Rhode Island International Film Festival

About me:

.. Now in its 13th year, the Rhode Island International Film Festival™, (RIIFF) will take place August 4-9, 2009. In its brief life span, the Festival has become a leading juried competition showcase for international independent filmmakers and their work. In 2008, RIIFF screened 289 cinematic works in seven days to large and appreciative crowds. These films were submitted from over 53 countries, and 32 states in the United States. The Festival presented 58 World Premieres and 41 US/North American Premieres. Following months of adjudication and review, RIIFF films were selected from over 3,000 international submissions. The Festival had 12 sell-outs and is recognized within the industry as the largest festival in New England. What sets RIIFF apart is that the Festival is one of only five broadly focused, independent festivals in New England accepting works of any type (dramatic, documentary, experimental, animation), on any subject matter, and in any genre. In 2002, RIIFF was notified by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) that it had elected to recognize the Rhode Island International Film Festival as a qualifying festival for the Short Films category for the Annual Academy Awards. With more than 7,000 film festivals worldwide, only 63 have this recognition. The Rhode Island International Film Festival, takes place in the historic cities of Providence as well as satellite locations throughout the state; including Kingston, Newport, Narragansett, Barrington, Cranston and Westerly. The dynamic nature of Rhode Island offers excellent screening facilities, strong community support, and unlimited growth potential. Visit www.film-festival.org for more details!
