About


The Radical Film Network is the largest network for activist and experimental film in the world. Free to join and run by and for its members, the RFN supports progressive film culture in all its forms across the globe. If you’re interested in radical film – as a maker, teacher, critic, curator or even just a viewer – the RFN is for you.

Founded in 2013, the RFN consists of over two hundred affiliated organisations from more than thirty countries around the world. Organisations range from artists’ collectives and production companies to archives, co-ops, distributors, film festivals and exhibition venues, as well as a host of other less easily categorised groups. The membership also includes several hundred individuals, including academics, curators, filmmakers, programmers, researchers and writers, which communicate and collaborate year-round via our mailing list. Every year, the RFN hosts a conference, which is organised by volunteer members of the network in collaboration with a local educational organisations and other groups. RFN conferences typically include a healthy mix of artists, activists, filmmakers and academics, but each conference is unique - bespoke to the people and place that host it. 

Having run the RFN on a shoestring for ten years, the network is now so big that we need funds to run it. The core work will continue to be done by volunteers, for free (no one will be using this money to take a wage). But we need an operating budget to cover all the costs involved in running the network - such as maintaining a website - and to help limit our environmental impact (e.g. helping unwaged conference attendees travel by train rather than plane). It also means we can hopefully start building up small reserves for any unforeseen emergencies, and maybe even doing more proactive things for the community that have costs attached. So dig deep and know that your money will be put to good use!
