Now in its 14th year, FLICKERS: Rhode Island International Film Festival™ (RIIFF) will take place August 10-15, 2010. In its brief life span, the Festival has become a leading juried competition showcase for international independent filmmakers and their work. In 2009, Flickers screened 235 cinematic works in seven days to large and appreciative crowds.

The films screened came from 57 countries, and 32 states in the United States. There were 38 World Premieres and 21 US/North American Premieres. A total of 17 Narrative Features, 71 Documentaries and 147 Short Films were screened. Following months of adjudication and review, Festival films were selected from over 3,400 submissions.

Here is a Promo Spot for Flickers using Lomo Anamorphic Cinemascope lenses with the Red One.  Being my third year on the Board of Directors for the Festival, I am always looking to lend a helping hand. It was a down and dirty quick morning shoot.  The interns for the festival were great, as well as our friend, festival director and producing partner Ron Tippe.
