Earlier this spring we initiated the creation of the New England Film Festival Alliance (NEFFA) with our sister festivals of Woods Hole and Martha's Vineyard. This Alliance brings the sponsorship of three festivals in one simplified transaction, offering an even larger audience, more film and year-round opportunities.
For the first time in film festival history a corporate sponsor can economize their sponsorship dollar and expand their reach within the region of New England. NEFFA has put together a sponsorship package that provides significant visibility among attendees and media through and throughout their partnership.
The New England Film Festival Alliance brings together three film festivals in New England; Martha’s Vineyard, Woods Hole and the entire state of Rhode Island with the opportunity to reach 40,000 affluent and educated people annually who align themselves with the celebrities, artists, the art of film making and the lifestyle of these destinations. We attract the beauties, the hunks, the comics, the legends...the most cutting edge of talent. One festival is accredited by the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences, Movie Maker Magazine name another festival the top 25 coolest film festivals of 2009 and this internationally renowned vacation destination has attracted numerous American Presidents, world dignitaries and intellectuals of all types.
The New England Film Festival Alliance looks forward to growing throughout New England in the years to come.

Make a PSA in 7 Days and help a
Non-Profit Organization
A FLICKERS Creative Impulse Award Competition
The Rhode Island International Film Festival Announces the Beginning of a New National Filmmaking Competition.
The “Seven Day PSA” Competition (7DAYPSA) was conceived by Duncan B. Putney, an Emmy winning writer and the creative producer of Original Concept & Development Associates (www.OCDA.biz). The purpose of this new competition is to challenge local filmmakers to use their skills and energy to meet a major need of local non-profit organizations. This will provide the filmmakers not only a great experience and a good feeling about helping others in their community, but also a broadcast credit for their resumes--something that the organizers have arranged through various sponsorships and commitments. The competition is designed to help area non-profits who cannot afford marketing and promotional expenses to share their mission with the general public by providing a pool of talent to make that a reality. The PSA competition was created specifically to create a bridge between artists/filmmakers and the non-profit community.
This national competition has been created by the non-profit Flicker’s: Rhode Island International Film Festival’s Creative Impulse Awards, which promotes excellence in marketing, advertising and talent.
Join the conversation at our popular webportal for filmmakers:
Documentary Tech is a collaborative effort to talk about what makes for the best in the art of
the documentary. As a joint project by Flickers and The Rhode Island International Film Festival and several sponsoring universities, we'll talk about technique, technology, distribution and funding.
