From the producer of the Richmond 48 Hour Film Project and creator of the VHSL Film Festival comes the Richmond Film Network Short Film Series. This recurring monthly event seeks innovative short, independent film submissions from diverse cinematic creators for public, theatrical screening in one of the "Best Places to Live and Work as a MovieMaker" [MovieMaker Magazine 2020] and “the #1 Most Artistic Mid-Sized City in America" [Gogobot 2015].
This Series showcases ingenuity—the fresh voices experimenting and creating brilliant work without commercial pressure or restraint, and introduces them to an audience that is likely unfamiliar with them. It’s a way to celebrate the filmmakers, the work and to support the vibrant artistic landscape that already exists in the River City.
This is a boutique experience in the middle of the week where creatives, cinephiles, and general audiences alike can discover independent new works and original storytellers in cinema.
Submissions from women, BIPOC, LGBTQ, and Virginians are especially encouraged.
A slate of films is selected for screening at each event, and each screening is followed by a Q&A with the filmmakers in attendance or guest panelists.
Upcoming Series Event Dates:
November 16, 2022
December 14, 2022
January 18, 2023
February 15, 2023
An award featuring Richmond Film Network official selection laurels is presented to the films selected each month to screen in this exclusive series.
