Red Rose Film Festival

After a successful inaugural festival in 2019 in which Inspiring Films participated, Lancaster Pennsylvania's own Red Rose Film Festival has announced the decision to postpone until 2021. We join with them in their call to support the film industry, theatres, and small businesses. Thank you Red Rose Film Festival for inspiring and supporting filmmakers with your mission to create opportunities for celebrating film in the Lancaster Community. We look forward to 2021!

🌹Thank you🌹

The Red Rose Film Festival has decided to postpone our Sophomore year until 2021.

The reason that we are not moving forward digitally is very simple. Our mission from the beginning was to give a physical experience to filmmakers and the community of Lancaster.

Our goal was always for filmmakers locally and globally to share their unique visions that would create an impact in the most traditional sense of movie going and support of small business.

Small businesses and artists still need your help. Make an impact in the community of Lancaster! Support local restaurants, shops, and theatres!

We had over 130 films from 18 countries submit their work in 2020....The films that would have been “Official Selections” in 2020 will automatically be accepted into 2021!

🌹Thank you to our sponsors, supporters, and you the Lancaster Community for an amazing start in 2019! See you all next year when we come back bigger and better! 🌹
