Our aim is to give audiences in the Triangle region of North Carolina and across the Southeastern U.S. access to media artwork that expands our idea of what film is and what it can be. The Cosmic Rays Foundation is a 501c3 organization that presents the annual Cosmic Rays Film Festival. Our mission is to support and celebrate experimental films and digital media art created by regional national and global media artists; and to provide a venue in Orange County where a diverse range of audiences can have access to this vital and expanding area of the arts. During our 6th edition held from March 1-3 2024 approximately 300 people attended our 3 day film festival including the screenings held at the Chelsea Theater in Chapel Hill NC and our live-cinema program at Fatwood Studio in Carrboro NC. In addition to programming two and half days of cinema art selected from over 400 submissions from around North Carolina and the world Cosmic Rays also regularly invites distinguished film programmers and visiting filmmakers. This past year we invited Lydia Greer and Madison Brookshire to do live audiovisual performances as part of our Live Cinema night. Lydia Greer performed "Facing West Shadows: The Endless End" an animated cinematic shadow play that illuminates the perpetuation of extinction and survival as a result of climate change. Madison Brookshire presented a suite of two performances with 16mm film projectors and a harmonium. His minimalist and meditative cinema work is about spatial resonance and perceptual illusions. Since 2022 we have also created the Cosmic Rays Touring Festival. Each year we select films from the past festival and create a traveling program. By partnering with screening venues across the country we are able to reach even more audiences promote our festival's work and raise the profile of North Carolina artists' cinema. Our 2023-24 tour included screenings at Union Docs in New York City; the UW Union Cinema in Milwaukee WI; Experimental response Cinema in Austin TX; and Other Cinema in San Francisco CA. 5728 8692 8692 Sabine Gruffat CEO 12.5 2250 0 0 William Brown President 12.5 1000 0 0 Kathie Roberts Director 12.5 0 0 0 false false false false false 0 false false false false NC William Brown 964 High House Rd Unit 4311 Cary NC 27513 9842910316 false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 0 0 2000 20678 4446 27124 0 0 1834 2285 5424 9543 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3834 22963 9870 36667 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 36667 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3834 22963 9870 36667 X Part III Line 1 Part-III-column-d-covers-the-short-year-beginning-1 1 23-thru-6 30 23-due-to-a-change-of-accounting-year.
