Get Involved

The Mary Pickford Institute for Film Education (MPI) was created to serve the public and to increase awareness of Mary Pickford’s legacy of creativity and charity. Her belief in artistic independence and the need to provide opportunities for talent, regardless of gender, ethnicity or economic status is an important part of this legacy.
