SUMMARY:31st James River Film Festival: Main Library Screenings
DESCRIPTION:12:30 PM: The Fall of the House of Usher (La Chute de la 
 Masion) (dir: Jean Epstein\, FR\, '28\, 65 min.) This Poe adaptation that 
 incorporates his “The Oval Portrait” with “The Fall...” may be the 
 most atmospheric\, Gothic and entrancing of the silent horrors\, with a 
 subtle dose of Surrealism. Not sur-prising since the Surrealists loved 
 Poe\, including Ass' t. Dir. Luis Bunuel.\n\n\n2:00 PM: Native Land (dir: 
 Paul Strand\, Leo Hurwitz\, US\, '42\, 80 min.) Narrated by 
 African-American actor/activist Paul Robeson\, and produced by the 
 progressive Frontier Film Group\, this powerful docudrama uses 
 reenact-ments of actual incidences of violence against unions\, minorities 
 and activists. More relevant now than ever! In our National Film Registry\, 
 LOC.\n \n\nMore information available here!\n\nThe annual James River Film 
 Festival (JRFF) was established by JRFS co-founder Michael Jones\, along 
 with other Richmond area university faculty members\, media professionals\, 
 and volunteers\, in April 1994. The purpose of the festival is to celebrate 
 and examine the history and continuing contributions of independently 
 produced film and video. Each April the festival brings nationally and 
 internationally known independent filmmakers to Richmond to screen and 
 discuss their work. In 2011\, the festival spun off its annual juried 
 competition for short films (30 minutes or less) into its own festival\, 
 James River Shorts (Now the James River Short Film Showcase). We welcome 
 submissions from around the globe! JRFF awards up to $2\,000 in cash and 
 prizes — another way the James River Film Society supports and stimulates 
 independent filmmaking.
