Archive, the Tate Modern (London) and the Centre George
Pompidou (Paris) . Media City has also introduced dozens of
emerging filmmakers and artists to the world stage, many
of whom have gone on to win major awards including the
Palme d'Or at Cannes and other prestigious accolades.
Locally, Media City has cultivated a dedicated community
of volunteers and partners at the grass-roots and institutional
level on both sides of the border. We have collaborated with
organizations such as the Detroit Institute of Arts, University of
Windsor, the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit, The Art
Gallery of Windsor, Imagination Station and many others.
