Richmond International Film Festival is Back! And we're celebrating RIFF's 10th Anniversary. The festival will be in town September 7-12, 2021 and Wicker and Wilde and the entire Mix 98.1 crew are really looking forward to the moves and the music!
RIFF will feature more than 150 films from 20 countries and will be shown at various locations in the city.
For the first time in RIFF’s ten-year history, opening night will headline three Virginia centric films.
-First up is the docuseries, THE GOOD ROAD, which was recently nominated for a Daytime Emmy. The first episode of the second season of the series will premier at the festival and the episode is Richmond focused.
-Paired with the Good Road is the Virginia documentary feature, MENDING WALLS. The film follows popular artist, Hamilton Glass, as he challenges over 30 artists with different cultural backgrounds to collaborate on 16 different murals throughout the city of Richmond.
-Closing out opening night is the Virginia production narrative feature, WELCOME TO THE SHOW, which is on a clear path to becoming a university cult classic. The film was written by actress and VCU professor, Dorie Barton for her university students and it completed post during the pandemic.
Throughout the festival there will also be live music featuring 20 bands but also special guests, panels, and signature community events at various venues across Richmond.
Mix 98.1 is a proud sponsor of the Richmond International Film Festival.
