The Rome International Film Festival
The Rome International Film Festival (RIFF) is a film festival that takes place in Rome, Georgia, during the month of September. The venue has been host to many films, which have since been released by companies such as Miramax, the Starz! Network, and HBO. MovieMaker Magazine has called the RIFF “one of the outstanding film festivals in the Southeast” and “one of twenty film festivals worth the submission fee.” 〔(25 Film Festivals Worth the Entry Fee: 2009, MovieMaker Magazine April 30, 2009 )〕
The Rome International Film Festival prides itself on screening the finest in independent film and over the years has shown hundreds of spectacular film offerings originating from around the World.〔(Rome International Film Festival begins tomorrow, Rome News Tribune September 9, 2010 )〕
==History==
Atlanta filmmaker and Turner Broadcasting System employee, Barry Norman founded a film festival in Dahlonega, Georgia, based on the long-running festival in Figuera da Foz, Portugal. Figuera da Foz, a small, coastal time just south of Oporto, utilized film-screening venues in the center of town, within walking distance of many cafes and restaurants which caused a mini village-like atmosphere during the festival. Norman chose Dahlonega as it had a similar feel - the classic community movie house, The Holly Theater, and lots of local cafes in the circular town square. After a three-year run, Norman moved the festival to Rome, Georgia, due to a lack of sponsorship and local town support. Rome Georgia had the classic, art deco theater, the DeSoto as its anchor venue, and also lots of restaurants and lodging in which to host visitors and filmmakers. Helped by Rome Area Council for the Arts Executive Director, Allen Bell, Norman and Bell relaunched the new festival in 2004. A lot of the initial success was based on the incorrect assumption that the festival was being headed up by British film critic Barry Norman, not an insignificant member of the staff at Turner. Whatever the reason it gave it a jump start, and was able to grow by leaps and bounds once Norman turned over the reigns. The Rome International Film Festival has become one of the premier film festivals in the United States. The RIFF is currently headed by Executive Director Harry Musselwhite, who served as Program Director under Norman in 2005 - 2006.〔(History of the RIFF, The Official Site of the Rome International Film Festival September 14, 2010 )〕
