Our Mission Statement

MFS exists to inspire, educate, and connect community through film and storytelling. The future vision is to become a sustainable, accessible cultural and educational center - a permanent home where audiences, filmmakers, students, volunteers, donors, and community partners gather year-round.

• A destination for curated screenings, conversations, panels, salons, and special events
• A one-of-a-kind educational resource for students and emerging storytellers
• A connector between filmmakers, philanthropists, businesses, educators, and audiences
• A place where families and community members of all ages can experience the arts together, nurturing the next generation of curious, creative minds
• A sustaining cultural legacy for Malibu and the broader region
