The Human Rights Commission approved a $250 funding request for FilmScene to support a Latin American film series in May. Commissioner Mark Preece moved to approve the request; Commissioner Kelsey Paulshantz seconded the motion and the commission approved the grant by voice vote. "I move that we approve this request," Preece said, and the motion was seconded.
During discussion, Commissioner Paulshantz confirmed she had checked the conflict-of-interest list and found FilmScene was not listed as a conflict for commissioners. Commissioners praised the power of film as a way to communicate experiences and noted FilmScene’s request was modest relative to the event budget. The chair announced the motion carried and confirmed the $250 allocation to FilmScene for the Latin American film festival.
The grant supports a series of roughly four to six films planned for May. No additional conditions or follow-up requirements were recorded in the meeting minutes.
