RIFF’s XIII edition will be held from Sunday the 16 to Sunday, March 23 at the Nuovo Cinema Aquila.
This year RIFF continues its cultural initiative of depth and substance by hosting works from around the world. RIFF serves as a showcase to launch those movies in a different way than the big distribution formula, but a way that is just as important. Many films that have participated at RIFF have later reached international success and obtained recognition such as the coveted Oscar statuette. The festival is a continued promotion of talent and creativity of independent film. We invite you to support RIFF by purchasing a pass to view the films in competition. Passes are available from €40: “Independent Pass”(allows you to enter all the screenings) and €50: “VIP Pass” (allows you to enter all screenings, to have a RIFF catalogue, to enjoy discounts at agreed upon restaurants and hotels, and to attend the opening, closing and prize ceremonies).
