Virtual Red River
Red River Theatres has created a “Virtual Cinema” to allow audiences to rent the indie films they would typically be showing right now, with proceeds benefiting the theater. New films are available each week and added to an ever growing library. Find a full list of titles at redrivertheatres.org. The “ticket” fees vary but most are $12. When people purchase a film to screen they are emailed a unique link to access the film. A portion of each ticket goes directly to support Red River Theatres. Films available now include “The Booksellers,” “The Times of Bill Cunningham,” “Beyond the Visible,” “Saint Frances,” “Best of CatVideoFest,” “Sorry We Missed You,” “Extra Ordinary,” “The Whistlers,” and “Once Were Brothers.” You can also become a member or donate to Red River Theatres at redrivertheatres.org/support.
