROVIDES A VENUE FOR THE EXHIBITION AND DISCUSSION OF ARTISTIC WORK THAT EXHIBITS MERIT BUT IS OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC DUE TO FILMMAKERS' FUNDING CONSTRAINTS. SLFS ALSO MAKES AVAILABLE REFERENCE MATERIALS TO THOSE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN MAKING COMPARATIVE STUDIES, DIRECTOR STUDIES OR EXPANDING A GENERAL INTEREST IN FILMMAKING. SLFS PROVIDES EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS FOR LOCAL UNIVERSITY PROFESSORS AND STUDENTS WHO UTILIZE DVD IN THE FURTHERANCE OF STUDENTS' UNDERSTANDING OF WORLD HISTORY, CULTURE AND CURRENT EVENTS. IN ADDITION, SLFS COORDINATES WITH UNIVERSITIES AND EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS TO PRESENT PROGRAMS TAILORED TO EDUCATIONAL NEEDS AND IN TARGET OF INCREASING AWARENESS OF DIVERSE CULTURES THROUGH CINEMA. FURTHER, SLFS IS COMMITTED TO COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAMMING TO GENERATE INTEREST IN ARTISTIC, CULTURAL AND EDUCATIONAL FILM. SLFS PROMOTES PUBLIC AWARENESS OF, AND INVOLVEMENT IN, DISCUSSIONS OF CURRENT SOCIAL THEMES AS THEY ARISE IN CONTEMPORARY CINEMA. SLFS FOSTERS LOCAL AND REGIONAL UTAH FILM TALENT AND PROVIDES PROGRAMS THAT ENSURE NETWORKING AND INTERCONNECTIVITY OF OUR COMMUNITY IN FILM IS SUPPORTED, SUSTAINED AND ENRICHED.
FIRST ACHIEVEMENT DESCRIPTION FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A AS THE ONLY FILM PRESENTING ORGANIZATION WITH PERMANENT FACILITIES WE PROVIDE SALT LAKE COUNTY CURRENT, HISTORIC, REPERTORY, CULTURAL AND TOPICAL FILM PRESENTATIONS COMBINED WITH FILM FOSTERING AND FILM EDUCATION PROJECTS 365 DAYS A YEAR. THIS ALLOWS US TO DELIVER SUCH A ROBUST MISSION. WE ARE CELEBRATING 10 YEARS OF PRESENTING THE BEST FILM SELECTIONS FROM AROUND THE WORLD AND ARE PROUD TO ENABLE UTAH'S OWN FILM TALENT TO CREATE THE NEXT FRONTIER IN INNOVATIVE FILM. FILM IS ONE OF THE YOUNGEST AND LEAST PRESERVED ART FORMS. SALT LAKE FILM SOCIETY PROVIDES A LIVING CINEMA PRESENTATION FORUM FOR OUR COMMUNITY. WE BIND THE PRESENTATIONS AND COMMUNITY EXPERIENCE TO PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS, PERHAPS EVEN MORE SO THAN PERFORMING ARTS. WE CHALLENGE AND FOSTER ARTISTS AND PROVIDE ACCESS TO BOTH RARE AND ACCESSIBLE CONTENT. WE PROVIDE FILM-VIEWING OPPORTUNITIES THAT RUN THE GAMUT FROM DYNAMIC LARGER-BUDGET PRODUCTIONS TO RARE AND UNDERGROUND CINEMATIC CREATIONS OF AMERICAN INDEPENDENT, FOREIGN AND DOCUMENTARY GENRES. WHILE OTHER ORGANIZATIONS HAVE FOLDED OR HAD TO REIGN-IN THEIR OFFERINGS, OUR SOLID PATRON BASE AND INCREASED GRANT-WRITING EFFORTS HAVE ALLOWED US TO EXPAND AUDIENCE RANGE AND IMPACT. THIS SOLIDIFIES AND VALIDATES OUR CORE FILM EDUCATION