For 10 days this month, the Twin City will become the Film City. The 26th RiverRun International Film Festival begins Thursday, April 18 and will run through Saturday, April 27.
Thousands of cinephiles from around the world will be in Winston-Salem for special screenings, premieres, programs, and parties. Here’s what you should know about the event.
The festival has earned a reputation for presenting the best in international independent cinema. It showcases new narrative, documentary, short, student, and animated films — meaning you can see movies getting buzz before their mainstream debuts.Nearly 2,000 films were considered for the 2024 festival. This year, the festival will screen 197 of them, the most in its history. Those films represent 51 countries.
“We are so proud to have a lineup of films that will truly move audiences as we celebrate the very best in world cinema,” RiverRun Programming Director Mary Dossinger said.
The RiverRun BIPOC Fellowship Program is new this year. Sudanese Cinema Now will focus on contemporary Sudanese films curated by filmmaker Fatima Wardy.
“This marks the first time anywhere that these films have been screened in one place and we’ve received a great deal of national and international attention for this Sudanese film profile,” RiverRun Executive Director Rob Davis said.(WStoday)
