A celebration of world cinema, the second edition of the Rochester Independent Global Film Series features 19 diverse, short films divided into four sections:

Youth Section

Documentary Section

Narrative Section 

Italian Contemporary Section

Our series truly embraces independent filmmaking. We asked for stories told from the heart- “a story that you were so passionate about, you picked up a camera and just started shooting because you had to tell it.” This was reflected in the submissions that we received. People of different cultures and ethnicities sent us their stories from their corners of the world and now we are honored and happy to share them with you.