AND FILM FOSTERING INITIATIVES. OUR 2010 FILM EDUCATION INITIATIVE INCLUDED: THE 7TH AND LARGEST YEAR OF "BIG PICTURES LITTLE PEOPLE," A PROGRAM BRINGING ARTISTIC FILM ACCESS TO LOW-INCOME, SHELTER AND FOSTER CHILDREN; "IVORY TOWER FILM SERIES," A STUDENT LECTURE SERIES IN COLLABORATION WITH WESTMINSTER COLLEGE; "WASSAIL & WAFFLES HOLIDAY FILM SERIES," EXPANDING HOLIDAY FREE PROGRAMMING; "GLOBAL LENS SERIES," PRESENTING HIGH-SCHOOL STUDENTS AND PUBLIC RESIDENTS WITH TEN FILMS FROM TEN NATIONS IN TEN DAYS; "VISITING FILM ARTISTS & PANELS," OFFERING FILM DIRECTOR Q&AS AND SKYPE VISITS FOR THE PUBLIC; "TOWER ARCHIVE COLLECTION," GIVING FREE AND RENTAL ACCESS TO OVER 5,000 RARE FILMS; AND OUR VERY OWN INAUGURAL "FILM 101 CLASS," PROVIDING ACCESS TO SHARED FILM ENTHUSIASM FOR ALL AGES. OUR FILM FOSTERING INITIATIVE LAUNCHED IN 2005 WITH "UTAH SCREENWRITERS PROJECT," MENTORING A WRITING COMMUNITY IN UTAH; FOLLOWED BY "LOCAL OPEN SCREEN NIGHT," PROVIDING NETWORKING AND EXHIBITION FOR LOCAL ARTISTS; AND WITH THE HELP OF ZAP FUNDS, WE HAVE EXPANDED TO LAUNCH 2010'S "UTAH DIGITAL DIRECTORS PROJECT." IN ALL, SLFS TREATED OVER 26,600 RESIDENTS TO FREE FILM PRESENTATIONS, NEARLY 5,000 FOLKS TOOK ADVANTAGE OF OUR SPECIAL EDUCATION PRESENTATIONS, AND OVER 16,000 FILM TITLES LOANED TO RESIDENTS THROUGH THE TOWER ARCHIVE COLLECTION. COMBINED, OVER 190,000 SALT LAKE COUNTY RESIDENTS REPRESENT OUR AUDIENCE. LAST YEAR ALONE WE COMPLETED 20 COMMUNITY PROJECTS FULFILLING 4 CORE INITIATIVES TO EMBRACE THE COMPLEXITY OF FILM IN OUR ARTS COMMUNITY. WE DELIVERED MEASURABLY BENEFICIAL CONTENT, ACCESS AND EXPANDED OUR MISSION TO CREATE FURTHER DIALOG REGARDING FILM'S PLACE AS A CULTURAL INSTITUTION. THE "UTAH DIGITAL DIRECTOR'S PROJECT" EXEMPLIFIED THE WAYS IN WHICH THE SALT LAKE FILM SOCIETY MEETS AND EXCEEDS ITS PROGRAMMING GOALS. THIS PROGRAM EXCEEDED ALL EXPECTATIONS AND MET BUDGET IN ITS INAUGURAL YEAR. THE GOAL OF THE PROGRAM WAS TO PROVIDE A MENTORED FILM LAB WHERE BURGEONING ARTISTS COULD REFINE SKILL-SETS, EXPAND CREATIVE THINKING AND LEARN BUDGET MANAGEMENT. THROUGH HARD WORK AND TARGETED GOALS, SLFS WAS ABLE TO PROVIDE ENOUGH RESOURCES FOR EACH OF THE 4 FELLOWS TO COMPLETE AN ENTIRE SHORT FILM UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF WELL-KNOW ACTOR/WRITER/DIRECTOR/PRODUCER, PETER RIEGERT (LOCAL HERO, KING OF THE CORNER). 