The Rhode Island International Film Festival™
(RIIFF) for independent film is currently calling for gay and
lesbian entries to its 12th Anniversary Festival. The
Festival will take place August 5-10, 2008 in the state's
beautiful capital city, Providence and throughout Rhode
Island. This year, RIIFF will expand its exclusive week-long
cinema focus that addresses gay and lesbian concerns.
The side-bar, the Providence GLBT
Film Festival, will feature an open pubic colloquium,
film screenings, after parties and a "Meet the Director,"
forum. Additionally, a "fest preview" will
take place in June with RI Pride, highlighting some of the overlooked
jewels from past festivals and offering a taste of what
is to come in August.
We are very proud to continue in 2008 the “Barren
Branches” GLBT Screenplay Competition. Submissions
may be either a feature length or a short film script;
and will be judged by a distinguished panel of industry
professionals, educators, peers and film fans. The Grand
Prize winner may have segments of the work produced
during Take 1-2-3: Filmmaking with the Pros,
RIIFF's annual Master Class on Production which features
the participation of a noted director or as a central
focus during ScriptBiz, the screenplay
pitch forum. The Grand Prize winner will also receive
prizes valued at over $7,500. This includes Final Draft
software, travel, lodging and numerous opportunities
for screenplay promotion within the industry.

"RIIFF is very excited to be able to contiue to the Providence GLBT Film Festival. Over the years,
we have been fortunate to be able to premiere such gay-themed
titles as "Black, White + Gray," "A Four Letter Word," 'Boy Culture,' "Eating Out," 'Jim in Bold,' 'The
Politics of Fur,' 'The Notorious C.H.O.,' 'Behind the
Red Door,' '24 Nights,' 'East of A,' 'Irma Vep,' and
'Red Rain.' We are proud that we were able to create
a break-out platform for what has proven to be exciting
and offer cutting edge work-- and has been so-well received
by our audiences.
In an era where hate crimes dominate the media and
where intolerance reigns in the name of religious virtue,
it is important that the message gets out loud and clear
that gays and lesbians are "Part of the Family"--the
American family. It is also important that we not forget
why we have a secular state and that our hard fought
freedoms are based on separating dogma from human needs
and compassion.
This side-bar is a clear statement that we value all
levels of artistic expression and in our own small way
will help foster communication, dialogue and understanding."
- George T. Marshall, RIIFF Executive Director
