flicksartThe FLICKERS: Rhode Island International Film Festival (RIIFF), has secured its place in the global community as the portal for the best in international independent cinema, earning the respect of domestic and foreign filmmakers, filmgoers and trend watchers. This confluence of art and commerce brought together world-class celebrities, award-winning filmmakers, new talent and audience members in record numbers last year. Ranked as one of the top 12 Festivals in the United States, RIIFF is also a qualifying festival for the Short Film Academy Award through its affiliation with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences. There are 65 film festivals worldwide which share this distinction and RIIFF is the only festival in New England.  RIIFF’S ANNUAL PRESENTATION AT THE ORIGINAL GLBT EXPO IN NYCFESTIVAL COLLABORATES WITH LONG ISLAND GAY AND LESBIAN FILM FESTIVAL TO PRESENT VIDEO LOUNGE (Providence, RI March 30, 2008) The Rhode Island International Film Festival (RIIFF) teams up with the Long Island Gay and Lesbian Film to host the Original GLBT Expo’s Video Lounge, April 5 and 6TH, 2008 at the Jacob Javits Center, New York City. The Expo's attendance reaches 20,000 annually and attracts people from all over the world. The lounge will consist of 400 square feet on the floor of the Expo and will provide Expo attendees with entertainment and relaxation, showcasing New York and New England’s GLBT Film makers and the latest videos featuring the main stage performers. “Every year, RIIFF participates at this respected Expo in the Big Apple where we promote the Festival, our GLBT sidebar and encourage visitors to come visit the Ocean State,” said George T. Marshall, Executive Director of the Rhode Island International Film Festival. “This year, along with our popular booth, we will be co-hosting the first-ever video lounge with our friends at the Long Island Gay and Lesbian Film Festival. This promises to be an exciting event as many of our alumni filmmakers will be on hand to answer questions and present new work.” “The video lounge is shaping up to be an exciting venue for film makers to connect to their audience, and publicize their latest films,” states Adam Short, RIIFF’s Producing Director. “Thanks to the hard work of Stephen Flynn, director of the Long Island Gay and Lesbian Film Festival, we will have NY film makers introducing trailers for their movies that will be premiering on the festival circuit this year, shorts films, and plenty of music videos. It promises to be an exceptional marketing opportunity and a means to promote the Ocean State as a GLBT-friendly destination. “Our thanks to the City of Providence, the Providence/Warwick CVB, and the City of Warwick for their support,” added Mr. Short.
