RI INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL DEBUTS SHORT SHORT STORY FILM FESTIVAL One-Night Event To Feature Over Thirty Films That Tell A Story In Five Minutes Or Less.
A unique one-night event is coming this November 17th to Providence, Rhode Island. Co-presented by the Rhode Island International Film Festival (RIIFF) and MergingArts Productions, the first annual Short Short Story Film Festival will make its debut at the Perishable Theater at 95 Empire Street, in downtown Providence. The festival takes place at 8:00pm and admission is $10.00 at the door. This event is open to the public.
The one-night festival will feature films of five minutes or less in length, each of which tells a story. The festival will include more than thirty films culled from the more than two thousand films that were submitted to the 2007 RIIFF held this past August. Toni Pennacchia says this is a great way to give films a second chance.
This new festival will feature mostly films from the main RIIFF festival in August that people might have missed. Films from as far away as Australia and Europe will be shown, as well as films from a few New England filmmakers including Michael Bradys, The Collector, from Providence, RI.
The film festival will include a short after-party and awards ceremony. RIIFF has received national and international recognition and is a qualifying festival with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (the Oscars).