90 ASSOCIATED FILM PERSONNEL, INCLUDING ACTORS, TECHNICAL STAFF, CREW, AND POST-PRODUCTION STAFF, LENT THEIR TALENTS, FACILITIES, AND IN-KIND SERVICES TO BRING THE PROJECT TO FRUITION. OVER 320 PEOPLE ATTENDED THE SOLD OUT PUBLIC SCREENING OF THE DIRECTOR FELLOWS' FINISHED SHORT FILMS AT THE AWARDS CEREMONY. THESE ACHIEVEMENTS WERE ALL DUE TO THE THOUGHTFUL PLANNING AND PURPOSEFUL ACTION OF A TALENTED STAFF AT THE DIRECTION OF EXECUTIVE AND BOARD LEADERSHIP. TO ACHIEVE ANY GOAL, SALT LAKE FILM SOCIETY ADHERES TO A STRICT STRATEGY OF PLANNING, ACCOUNTABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION. WE ALWAYS MAINTAIN ETHICAL OPERATIONS AND FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY WITH PASSIONATE DEDICATION TO COMMUNITY THROUGH OUR PRESENTING PROGRAMS. ANNUAL THREE-YEAR AND TEN-YEAR STRATEGIC PLANS ARE THOUGHTFULLY PLOTTED AND REVIEWED AT STAFF AND BOARD MEETINGS ALONG WITH PROGRAM ANALYSIS AND FINANCIAL HEALTH REVIEWS. OUR PROGRAMMING SUCCESSES AND INSTITUTIONAL STABILITY MAKE THE SALT LAKE FILM SOCIETY A RECOGNIZED MODEL AND LEADER OF THE NATIONAL ART HOUSE NETWORK.. OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR SERVES AS CO-CHAIR OF THE ART HOUSE CONVERGENCE NATIONAL GROUP. WITH SUCH MOMENTUM AND RECOGNITION OF THE IMPORTANCE OF FILM AS AN INSTITUTION IN THE CULTURAL TAPESTRY OF OUR COMMUNITY, WE WILL CONTINUE TO EXPAND OUR AUDIENCE-SHARE, SERVE DIVERSITY AND PROVIDE ACCESS TO ALL CULTURAL POCKETS IN OUR STATE SO THAT NO ETHNIC, GEOGRAPHIC, OR ECONOMIC STATUS CAUSES A BARRIER TO PARTICIPATION IN OR ADVOCACY THROUGH THE ART OF CINEMA. WE WILL CONTINUE TO REPRESENT OUR CULTURE TO UTAH'S PERMANENT AND VISITING POPULATIONS BY BUILDING ON OUR STRENGTHS, INNOVATIONS AND PARTNERSHIPS IN 2011. SLFS' BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND ADVISORY BOARDS, WITH A DEEP PASSION AND VAST EXPERIENCE WITH FILM AS AN ART FORM AND EDUCATIONAL FORUM, IS TASKED WITH ENSURING THAT WE MEET OUR GOALS. SLFS REACHED ALL OF OUR 2009 & 2010 APPLICATION SHORT-TERM GOALS AND ARE EXCITED TO BE WORKING TOWARDS SUCH MEASURABLE SUCCESS WITH THIS YEAR'S GOALS. SHORT TERM: 1. WE ARE FOCUSED ON CONTINUING TO DEVELOP AND IMPROVE OUR CORE PROGRAMS INCLUDING: "UTAH SCREENWRITERS PROJECT," "LOCAL OPEN SCREEN," "BIG PICTURES LITTLE PEOPLE" AND OUR ACCESS PROGRAMS. OUR GOAL IS TO REACH MILESTONES AND MEASURABLE RESULTS FOR ALL SLFS PROGRAMS. WE PLEDGE TO EXPAND OUR BREADTH OF KNOWLEDGE IN OUR FIELD TO ENSURE OUR METHODOLOGY IN PROGRAM SELECTION, MAINTENANCE AND CREATION FITS THE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY. 2. WE INTEND TO WORK TOWARDS A MORE VIBRANT CULTURAL ARTS CORE BY COMMUNICATING ART HOUSE IMPACT TO THE BROADER PUBLIC AND POLITICAL BODIES, SUPPORTING OUR PATRON BASE, AND ALSO BUILDING UPON THE VISION FOR A WORLD-CLASS FILM FACILITY IN OUR CAPITAL CITY. 3. SLFS WILL HELP TO EXPAND EXPOSURE AND APPRECIATION OF FILM AROUND UTAH BY ASSISTING NEW ART HOUSE START-UPS AROUND THE STATE. WE LOVE FILM WE PLEDGE TO CONTINUE