The MacGillivray Freeman Films Educational Foundation (MFF-ED) is a not-for-profit 501(c) (3) organization established to fund and produce educational giant screen films (more commonly known as IMAX® theatre films) and companion educational programming focusing on science, the environment, world culture and natural heritage locations.
Because of the Foundation’s ties with the world’s largest independent producer of giant screen films, MacGillivray Freeman Films, and some of the industry’s pioneers, no other foundation in the world has this immediate capability to deliver visceral, immersive learning experiences via the powerful giant screen film medium. It is this unique characteristic that sets the Foundation apart and defines its most valuable asset.

MacGillivray Freeman Films Educational Foundation is about more than making films. We’re about learning, teaching, contributing — and making the world a better place. That sounds like a lot, but we’ve found that taking a large-format camera into places most people cannot go paves the way for experiences and knowledge that we otherwise would not have. Now you can do more than watch—you can bring our educational programs into your schools and other institutions, or even join us in the adventure.
In 2007, more than 90% of our expenses were devoted to our programs.
Giant screen films can bring about positive change by powerfully motivating viewers to want to get involved.  These mammoth films are different from any other films because the screen is so large that you feel enveloped by it, you feel pulled in to what’s on the screen as if you are practically there.”
