Join us for the rialto family film festival - may 2-3, 2024

---

CGA is excited to host the Rialto Family Film Festival in Searcy, Arkansas. The festival's mission is to provide a space where families can experience the artistry of independent cinema. We aim to curate and showcase high-quality films that are accessible to all ages. We welcome both children's films and faith-based films (in fact, we have a category for the latter) but by no means limit the festival to those genres - we invite filmmakers to submit any works that meet our criteria below.

We're hosting the festival in the Rialto Theater, a historic movie theater that has been in continuous operation since it was first constructed in the early 1920's. The festival is a two-day event which will host panels of experts, Q&A sessions with filmmakers, food trucks, and of course, lots of films.

Support for the Rialto Family Film Festival is provided in part by the Searcy A&P Commission, by the Arkansas Arts Council, and agency of the Arkansas Department of Parks, Heritage, and Tourism, and the National Endowment of the Arts, by Harding University, and by Equip—Bible Online.
