Revolutions per Minute festival, an artist run festival, is dedicated to short-form poetic, personal, cinematic work in experiments, essay film, animation, documentary, video and audiovisual performance.
The mission of RPM Festival Foundation is to cultivate a vibrant cultural and artistic landscape by championing non-fiction, experimental, animation and avant-garde moving images, as well as supporting filmmakers, artists, immigrants, and diaspora creators. Through our diverse range of initiatives including screenings, symposiums, film festivals, and exhibitions, alongside workshops, skill-sharing opportunities, and artist residencies, we aim to empower and amplify voices within these communities. Additionally, we are committed to providing production funding and distribution support to facilitate the realization and dissemination of compelling artistic projects and hybrid-form creations and innovative expressions.
