Cinema Rhode Island Membership
The
Backstory:
For over 24 years, the Flickers
Arts Collaborative has produced
and organized film screenings
and exhibitions throughout the State of Rhode Island.
• In 1983 it presented Newport's
first International Film Festival.
• In 1987, it created the award-winning
television series, “Between Takes.”
• Since 1995, it has been producing
the acclaimed and award-winning, Jubilé Franco-Américain.
• In 1996, it created the Rhode
Island International Film Festival (RIIFF) and,
for the past eight years has staged unique presentations
throughout the region including a family-based kids
film festival and a highly successful Hortror Film Festival
in October.
• RIIFF is now an Academy Award Qualifier
in the Short, Live Action Category. This means that
the Grand Prize Film Festival winner in this category
automatically is entered as an Academy of Motion Pictures
Award qualifier. We are the only festival in the New
England that can claim this recognition. We have also
been successfully working with The Columbus Theater
in Providence to assist in the changing of their programming
to cultural, foreign, documentary and other ambitious
endeavors. Our Executive Director, George T. Marshall,
was on the Phoenix List of “Most Influential People”
in the Arts category.
Last year we had a record 19,000 participants
during our festival run. We had 8 sellouts, 236 filmmakers
and celebrities registered and the list goes on.
Flickers is also the presenter of ongoing educative
and generative programs such as
• Screenwriters Salon
• Between Takes Filmmaker’s Forums
• Take 1-2-3: Filmmaking with the Pros
• megaTOON™ & LocalVISIONs™
• KidsEye™, our filmmaking summer camp
for kids
• RI Film Forum
• ScriptBiz™
• The New England Student Film Festival
• "U-Speak" Student PSA Contest
• RI Investment Forum
• The Creative Impulse Awards
• RI Alliance of Film and Media Arts
• The Jubilé Franco-Américain
• Jamestown Chamber Music Series
• The Human Rights Watch Film Festival
• Smithsonian Institute Culture Fest
plus a slew of Festivals that we either created, produce
or support. These include the Providence Film Festival,
the Providence Jewish Film Festival, the Rhode
Island International Horror Film Festival, the
Providence Gay & Lesbian Film Festival, East
West Crosswinds: Exploring Asian Culture Thru Cinema;
the Providence World Film Festival
(with a focus on Latin-American and Third World films
films), Picture Start and the Human Rights
Watch Film Festival.
 The
Pitch:
Flickers has also created Flickers'
Cinema Rhode Island
a membership organization for those who love
film. Flickers’ Cinema
Rhode Island is nonprofit organization devoted
solely and steadfastly to the Film Arts.
Please remember that we are non-profit. Since RIIFF
and Cinema Rhode Island receives limited corporate and
government support, we rely upon private membership
support, events, advertising and ad trades to sustain
and grow our year-round efforts to educate and outreach
filmmakers and film lovers.
As a member of Flickers’ Cinema
Rhode Island, you receive a smorgasbord of
benefits plus the knowledge that (a portion of) your
contribution is tax-deductible through the Flickers
Arts Collaborative.
