In addition to the above programming, MHCA, during its first five years in Wilmington, also included a fall weekend of silent films, usually with piano accompaniment, to foster an appreciation for this art form, as well as an art show, in which area visual artists would display and sell their paintings, sculptures, and other wares. In August, 2012, MHCA purchased a recently closed and about-to-be-auctioned movie theater in West Dover, VT, with the goal of establishing a home for the arts. The members of the Board of MHCA, as long-time residents of the area, were aware that this theater, as From April 1, 2022, through March 31, 2023, MHCA presented thirty-one different films through a combination of matinee and evening shows that totaled 370 screenings for the year. These films included first-run mainstream selections, as well as indie and art films of limited release, such as documentaries, biographies, and those based on books, history and art. The film industry in terms of number of releases and the audiences that attend films are both slowly recovering from the COVID pandemic. With fewer releases available when compared to pre-pandemic, MHCA opted to hold films longer. MHCA is experiencing the same as other theatres, fewer films available and a decrease in patron attendance. It is hoped that these present effects of the COVID pandemic is a temporary phenomenon. The live-performing Village Light Opera Group opted to not return to the area, unfortunately. However, MHCA did support the August Dulcimer Daze Festival in their live performance at Wilmingtons Memorial Hall. During the period, MHCA expanded the number of Special Events presented through film, utilizing the excellent 4K Sony projector and Dolby surround sound. On Sunday, September 25, MHCA brought The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, a recorded and filmed ballet from Zurich, Switzerland, in 4K ultra-high definition. This high-quality production featured the Zurich Philharmonia, Ballet Zurich and the Junior Ballet. On March 26, 2023, MHCA joined six other venues in Vermont participating in the Middlebury New Filmmakers Festival (MNFF) Vermont Tour 2023. The Festival is promoted, organized and presented each year in Middlebury, Vermont, in August, by a 501(c)(3) organization. During the winter, the two most highly-acclaimed films are presented at a limited number of venues in Vermont. MHCAs participation in the MNFF Vermont Tour serves to support the art of filmmaking and the work of the organizing 501(c)(3), as well as exposing the local community to vetted and acclaimed indie films. Lastly, MHCA, on Wednesday, March 29, screened Vietnam: Through My Lens, a film of a stage play of the same name currently touring the United States. The screening was presented free to the public as a community service, being deemed valuable to the many veterans and their families who reside in the area, as well as serving as an educational experience for the community. 103303 103303 Daniel Facilla Chairman 50.00 0 Edwin M Wilson Vice Chair 0 0 Linda Hughes Secretary/Treas 3.00 0 Robert Ruhl Director 0 0 false false false false false false true 355560 0 0 0 false 0 0 false Daniel Facilla 4 Mountain Park Plaza West Dover VT 05356 8024648541 false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 24661 28907 55490 47341 31031 187430 0 0 24661 28907 55490 47341 31031 187430 0 187430 12 2 2 16 0 297 646 943 188389 0.99490 0.99850 X Daniel Facilla Chairman Purchase of Building X 355560 355560 false true true 355560 Other Expenses.1001 Advertising and Promotion $836 Other Expenses.1002 Office Expenses $1251 Other Expenses.1008 Interest $7070 Other Expenses.1009 Depreciation $18305 Other Expenses.1012 Insurance $8991 Other Expenses.1 Film rental fees $23621 Other Expenses.2 Association Fees $8528 Other Expenses.3 Direct cost of event sales $5405 Other Expenses.4 Phone / internet $1908 Other Expenses.5 Service Charges $1859 Other Expenses.6 Storage $1080 Other Expenses.7 Dues and subscriptions $265 Other Expenses.8 Supplies $101 Other Expenses.9 Miscellaneous $73 Other Assets.1003 Machinery and Equipment - Beginning $11621 Machinery and Equipment - Ending $4157 Other Assets.1004 Miscellaneous - Beginning $9232 Miscellaneous - Ending $9232 Total Liabilities.1006 Payable to Officers, Directors, Etc. - Beginning $355560 Payable to Officers, Directors, Etc. - Ending $355560 Total Liabilities.1 Due to Holland Fund - Beginning $1240 Due to Holland Fund - Ending $1240 Total Liabilities.2 - Beginning $0 - Ending $0
