The Inthrive Film Festival is the only juried film festival highlighting the voices and talents of the formerly incarcerated.
The Inthrive Film Festival is open to both short and long form submissions of scripted and documentary films. The only requirement is that the film must include the talents of someone who has been incarcerated. This can include acting, directing, screenwriting, cinematography, and other prominent roles.
The inaugural Inthrive Film Festival will be held at 1st Baptist Church on Monument Ave in Richmond, Virginia, on October 14. It will be an afternoon of films and panels discussing the strengths and talents of those previously incarcerated as well as the barriers they face and how we can overcome them.
The leadership of Inthrive Film Festival are all justice impacted and are excited to be able to amplify the skills and talents of those previously incarcerated so others can see their talents.
