About

DIGITAL ARTS, FILM & TELEVISION (DAFT) is a non-profit media-arts educational organization. Our primary mission is to promote media literacy through the creative use of film and video. DAFT does this by conducting workshops and conferences for teachers, and media professionals. DAFT has been providing services to its members and the state of Michigan since 1969.

We provide support for emerging media artists and actively develop student involvement in media arts and studies through our annual statewide film festival, The Michigan Student Film & Video Festival, scholarships and special workshops. DAFT’s work in the media arts depends on the efforts of volunteers and the financial support of our membership and the business community. All contributions are tax-deductible to the extent provided by law.
