This popular yearly VMFA tradition spotlights the best, most current short videos/films (20 minutes or less). Finalists are selected from an international selection of entrants. A special guest judge chooses the top films at the screening and awards approx. $2000 in cash prizes. Many filmmakers will be present for Q&A plus the audience gets to vote for favorites. This is the oldest juried film competition in Virginia.
Since 1994, the James River Film Society has been a volunteer-run, nonprofit dedicated to the art of film and film as art. jamesriver¬film.org
