Calling all filmmakers of the obscure and phantasmagorical: The RIO GRIND FILM FESTIVAL is back and we’re looking for your submissions!

Have your film featured on our historic screen with our enhanced sound system in front of an East Van audience that knows and loves to appreciate the weird, wild, whacky and way-out-there.

The Rio Grind Film Festival is currently accepting for submissions of independent short horror, action, grindhouse, erotica, fantasy, documentary, animation, science fiction, and thrillers and feature docs from both Canada and around the world. We are pleased to present each filmmaking team selected to participate with passes (up to 2) to the entire Fest!
