Dance & Film

AMFA’s Partner Company-in-Residence, Arkansas Cinema Society, believes that if we provide filmmakers an arena to exhibit their talents, and film enthusiasts a healthy diet of quality programming, we can inspire more Arkansans to make and watch more films. By supporting filmmakers, festivals, theaters, and young people interested in filmmaking throughout the state, they hope to create a statewide network, pool Arkansas’s resources, and be an umbrella organization that feeds all things film.

AMFA’s Partner Company-in-Residence, Ballet Arkansas, is ranked among the top 100 ballet companies in America by the Dance Data Project. Over the course of its 44-year history, Ballet Arkansas’s world-class programming has touched the lives of nearly half a million Arkansans. Under the visionary leadership of Michael and Catherine Fothergill, Ballet Arkansas employs a diverse professional company of 15 dancers from across the nation and presents a vibrant repertory of the classics, masterworks of American dance, and premieres by the world’s most daring dance-makers.
