Welcome to the Pocahontas Reframed Film Festival. We would like to thank all our Sponsors, Partners, Volunteers, and especially, you – the public, for supporting our efforts to bring these great films by and about Native people to the fabulous Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and other venues. The growth of our Festival would not have been possible without the financial support of our Founding Sponsor, Francis Ford Coppola. Our Festival was chosen and fully funded to be a Legacy Project for the 2019 Commemoration, American Evolution group which was initiated and approved by the Virginia General Assembly.
The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, or VMFA, a Richmond, Virginia landmark, opened to the public in 1936. Its purpose is to collect, preserve, exhibit, and interpret art, to encourage the study of the arts, and thus to enrich the lives of all. Historically significant and conveniently located, the Leslie Cheek Theatre within the VMFA now serves as the festival’s primary location.
We are proud to support these other great events
