In May 2024, MIF sponsored the publication of a book focused on the rich history and cultural significance of Amchit's theatre. This project was driven by MIF’s ongoing commitment to fostering local development through initiatives that promote cultural preservation, community engagement, and socio-economic growth.

The book serves as an invaluable tool to safeguard the theatre's historical legacy, highlighting its role in Amchit’s cultural fabric over the years. It documents the theatre’s past performances and significance and promotes its continued relevance as a cultural landmark in the region. Through this publication, MIF aims to spark renewed interest in the theatre, encouraging both residents and visitors to participate in its programs and activities. By increasing attendance and increasing community involvement, the project contributes to the revitalization of local cultural life, ensuring that the theatre remains a vibrant space for artistic expression and social connection.

As part of its commitment to socio-economic growth, MIF recognizes that cultural projects have a profound impact on a community's economy by stimulating tourism, supporting local artists, and creating job opportunities related to the theatre’s operations. Additionally, by preserving and promoting Amchit's cultural heritage, MIF is contributing to the social and educational development of the region, enriching the lives of residents and providing opportunities for both artistic and personal growth
