From the latest cinematic release by seasoned directors to film work created by aspiring young artists, membership in CinemaRI gives you the opportunity to see that work first.
As the Rhode Island International Film Festival has grown, it has established and nurtured ties with film professionals around the world. In 2008, the Festival received over 3,000 film titles in competition and 191 out of competition. Films came from over 60 countries. Along with work coming from film schools such as USC, UCLA, NYU, Columbia, Florida State, Vancouver, North Carolina, Calgary, Cal Arts, Chapman University, etc., the Festival has also received work from IFC, New Zealand Film Commission, Magnolia Pictures.ThinkFilms, KillerFilms, Disney Animation, HBO, Magic Lamp, Moxie Films, and many many more.
Most people do not realize that about 95% of the Festival is built from the entries and not from material we curate from other festivals. Our goal has long been discovery and providing a platform for new films and filmmakers to be found.
Membership in CinemaRI has a host of benefits, not the least being having the opportunity to pre-screen, judge and and even help select films that will screen during RIIFF--or one of our year-round side-bar events.
During the Film Festival, CinemaRI members save on festival tickets and merchandise. Throughout the year, our members are treated to numerous events and films. This year, our members will attend special advance preview screenings of First Look Films, meet up-and-coming directors, see cutting edge documentary work at the Roving Eye Festival, and explore work from the various niche sidebars we produce.
