Robinson Film Center (RFC) announced today that it is moving forward with a renewed focus on its core mission to educate, enrich, and entertain through the power of film. As part of this transition, Chef Niema DiGrazia will independently operate the restaurant space under her own management, allowing both organizations to pursue their distinct visions and continue serving the community in meaningful ways.
Since 2008, RFC has evolved into one of Northwest Louisiana’s leading cultural institutions, providing independent, international, classic, and local cinema, alongside film education, media literacy programs, workforce development opportunities, and community events for people of all ages. RFC serves students through field trips and workshops, supports aspiring filmmakers through camps and youth programs, and creates spaces for civic dialogue and cultural celebration.
“This transition allows us to focus more deeply on what we do best, which is using film as a tool for education, connection, and community impact,” said Wendell Riley, Executive Director of RFC. “We are excited about the opportunities ahead and grateful to Chef Niema DiGrazia for her contributions. We look forward to cheering on her continued success.”…
