27th Annual James River Film Fest Cancelled
Due to current and unprecedented circumstances we regret having to cancel our programs for the 27th James River Film Festival, March 18-22.
Cinema should pull people together and that's been our aim since '94, but maybe not this year. We plan to revive some of the events in the coming months at various venues so stay tuned.
stay healthy and thanks for your support.
We hope to see you soon,
JRFF Committee
