ROME INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL- Rome, Georgia

ROME INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL
Rome, Georgia - USA
September 11 to 12, 2009

One of the premier arts events in northwest Georgia, the ROME INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL (RIFF) delivers excellent independent films to welcoming Georgia, Tennessee, and Alabama audiences.

RIFF attracts over 5,000 attendees each year, and has been deemed by MovieMaker Magazine as "worth the cost of admission" and "one of the best film festivals in the southeastern United States."

RIFF has earned these distinctions by consistently programming a diverse lineup of international films, and by maintaining a warm, friendly atmosphere. Industry networking is also priority at RIFF, and Festival organizers make every effort to connect participating filmmakers with players in the Atlanta film industry.
