non-profit organizations; knowledge of film and video technology.

The CFS is a non-profit, grassroots media arts organization that seeks to

artistic appreciation. The excellence of our culturally-diverse
programming has been well-recognized and well-supported in the region.
Our goal now is to become a recognized community center for media arts
education, building on our existing programs and creating new programs in
conjunction with area elementary, secondary, and college-level
organizations. With an annual budget of $160,000, the CFS operates the
Nickelodeon Theatre and sponsors a variety of education programs, including
visiting media artists, community forums about social issues raised by
films and videos, and courses in media production (www.nickelodeon.org).

Located in downtown Columbia, SC, the Nickelodeon Theatre is one block from
both the University of South Carolina and the state capitol building,
making it an important hub of the cultural life of the city, state, and

Cohen, Heather McAdams, Tim Kirkman, David Simpson, Wilbert Rideau, among
others) and is part of the Southern Circuit Film series, which showcases

Institute, community forums, festivals, and other activities. CFS and its
theater have active working relationships with the SC Arts Commission,
University of South Carolina faculty and students, local businesses, Bravo
and Time-Warner Cable, grant foundations, and other organizations. The
Nickelodeon also hosted the Library of Congress National Film Preservation
Tour in 1999.

Salary starts at $11,000-12,000 for a part-time position (additional hours
