SLFS HAS THE LARGEST AUDIENCE, LARGEST MEMBERSHIP, AND LARGEST COMMUNITY SERVICES-BASED PROGRAM FOR FILM ARTS IN SALT LAKE COUNTY. SLFS DELIVERS SOCIALLY RELEVANT, DIVERSE, QUALITY FILM AND COMMUNITY CULTURAL PROGRAMS TO PEOPLE FROM ACROSS THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC CONTINUUM BY PRESENTING FIRST RUN INDEPENDENT, DOCUMENTARY, INTERNATIONAL, HISTORIC, AND LOCALLY PRODUCED CINEMA OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY IN TWO VENUES OPERATING SEVEN SCREENS. IN 2015, 250 FILM TITLES SCREENED AT OUR VENUE, 90% OF WHICH WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SHOWN ANYWHERE ELSE IN UTAH IF NOT FOR OUR PROGRAMMING. IN ADDITION TO THE IMPRESSIVE QUALITY OF SLFS PROGRAMMING, SLFS VENUES ARE THE CORNERSTONE OF THEIR RESPECTIVE NEIGHBORHOODS. BOTH THE BROADWAY CENTRE AND TOWER THEATER ARE MUCH LOVED BY THE COMMUNITIES THEY SERVE. EVERYONE IN THE COUNTY HAS A TOWER THEATER STORY TO TELL, WHETHER IT'S ABOUT COMING TO THE THEATER AS A CHILD OR GOING TO ONE OF OUR LATE NIGHT REPERTORY TITLES OF FAMILY FRIENDLY SING-A-LONGS, GOING TO THE MOVIES AT THE TOWER IS A UTAH TRADITION. SLFS VENUES NOT ONLY PRESENT CURATORIAL, HIGH QUALITY, UNIQUE AND ARTISTICALLY ACCLAIMED FILMS BUT THEY ALSO CREATE UNIQUE AND IMPORTANT COMMUNITY EXPERIENCES. SLFS PROGRAMMING STRENTHENS COMMUNITY, EDUCATES CITIZENS, AND INFORMS AUDIENCES OF ALL AGES AND CULTURES BY BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER TO SHARE THE COMMON EXPERIENCE OF FILM IN A REAL THEATER. NO ALTERNATIVE FORM OF FILM VIEWING CAN DUPLICATE THE MAGIC OF SITTING IN THE PUBLIC THEATER WITH FRIENDS, FAMILY, AND NEIGHBORS TO WATCH A MUCH- ANTICIPATED GREAT STORY UNFOLD ON THE BIG SCREEN. SLFS FOSTERS A FILM EXPREIENCE THAT HAS ADDITIVE VALUE BY MOTIVATING AUDIENCES TO REGULARLY EMERGE FROM THEIR HOMES TO COMMUNE WITH NEIGHBORS IN A PUBLIC ENVIRONMENT WHERE IDEAS, CULTURE, AND ENTERTAINMENT ARE SHARED THROUGH THE VISION OF CINEMA ARTISTS PAST AND PRESENT. TRUE TO ITS MISSION TO EDUCATE, ADVOCATE, AND INFORM ABOUT AND THROUGH CINEMA, SLFS FOSTERS FILM VIEWING AND FILM MAKING AS CRUCIAL COMPONENTS OF MEDIA LITERACY AND ENCHANCES THE ABILITY OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC TO UNDERSTAND VISUAL STORYTELLING. MEDIA LITERACY IS QUICKLY BECOMING AN ESSENTIAL SKILL THAT CITIZENS OF ALL AGES LIVING IN THE WORLD OF TECHNOLOGY MUST ACQUIRE. THAT IS WHY SLFS OFFERS PROGRAMS LIKE LOCAL OPEN SCREEN NIGHT FOR YOUNG FILMMAKERS PROVIDING THEM WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW THEIR WORK ON THE BIG SCREEN AND GET AUDIENCE FEEDBACK. SLFS ALSO RUNS UTAH SCREENWRITERS PROJECT, A YEAR-LONG PROGRAM THAT BRINGS FILM PROFESSIONALS TO THE COUNTY TO WORK WITH LOCAL WRITERS. IN 2012, THIS PROGRAM WAS AWARDED A GRANT FROM THE PRESTIGIOUS ACADEMY OF MOTION PICTURE ARTS AND SCIENCES. SLFS BELIEVES THAT FILM IS ONE OF THE MOST ACCESSIBLE ART FORMS AND RECOGNIZES THAT FILM PRESENTATION IS IN A STRONG POSITION TO ATTRACT AND CULTIVATE NEW AUDIENCES TO THE WORLD OF ART IN GENERAL. THROUGH ITS EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS, REPERTORY FILM SERIES, AND FREE ACCESS TO FILM, SLFS IS ACTIVELY WORKING TO INCREASE AND DIVERSIFY THE NUMBERS AND DEMOGRAPHICS OF CITIZENS ENGAGED IN THE ARTS. SLFS REALIZES THAT IT IS ESPECIALLY CRUCIAL THAT YOUNG PEOPLE BECOME ENGAGED IN THE ARTS AT AN EARLY AGE SO THAT THEY BECOME LIFE LONG SUPPORTERS OF THE ARTS AND UNDERSTAND THE SIGNIFICANT ROLE THAT THE ARTS PLAY IN CREATING A STRONG, HEALTHY, AND LIVABLE COMMUNITY. SLFS IS FUNDED THROUGH TICKET REVENUE, CONCESSION, MEMBERSHIP SUPPORT, HALL RENTAL FEES, GOVERNMENTAL AND FOUNDATION GRANTS, BUSINESS AND CORPORATE SPONSORSHIPS, AND IN-KIND TRADES OF GOODS AND SERVICES.
