The RI International Horror Film Festival comes to the Roger Williams University (RWU) campus on Friday, October 18th with a ghoulish presentation.

 

Horror and sci-fi films fans will want to be at the Mary Tefft White Cultural Center, located at the University Library at Roger Williams University in Bristol for a behind-the-scenes look at what goes into making a horror and sci-fi fantasy film. The Forum is being presented on campus by the RWU Film Production Club and is a free event. The full Festival runs October 17-20th at locations across the state.

 

This free forum begins at 10:00 a.m. and provides audiences with the opportunity to meet some of the movers and shakers in the film, horror and sci-fi production scene.

 

Rhode Island has become known as the Independent state for film. Starting with the foundation provided by the film and media programs at our colleges and universities, and the unique talent base of creative artists who have made their homes here, the Ocean State has built a reputation as a one-stop film studio.

 

Among such notable filmmakers as Wes Anderson and the Farrelly Brothers, who have made their films within the Ocean State, the independent horror and sci-fi fantasy genre is steadily becoming an industry standard for RI’s film community.

 

“Behind the Camera Lens,” will showcase Steven Feinberg (“Fortress,” “Peter York,” “Pell Grants: A Passion for Education,) Executive Director of the Rhode Island Film & Television Office, the man behind the state’s high profile within the industry, and filmmaking professionals who have successfully made careers within the industry. Panelists include: Patricia Chica (“La promesse,” “Day Before Yesterday,” “Ceramic Tango,”) an internationally renowned independent filmmaker from Montreal, whose work has received countless awards with the Rhode Island International Film Festival (RIIFF) and other major film festivals worldwide; and, Rhode Island-filmmakers, Anthony Ambrosino and Nick Delmenico whose low-budget horror film, “ALMOST HUMAN” just screened at the Toronto Film Festival and was picked up by IFC Midnight. Serving as hosts for the forum will be Shawn Quirk, Programming Director at RIIFF and Nick Palermo, President of RWU Film Production Club.

 

Please be sure to register in advance as seating is limited.
