A crowd gathered at Richmond’s Diversity Park to watch short films at Films on the Floodwall the evening of Wednesday, September 13. Films on the Floodwall is a free community film screening held annually at Diversity Park in the James River Park System during James River Week.

A dozen short films created by filmmakers including Melissa Lesh of Emerging Earth Films, Hunter Davis of Home on the James, Elli Morris of Elli Morris Stills & Motion, and Brandon Montijo of Tijo Media were screened at this year’s event.
