This year the Rhode Island International Film Festival is rolling out the red carpet for visiting festival-goers. In an effort to attract more out-of state visitors, we are making it as simple as possible to attend this year’s festival. 

One of our packages takes visitors onboard the RIIFF car of an Amtrak train as it travels through Washington DC, New York, and from Boston on its way to Providence. Orientation onboard is a great opportunity to mingle and form connections.

Hotel lodging offered in two of Providence's finest hotels amongst fellow festival-goers allows for convenient engagement with other members within the film community.

Our hopes are that this travel package, along with the others being offered, will make getting to this year’s festival as easy and accessible as possible.
