The red carpets are ready as the curtain rises for the 21st Rome International Film Festival (RIFF) from Oct. 31 to Nov. 3 in Rome, Georgia. The event includes a curated lineup of film premieres, celebrity appearances and thought-provoking discussions.
RIFF is a celebration of cinema, culture and storytelling. New films include “Bob Trivino Likes It” as well as “Breakup Season” and “Bang Bang” by Tim Blake Nelson, recipient of the Flannery O’Connor Award, named for the famed Georgia author.
Halloween festivities include a 40th anniversary screening of the horror-comedy classic “Gremlins.” Tickets and passes are available at RIFFGA.com.
