The 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.

In not really now not anymore, Frances Adair Mckenzie weaves a landscape of synthetic warmth and gridded architecture . Moving through the constant hum of containment, the installation treats thermal exhaust as a quiet gravity, an invisible force drawing swarming life toward computational heat.  
  
​A custom animation rig mounted on the ceiling holds a figure suspended in perpetual free fall. A state between weightlessness and collision. A central animated figure speaks directly to a floor-mounted stereoscopic camera, delivering an intimate monologue that navigates the threshold where physical mass is translated into data.  
  
​Through filtered light, malleable skins, and low-fi mechanics, Mckenzie resists the myth of the weightless virtual. The work lingers in the heat of archival depositories, asking what language, trapped memory speaks and what slips away when living forms are held in static preservation.
