Global Perspectives: Local Impact

The Red Rose Film Festival is dedicated to the growth & enrichment of the Central Pennsylvania film & small business community. 

Through the promotion of independent films, local economic development, and diverse perspectives from around the globe RRFF seeks impact Lancaster tourism, industry education, job creation, and better incentives for filmmakers to share their GLOBAL PERSPECTIVES with our community.

The Festival works with our thriving art community, small businesses owners and Lancaster Leadership to build a foundation as a new arena for filmmakers from around the world to showcase their diverse perspectives and independent thoughts.  

 We will continue to achieve this through:

•Development of new business opportunities

•Promotion of the Visual Arts both   

local & internationally 

•Inviting Tourism to Central Pennsylvania 

•Education to both students and the general public alike.   

The Red Rose Film Festival (RRFF) promotes programming and events that lift Global Perspectives for Local Impact.

We share these films to begin critical conversations. 

We often share stories of a person or a community that might otherwise struggle to be heard. Our programmers, filmmakers, partners, volunteers and supporters all have diverse experiences and input that can make our impact that much greater, both to our community and the world around us.

Film is a collaborative effort. The greatest films and filmmakers are a product of communities, educational establishments, personal perspective and environmental influences. Now we have an incredible opportunity to embrace all of them.

Community is our purpose. The perspectives of these filmmakers form a bridge across economic, gender, and cultural communities, which upholds our motto: "Global Perspectives, Local Impact." It is in these values that we will continue to respect and represent our beloved Central PA community