TO INCREASE APPRECIATION FOR THIS ART FORM WHENEVER AND WHEREVER WE CAN. LONG TERM: 1. AS A FOUNDING MEMBER OF THE UTAH FILM AND MEDIA ARTS COALITION, SLFS HAS BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN FACILITATING THE LAUNCH OF THE 2010 COUNTY-PARTNERED FEASIBILITY STUDY. SLFS WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT AND COLLABORATE TO REALIZE THE COALITION VISION FOR A FILM FACILITY THAT OFFERS WORLD-CLASS FILM PRESENTATION EXPERIENCES. IT REMAINS A STRATEGIC PRIORITY TO SLFS THAT RESIDENTS OF UTAH WILL NEVER BE WITHOUT ACCESS TO OUR DIVERSE ART FORM. 2. SLFS WILL DEFINE, CLARIFY AND REACH FURTHER INTO OUR BRANDING, AWARENESS AND THE IMPACT OF OUR PROGRAMS. THIS WILL ENSURE SLFS'S SERVICE TO FILM AND THE ARTS COMMUNITY REACHES FURTHER AND GROWS. 3. SLFS WILL BUILD NATIONAL DIALOG TO HELP SHAPE THE ART HOUSE INSTITUTION WITHIN CULTURAL CORE AREAS. WE WILL CONTINUE TO BE TRAILBLAZERS IN TRENDSETTING BUSINESS MODELS, CREATIVE PROGRAMMING, COLLABORATIVE LEVERAGE AND INTEGRITY OF FACILITY OPERATIONS. WE WILL SEEK NATIONAL FUNDING TO SUPPORT THE CORE OF OUR MISSION AS AN INSTITUTION, NOT MERELY ISOLATED PROJECTS. SIMILAR TO SYMPHONIES, OPERAS, BALLETS AND OTHER PERFORMING ARTS ORGANIZATIONS, SLFS IS FUNDED BY A COMBINATION OF PATRON TICKET REVENUES, A COMMUNITY BASE OF DONORS, PUBLIC FUNDING, MEMBERSHIPS, IN-KIND, AND PRIVATE FOUNDATION GRANTS. BECAUSE OF THIS FISCAL FOUNDATION, WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO RESPOND QUICKLY TO CHALLENGES AND HAVE POTENTIAL FOR CONTINUED GROWTH AS WE JOIN FORCES WITH MORE COMMUNITY PARTNERS. OUR BUDGETS ARE DIVERSIFIED, BECAUSE THEY MUST BE TO PROVIDE FOR OUR MISSION. LIKE THE LEGACY ARTS, TICKET REVENUES ALONE ABSOLUTELY DO NOT SUPPORT OUR CULTURAL, ARTIST AND EDUCATION PROGRAMS, OF WHICH IT IS OUR MISSION TO EXPAND AND FOSTER. AS A DIRECT RESULT OF: INCREASING PRESENTING ROYALTIES; CHANGING LANDSCAPES IN TECHNOLOGY; AND PRIMARY FIXED COSTS OF OPERATING PRESENTING FILM VENUES, TICKET REVENUES CANNOT FUND OUR INSTITUTION'S EDUCATIONAL, LOW-INCOME ACCESS AND FILM FOSTERING PROGRAMS. ROYALTY FEES HAVE INCREASED 64% IN THE LAST THREE YEARS, WHILE OPERATING A PRESENTING VENUE HAS INCREASED 63%. THIS INDUSTRY-WIDE TREND THREATENS COMMUNITY-BASED MISSION-DRIVEN ART HOUSES THAT PROVIDE ACCESS AND FULFILL A MISSION FOR CINEMA IN THEIR CITIES. WE ARE GROWING THE NEWEST SECTOR OF THE ARTS THROUGH OUR MISSION AND STRATEGIES TO FURTHER THE CONVERSATION ABOUT OUR PLACE IN CULTURE. SIMILAR TO OTHER ART DISCIPLINES, ROYALTIES AND CONSUMER EXPECTATIONS OUT-WEIGH THE MARKET CAPACITY TO RAISE TICKET PRICES IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH MISSION-BASED PR
