Inthrive Film Festival Tour Kick Off: October 1-4, 2026
More Films!
Featuring 24 films made by or featuring the authentic voices and talents of incarceration survivors.
We're challenging the prejudices and preconceptions by creating space to share our stories on our terms for everyone to experience
Film listing coming soon!
More Community!
Films bring us together and we're bringing them throughout Richmond-from Monument Ave to Higland Springs, from VCU to Manchester, from the City Jail to Richmond;s exclusive enclaves-we believe it's important that these stories and the men and women behind them are heard in every community.
More Than Film!
Films are just the begining. Meet community partners and get connected with organizations and artists at our Friday reception and Sunday celebration. Hear from incarceration surivors who are featured in the films and are filmmakers.
