An important decision for the Rappahannock Independent Film Festival was made recently. It was the decision to move forward with a 2009 festival. Despite all of the blood, sweat, and tears we lost during the 2008 festival, we feel like it was all worth it and we’re willing to do it again.
The 2009 festival will take place August 27-30 at a brand new venue! We’ll announce the new location soon, but you can probably find it on your own if you do a little digging… or reading (hint)… reading for free (okay, I’m going to stop there).
Just like last year, we will need the support of the community. Our Call for Entries begins on November 27, 2008, which is… well, tomorrow. So stay tuned for those details. If you are interested in volunteering, shoot an email to volunteers@rifilmfestival.com, and if you want to help us with sponsorship, you can email sponsors@rifilmfestival.com.
We’re looking forward to this year’s festival and we hope you are too! As always, the website will be the best place to get the latest information.

Our goal is to make the Rappahannock Independent Film Festival accessible to as many people as possible, and one of the ways we do that is by keeping ticket prices low. In return, we rely heavily on generous donations from our sponsors and the countless hours contributed by our volunteers. Despite all of this support, our expenses still outweigh our income.
If you would like to support RIFF, and ensure that it continues in the years to come, we’d like to encourage you to purchase a ticket to the Fundraiser Brunch. This event will be an unique opportunity to meet the filmmakers and festival organizers, while supporting the festival financially at the same time. Visit the tickets page to purchase a ticket to the brunch, or better yet, pick up an All Access pass and enjoy the whole festival.
Thank you in advance for your support!
