MOCA Tucson believes in the power of art to connect and inspire. In this spirit, we have developed several free programs to offer during this time of social distancing that celebrate the talents of Tucson’s creative community and offer ways to stay engaged with the Museum from home.
5 Minute Film Fest
5MFF celebrates the creativity of artists making film and video in Arizona. AZ residents were invited to submit their video art––clocking in at 5 minutes or under––to our juried, short-form, online festival. The 1st, 2nd & 3rd place winners will receive a cash prize thanks to the our event partner The UA Hanson FilmTV Institute.
Activities
