The FLICKERS: RI International Horror Film Festival is a salute to what is an often-overlooked genre that will include a bevy of World and U.S. premiers of short, feature-length and documentary films. In all 56 films have been selected from 521 submissions and include works from 20 countries, including the United Kingdom, Australia, Ireland, Belgium, Canada, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, Japan, Chile, Switzerland, and the United States. Many of the filmmakers will be in attendance, so audience members will have a chance to meet, ask questions, and even network with the next generation of horror-auteurs.
Founded in 2000, as one of several "festival sidebars" of the Rhode Island International Film Festival, it is largest and longest-running horror film festival in New England.
