Mission: Heartland Film is a nonprofit arts organization founded in 1991 with the mission to inspire filmmakers and audiences through the transformative power of film. Heartland Film is a curator and supporter of purposeful filmmaking, honoring a wide variety of cinema and awarding storytellers from all over the world. The films we select and exhibit – whether they inspire and uplift, educate and inform, or have the ability to shift audiences' perspectives on the world – all have one thing in common: they are entertaining films that do more than just entertain. Heartland Film is comprised of four main program areas: Heartland Film Festival, Truly Moving Picture Award, Heartland Film Roadshow, and Heartland Film Institute. (Less)
