The Echo Park Film Center is an awesome non-profit microcinema and media arts outreach organization located in Los Angeles, California. They hold several screenings a week, many by local independent and underground filmmakers who are in attendance for Q&A and chatting before and after the films.
EPFC also holds low-cost media-making classes, including instruction on digital editing and Super 8 and 16mm filmmaking and hand-processing. They also hold special workshops on processes like stop-motion animation, pinhole camera making. And, most excitingly, they hold several week-long classes for youths interested in becoming filmmaking.
Plus, there’s the Filmmobile, a traveling cinema and film class venue, which takes their message of filmmaking for the masses to audiences far outside their local Echo Park neighborhood.
If you live in Los Angeles, this is a really amazing place to check out and to see an intimate screening at.
