Held annually since 1994, the festival has staged more than 270 workshops, screenings, and seminars. In addition, the program includes retrospectives; film performances with live, original music; and a juried competition of short films. During the festival screening of the juried competition finalists, JRFF awards up to $2,000 in cash and prizes – another way RMIC supports and stimulates independent filmmaking.
