FLICKER’S 10TH ANNIVERSARY: ATTACK OF 50 FT. REELS! (Approx. 2 hrs.)
7:30 p.m., The Firehouse Theatre
Admission $5
During the first year of the Richmond Flicker (1997-1998), founder James Parrish heard about the Bentleys, a festival where all the films were made using a Bentley (probably the cheapest Super 8 cameras ever made) and edited in the camera on one cartridge (50 feet) of Super 8 film.

Using that innovative idea as inspiration James launched Flicker’s Attack of the 50-Ft. Reels in 1999 and it’s become an annual event and a community/crowd pleaser. Since then many of the other Flicker fests, notably the L.A. and Chapel Hill chapters, have held their own annual Attack of the 50-Ft. Reels shows in their communities. Tonight’s show celebrates the Richmond Flicker’s 10th anniversary the best way possible – by showing a bunch of new 50-ft. reels from Richmond, L.A., Chapel Hill and elsewhere. Join us for films, food (popcorn and cake!) and fellowship. Happy anniversary Flicker!
