    Maryland Film Festival Director of Development The Maryland Film Festival (MdFF) seeks a seasoned Director of Development to create and implement the fund development strategy and plans to maximize contributed revenue from individuals, corporations, foundations and government sources. The mission of the Maryland Film Festival (MdFF) is to bring films, filmmakers, and audiences together in a friendly, inclusive atmosphere that reflects the unique aspects of our community, while participating in and adding to the larger film dialogue across the country and across the world. Film for Everyone. In the fall of 2018 MdFF adopted a five-year plan to fully realize its role in Baltimore and the field as a respite for filmmakers, a world-class destination for cinema, and a stalwart advocate for the democratizing the power of story, as told through film, and expressed through each individual storyteller’s voice. The SNF Parkway functions as a multi-disciplinary film, community, and education hub serving a broad cross- section of the Baltimore public and beyond. MdFF leverages the powerful assets of the Johns Hopkins University, Maryland Institute College of Art and surrounding campus communities to function as a vibrant, regional nerve center for dialogue, discussion, and debate on the key issues of the day, with film as the central axis in broad public discussions. Through programming, education and community ventures, MdFF is establishing a year-round a platform for all voices that are reflective of the diverse population of greater Baltimore and the nation. The five-year strategic plan has recently been extended through 2025 with a revised model season to account for online screenings, hybrid programming, and the return of in-person movie-watching at the SNF Parkway.

  • Second Place 2010 Abell Award in Urban Policy
    Second Place 2010 Abell Award in Urban Policy MARYLAND ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICTS: A PROCESS EVALUATION AND CASE STUDY OF BALTIMORE Cailin McGough Paul Messino Johns Hopkins University Institute for Policy Studies Masters in Public Policy Program The Abell Award in Urban Policy is presented annually to the student who writes the most compelling paper on a pressing problem facing the City of Baltimore and feasible strategies for addressing it. This award is co-sponsored by The Abell Foundation and the Johns Hopkins Institute for Policy Studies. Acknowledgments This research grew from the prior analysis we conducted as part of the 2008 Fall Baltimore Policy Project at John Hopkins University’s Institute for Policy Studies. We gathered subsequent interviews, observation and research for this paper through May 2010. We would like to thank Dr. Sandra Newman for the impetus to investigate the revitalization taking place in Station North and for her continued support. In addition, Dr. Curtis Ventriss provided insight that guided our research and Bonnie Wittstadt of John Hopkins University’s Milton S. Eisenhower Library aided us in the creation of A&E district maps. We would also like to thank David Bielenberg of Station North Arts and Entertainment Inc., Chris Ryer and Hillary Chester of Southeast Community Development Corporation, and all of the artists, residents, business owners and other stakeholders in Baltimore’s A&E districts who contributed to this report. Pamela Dunne of the Maryland State Arts Council and Jesse Rye of the National Assembly of State Arts Agencies provided valuable background information. We want to emphasize that this analysis is not meant to evaluate the program's impact or assess district "success." Rather, our scope is limited to the design of tax credits and the extent to which they are being used, with findings based on available data and interviews focusing on Baltimore's districts.

  • SIGNED ARTICLES Aberbach, Moses, "The Early German Jews of Baltimore," XXXV (1972), 27-36
    A CHECK LIST OF ARTICLES PUBLISHED IN THE REPORTS OF THE SOCIETY FOR THE HISTORY OF THE GERMANS IN MARYLAND, 1886-1982 Compiled by William T. Snyder For almost a century the Society for the History of the Germans in Mary- land has published Reports. What began as a series of annual reports in the early years turned into a scholarly publication issued at irregular intervals. A glance at the articles in this check list will convey to any reader the scope of the material presented. Over the years virtually all facets of German American studies have found their expression in the thirty-eight volumes covered. In- itially, in 1972, this compiler began to prepare a subject index as well but the majority of titles contains enough information for the researcher to select items for specific purposes. Such an index would have become an undertaking well, beyond the scope of usefulness. The Society for the History of the Germans in Maryland has never been self-serving. From the beginning it has endeavored to present German American material in a form that would ultimately permit scholars and laymen unfamiliar with the German language to utilize such in- formation and incorporate it into the history of the American people as a whole. A name and subject index exists for all Reports published until 1939. En- titled "Index to Publications of the Historical Society," it appeared in Report XXIV (1939), pp. 67-72. It should be consulted by those who want to make use of certain materials in the earlier Reports which was contained in a few articles written in the German language.
