New England’s Premiere Showcase for Independent Film For well over a decade, the Flickers: Rhode Island International Film Festival has brought the vibrant world of international and independent cinema to Rhode Island. Starting life as a small arts and culture festival in Rhode Island’s Blackstone Valley, RIIFF has grown over the years into the largest film festival in New England, and one of the country’s premiere showcases for independent film. This year, over 200 films, culled from a record 4,700 submissions, will be screened in venues throughout the state. And as a first-stop destination for filmmakers across the globe, this year’s festival will be presenting 28 World and 26 North American Premieres. International Scope and Aesthetic Diversity As a premiere showcase for Independent Film, RIIFF takes great pride in the broad diversity of its line-up. This year, the festival will showcase work by filmmakers from over 50 different countries, and representing a wide variety of different genres and formats, from Feature-length Narratives and Documentaries, to Short Films, Animations and Experimental fare. And the festival will highlight a number of special Sidebar presentations, including: short films from Quebec, Jewish Films, films with GLBT-related themes and several packages of short films with distinct narratives that explore the world we live in from all kinds of perspectives. There is truly something for everyone at RIIFF, which takes pride in offering filmgoers the opportunity to take in the very broadest scope of what the international, independent film world has to offer. Industry Plaudits Indeed, given the incredible breadth and undeniable quality of its annual programming, RIIFF has long been recognized within the industry as one of the country’s top independent film festivals. Moviemaker Magazine (April 2007) has declared RIIFF one of the "25 Film Festivals Worth the Price of Admission" and it has been ranked as one of the top 12 film festivals internationally. However, our true claim-to-fame is the festival’s designation as New England’s only Academy Award-Qualifying film festival, making RIIFF one of only 65 film festivals in the world to have this honor. Each year, the festival sends its top short film to the Academy to be officially considered for the Best Short Film Oscar. Over the festival’s 15-year run, 21 of its films have been nominated and 6 have won. So as you attend screenings and participate in filmmaker Q&As, keep your eyes peeled – you just might be watching the winner of next year’s Academy Award! Cultivating a Film Community Of course, RIIFF is about more than industry honors and designations. Our main goal has always been to help cultivate what is already a growing and passionate film community within Rhode Island. As such, our screenings are complimented by a host of activities geared towards bringing local filmmakers, students and fans together with the bevy of international and independent filmmakers who attend the festival each year. Throughout the festival week RIIFF will host a variety of gala parties, intimate receptions, educational workshops and networking events. Most of these are open to the public and all will be attended by many of the over 200 international filmmakers the festival attracts each year. So be sure to take advantage of these opportunities! Every year RIIFF creates a complete “festival experience” for Rhode Islanders, bringing the international film community and the local community together. Educational Outreach It is crucial to point out that the festival experience offered by RIIFF extends to area students, as well. Film education is one of our most cherished goals. Each summer, RIIFF runs the popular KidsEye™ Summer Filmmaking Camp for students ages 8-16, now in its 14th year. Many of these students will attend the KidsEye™ International Film Festival, a special program of kid-oriented independent films shown during the main festival. And while attending the festival you may bump into members of our High School Student Jury Program as they hustle in and out of screenings and debate the latest film. Through programs such as these, RIIFF creates a space for the next generation of filmmakers, critics and fans to discover the world of independent film for the first time. Discover the New Voices of Independent Film! So whether you are a filmmaker or a film buff, a hardened film professional or an eager film student; get your tickets and take in all that the 16th Annual Flickers: Rhode Island International Film Festival has to offer. Our loyal and committed, top-notch staff has worked tirelessly to expand and strengthen this year’s programming and provide audiences with what will undoubtedly be an unforgettable cinematic experience. Join us as we continue on with our mission to discover the new voices of independent film!

2012 Festival Dedication THE GREATEST GENERATION: Celebrating Two Men Who Represented Our Better Angels
This year’s festival is dedicated to two World War II Navy veterans that have had an impact on this festival Bruce W. Putney (1925 to 2012) was the father of FLICKERS board member Duncan B.Putney. Bruce was a US Navy fighter pilot and R.C.A.F. pilot during WW2. He was the inspiration for the short film "HALF PINT." But sadly, Bruce passed away just a week before principal photography began on the film at the end of May. Although Bruce served as a fighter pilot in WW2, he embodies the Navy motto: “A Global Force For Good.” He does so not only as a WW2 fighter pilot who fought for the good of the world but because he was a lover of the arts; encouraging and supportive of his son's career path of being a professional actor, screenwriter, and filmmaker. He also passed on to Duncan tradition of volunteering. This foundation has brought Duncan to the festival to create the Emmy award winning FLICKERS 7DayPSA competition, the Spotlight On Rhode Island Screenwriting Competition, his short film “HALF PINT” and more. Ernest Borgnine (1917-2012), the son of an Italian countess, was born Ermes Effron Borgnino in Hamden, Conn. He has appeared in 199 movies, including “From Here to Eternity,” “Bad Day at Black Rock,” “The Dirty Dozen,” “The Wild Bunch” and “The Poseidon Adventure.” His latest is the 2009 film “Another Harvest Moon.” He won the 1955 best actor Academy Award for his performance as a lovelorn butcher in the film “Marty” despite competition from other notable actors such as Frank Sinatra, and is better known to a later generation of television viewers as the PT-boat skipper on “McHale’s Navy.” He received a Lifetime Achievement award at the 2009 Rhode Island International Film Festival. He was such an amazingly accomplished actor; we were deeply honored to have him participate in the 2009 event. His work touched millions and set new standards; becoming a vibrant and critical part of the American experience.
