The Radical Film Network (RFN) was founded in 2013 when a group of activists, academics, filmmakers and programmers involved in radical film culture in Britain met to discuss the ways in which they could work together to support its development, growth and sustainability. Since then, the RFN has grown rapidly, and now consists of more than two hundred organisations from forty countries around the world: from artists’ studios and production collectives to archives, co-ops, distributors, film festivals and exhibition venues, as well as a host of other less easily categorised groups and individuals.
RFN gatherings — conference and unconferences, festivals and meetings — aim to offer a space open to everyone interested in radical film cultures to meet, come together and share experiences and knowledge on how we conceive and develop our practice.
