The Southwest Alternate Media Project (SWAMP) is a non profit media arts organization based in Houston, Texas. Established in 1977, SWAMP's mission is to promote the creation and appreciation of film, video, and new media as art forms of a multicultural community.〔 "SWAMP focuses much of its attention on educational programs, including workshops, moviemaking camps and the Media Literacy Institute."〔 The Southwest Alternate Media Project was a co-sponsor of Houston Film Critics Society Awards 2010 and has provided production support for several notable feature films, including ''Last Night at the Alamo''. SWAMP also recognized and supported the work of now noted filmmakers Richard Linklater, Robert Rodriguez, and Jane Campion.〔 SWAMP was recognized and thanked for its assistance in the credits of three movies, ''Interface'' (1985) directed by Andy Anderson, ''Slacker'' (1991) directed by Richard Linklater, and ''Hannah and the Dog Ghost'' (1981) directed by Ken Harrison.〔 SWAMP's current executive director Mary Lampe says, "As SWAMP enters its 35th year, the goals are to review and re-evaluate the programs and to embrace new technology and tools."〔 ==History== Incorporated as a non-profit media arts center in 1977, SWAMP promotes film, video, and new media through education, information, and presentation activities for all ages.〔 Through the vision of filmmaker and educator James Blue, with founding director Ed Hugetz and the initial financial support of Houston philanthropists John and Dominique de Menil, SWAMP became the first Texas independent nonprofit organization for the "citizen filmmaker".〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Southwest Alternate Media Project」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
