The Independent Picture House, and is open year around. false false 1058484 1026912 The Charlotte Film Society (CFS) operates a four-screen cinema for motion pictures, The Independent Picture House (IPH). IPH presents foreign, arthouse, and independent films for all community members to enjoy throughout the year. The mission of IPH is to educate, engage, and enable individuals through the powerful medium of film. This is done through various film series, special screenings by filmmakers throughout the region, and post-screening discussions during which patrons connect with film and subject area experts to learn more about the process of the movie and/or the subject it explores. 48473 54194 The Charlotte Film Festival (CFF) is an annual 6-day long Festival held primarily at IPH. Typically CFF will present over 130 films from independent, foreign, and/or emerging filmmakers. The festival usually sees approximately 2,000 patrons coming to the cinema to enjoy new and remastered works and includes post-screening discussions, free panel discussions about the film industry known as 'Daily Talks, and networking opportunities for filmmakers visiting the area for the festival. 19041 19456 CFS/IPH is committed to keeping cinema accessible, affordable, and informative for the public. This is primarily done through community-oriented events such as the Community Impact Film Series (CIFS) and Indie on Wheels (IoW). CIFS is an on-going free event series that rotates on issues the community is facing. In 2025, these subjects included: human trafficking, womens health, environmental justice, mental health, immigration reform, animal welfare, invisible/visible disabilities, and housing insecurity/homelessness. Each CIFS event includes a film screening, panel discussion, resource fair, and some form of activation (volunteer opportunity, movement class, artistic reaction, etc.). IoW is a film series in which IPH removes the barrier of transportation by bringing movies out into the community. Most of these events occur in libraries, rec centers, and public spaces due to ASCs Culture Blocks Grant support. In 2025, IPH presented 12 IoW events that are free to the public. 1125998 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 35 0 true 22 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 14 14 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false NC SC X Richard A Ritter 4402417889 3908 Woodfox Drive Charlotte NC 28277 Bradley S Ritter Executive Dir. 60.00 0.00 X 86000 0 6350 Christopher Huntley Treasurer 8.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Setu Raval Chairman 8.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Tom Eiselt Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Terri Brown Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jennifer Ward Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lisa Davis Secretary 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Marcie Kelso Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rodney Stringfellow Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Amy Teats Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 David Thalberg Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lillian Parker Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Christopher Zeigler Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 James L Kiser Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 John Burton Jr Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 86000 6350 0 false false false FOZ 4237 Raleigh LLC 440 South Church Street Charlotte NC 28202 Rent 157366 1 100900 503516 661 604416 Film Festival 13496 13496 Film Revenues 497574 497574 511070 11963 11963 0 0 132426 132426 132426 132426 16436 7826 8610 8610 8610 0 0 360787 94873 265914 265914 Other Income 20688 20688 20688 1555087 938708 11963 0 0 0 0 86000 28667 28667 28666 0 469093 312248 35796 121049 0 41503 21443 8467 11593 54437 33353 6328 14756 0 0 0 0 0 0 23298 1546 4052 17700 31987 11284 20703 0 0 0 213576 213576 21200 2140 19060 0 0 1671 1671 0 94834 94834 13489 13014 475 Film Cost 253387 253387 cash lease adjustment 46256 46256 Development 23300 24 23276 CFF- Other costs 19962 19962 101975 74264 5517 22194 1495968 1125998 90973 278997 292234 494737 0 0 9708 3575 0 0 0 0 4609 6309 3240824 220757 3107579 3020067 0 0 0 0 10619 10000 3424749 3534688 26881 24336 1969979 2023344 1996860 2047680 X 1353424 1263774 74465 223234 1427889 1487008 3424749 3534688 59119 X false false false X 405415 284667 315585 941952 613026 2560645 22356 113401 538853 361670 511070 1547350 0 0 0 427771 398068 854438 1303622 1124096 4107995 0 0 4107995 467 574 2678 1050 11963 16732 0 467 574 2678 1050 11963 16732 0 6501 4335 6755 7228 20688 45507 434739 402977 863871 1311900 1156747 4170234 0.98510 0.98850 0.00400 0.00370 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1513111 220757 1292354 1727713 1727713 3020067 Lease obligation 1811229 Other Liabilities 212115 2023344 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2 Bradley Ritter and Rick Ritter are brothers.
