We will miss Jack Garner a great deal. Here are a few photos from last fall when he received the Rochester Film Legacy Award at our festival. Thank you, Jack, for your support of our festival and all that you did to champion the arts here in Rochester. Our thoughts are with his wife, Bonnie, their children, grandchildren, and all that admired him.

With heavy hearts we share thanks and applause for this champion of the arts and film. We were proud to honor Jack Garner with the Rochester Film Legacy Award last fall. Our deepest condolences to his friends and family. He was loved by all and will be sorely missed.

RIP to director, Lynn Shelton

After careful consideration, and with deep regret, our board has made the difficult decision to postpone our festival until November 2021, when we will celebrate our 20th anniversary. Thank you to all of our supporters donors, filmmakers and fans. We hope you will be with us next year as we commemorate 20 years of celebrating the achievements of women in all aspects of filmmaking while educating, entertaining and inspiring Rochester audiences. Please stay safe and be well.

Thank you Visit Rochester for this uplifting reminder that highlights our great city!
