THE
FLICKERS
MISSION
Flickers offers an artistic exchange as well as opportunities for the global creative community that are not available in the established entertainment industry.
It is designed to foster contact among film directors, artists, producers, distributors, backers and audiences.
Filmmakers will have an opportunity to share new film product, test-market films in development, and share the film-making process with industry peers, students, and the general public.
Thanks to the strong and visionary support of its lead sponsors, the Festival has been able to expand its offerings and include a broad range of film-related programming such as:
KidsEye
Intensive and fun five-day summer workshop that exposes young people to the basic elements of the filmmaking process.
Rhode Island Film Forum
Designed to provide a networking platform, spur dialogue and get answers to your questions from those who make decisions.
ScriptBIz
Day-long workshop that explores how to hone your creative and business skills
Rhode Island Film Forum
Designed to provide a networking platform, spur dialogue and get answers to your questions from those who make decisions.
