Presentation

On February 26, Roma Independent Film Festival (RIFF) will hold an inaugural monthly series. They will present the films received from around the world in an informal environment -- there will be no competition awards given in February 2001. However, the films presented in this first of their monthly series will be entered in the 2002 awards competition.

The inaugural gala will be on Monday, February 26th, when the festival will celebrate its beginning. RIFF would be pleased if you join them in celebrating. The purpose, as always, is to create an environment for interaction between filmmakers, the industry, and the public -- specifically, Romans.

Up to 50 films will be selected as finalists in the RIFF Award competition. The winners will be chosen by a jury of entertainment industry professionals and announced at the Gala Ceremony.
